    Shaving recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower / Original Source ~ Tingly Mint & Tea Tree Shower Gel.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face.
    Simple ~ Sensitive Bar Soap + Wilko Men's shave Oil.
    Brush : Yaqi ~ 24mm Sagrada Familia Synthetic.
    Face Lather.
    Soap : Proraso Sensitive.
    Blade: Bolzano Superinox Inossidable. (4)
    Razor: Parker 89r.

    Post:

    Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade peppermint Lavender, + eucalyptus, Tea Tree Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./English Leather ASL./ L'OREAL~ Soothing Birch Sap Post Shave Balm.

    Greetings,

    Last use of the bolzano s.i. blade which has performed superbly with each outing. These blades are smooth sharp & very forgiving. Every razor i've paired them up with has been a excellent match...The longevity of them is astoundingly good i know i could quite easily get another two shaves from this blade but i will retire it due to me having a boat load of other blades to contend with.
    I have carried on with the hefty Parker 89r to finish my shaving week off, another razor i haven't added to my razor rotation for a while. throughout the week my humble parker have provided me with socially acceptable error free shaves.
    Today was no exception.

    This morning myself and other family members are going to pay our respects to my aunt Joan (86 years of age) who finally past away last week, i say 'finally' because she lived in a care home in a state of extreme dementia for four years which was horrible for her even though she wasn't aware of it, 'a blessing in disguise for her i suppose' and equal for her children family, friends and dedicated supportive care home staff.
    Alzheimer's disease/Dementia is the most undignified disease for anybody..'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy'...Anyway at last she is at rest, away from this crazy covid pandemic madness world we are living in at the moment.

    Another pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of L'OREAL~ Soothing Birch Sap Post Shave Balm.

    My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Take care everyone. Yours. B

    Massacre of the Innocents has been in the den for awhile. To my nose it's similar to Stirling Haverford but not quite as sweet. Very nice.

    OCtober Shave
    SE Shave # 166

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: PAA Starling V2 (OC)
    Blade: GEM Stainless
    Brush: Brent Jacobson Tamarind and Ebony w/ Paragon 24mm boar
    Lather: Declaration Grooming/Chatillon Lux Bon Vivant
    Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Bon Vivant Toner
    Additional Care:
    Barbero Alum Block
    Stirling Tea Tree Witch Hazel

    What a phenomenal shave on this damp and dreary morning. Yes folks we are going to get soaked today. I will have reminders of this shave throughout the day. The longevity of the Bon Vivant scent will be ever present. Even more so given the mandatory mask requirement.
    The soap and the razor easily mowed down this morning’s growth. The toner provides a nice post shave feel and as a result I never use a balm with it.
    Yes Jeff, @jgreenepa, I am smooth and....


    Wait for it

    Velveteen! :happy093:
    Have a great day gentlemen.

    That's a nice Shavette-fu, Jason, but honestly, I think you have to do a lot better if you expect any kind of trophy...:happy097:

    Well, if it performs like the '47 SS, it's a winner. It's already a looker.
