    Shaving recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/Nivea Men Power Fresh Shower Gel.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face & head.
    FatFace Ocean Escape Soap Bar.
    Brush: Anbbas 24mm Synthetic.
    Bowl Lather.
    Bowl: Home Bargains Stainless Steel Side Bowl.
    Lather: Vitos Vegetal shaving soap.
    Blade: Willy's Premium.( D1)
    Razor: Parker 98r.

    Post:
    Cold water face & head wash with brush squeezings, Cold Water Face & head Rinse. /Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./P&G Old Spice Original ASL./The Real Shaving Company PSSB.

    Greetings,

    ' November Focus on one razor Month'

    A new shave set up to start the Weekend....I haven't gave my Parker 98r a run out for a while, so for the remaining two days of October and the whole of November i will focus on using it pairing it up with a variety of subcontinent DE blades.
    Maiden shave with the Willy's Premium which paired together with the Parker 98r very nicely with no issues making an efficiently smooth duo Indian razor & blade duo.

    The Parker 98r was my first proper DE razor that i bought when i introduced myself to the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving... Not long after that in the same month i bought the Muhle R89 and the Merkur 34C HD...However, since then i have infrequently used the 98r, so it will be good to reacquaint myself to this hefty efficient Indian made DE razor and give it some attention it rightly deserves.

    After recently re reacquainting myself to the Cella Crema Da Barba shave cream my intention was to use it again today....However, after noticing the Vitos Vegetal shaving soap i went for the Vitos Vegetal another equally wonderfully 'Full On' vibrant sweet almond scented shaving soap to start my weekend off in style. If you like almond scented shaving products this soap will blow you always with it's fragrance performance and post shave feel...Superb stuff!

    A very enjoyable close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of The Real Shaving Company PSSB.

    My face & precious swede are both feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    I appreciate that thank you. I did find this to be one of the most challenging razor types that I've ever used. Because it's basically injector blade stock mounted on a Salon Style razor. If I had made a mistake that would have been real bleeding.

    I could be wrong, but you didn't switch hands. When using an open blade razor, I use both hands.

    Razor: Drew Dick 7/8” Half Hollow Damascus
    Brush: Jack Skully
    Lather: Razorock XXX (1508.5 Project)
    Aftershave: Stirling Piacenza
    Additional Care:
    Nivea Cool Balm
    Stirling Alum Block
    Thayer’s Witch Hazel - Original

    Fabulous shave with the refresh Drew Dick blade on the lapping film. Superb smooth, efficient and comfortable shave. Three passes as per my norm.

    I received the SWMBO thumbs up for the smoothness as well as smelling fantastic.

    We have a dreary day here on LI resulting in the cancellation of Anthony’s soccer game. I guess I will be doing things around the house including assisting my cousin in setting up a fish tank.

    Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.
