(Face & Head Shave)

Birthday face & head shave.

Greetings,

The Goodfellas' Smile Abysso Shaving Soap & ASL duo which provided me with an exceptional shave the lathering performance of the Abysso shaving soap is superb providing a great slick protective wonderfully scented lather in a short space of time. The matching ASL finishes the shave off excellently.

It's been a while since I last used my parker 87R, I find the parker TTO models slightly less efficient than the 3 piece models, that's not to say the TTO models are non-aggressive shrinking violets, because they're not!.... I find them solidly built & great value for money razors.

Out of all the remaining TTO parkers in my collection which are the 87R,22R, & 92R the 87R is my favourite, I really like the short handle, it has a good hefty weight," like all my parkers" good efficiency, and removes face and head stubble with effortless ease once you adjust to shaving with a steeper angle to get the best from them.

The Parker 87R/Gillette Winner platinum was a great smooth efficient duo...I've mentioned in many of my postings that shaving products produced in the subcontinents don't get the credit they rightly.

The mild efficient Gillette Guard performed wonderfully mowing through my head/dome stubble with ease...shaving.

What i like about the Gillette guard is the pivot handle design glides the cartridge head over the contours of my head, the wide open comb gap on the cartridge head doesn't clog up and the overall result it provides is comfortably & smooth with no irritation or cuts. However, because it is light you don't need to add excessive weight like you can with other cartridge razors if you do, It'll bite, especially shaving the sides of your head. If only the handle had more weight, it would vastly improve it's overall performance.

A close comfortable birthday face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Goodfellas Smile Abysso ASL.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

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

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I like Parkers too. I probably have around eight or nine different ones. If I had to pick, I'd say their 2pc Parker Variant is my favorite.

Saturday morning:

Long hot shower with Tabac bath soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 7
Tabac Shaving Stick
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac AS Splash
Tabac Cologne

Ever since I received a brand new Tabac stick and bowl I’m able to treat myself to lots more shaves with this awesome soap. This morning I had a great shower with the Tabac bath soap which in my honest opinion is probably the best commercial stuff available, the Tabac scent is an old school European delight, the stick gave me tons of beautifully scented lather that was so slick as well as cushiony and protective not to mention how great my skin felt. The Lubriderm moisturizer is so soothing, and finally the Tabac aftershave followed by the cologne were a perfect finishing combo. Three passes did the job for me - another super duper BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

See you all tomorrow - have a great day!

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Cella Shave Soap
Jayaruh #220 2-band Badger
Supply SE MAX
Supply Black Label Injector
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Cella After Shave Balm

The Cella Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #220 2-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE MAX Razor and the Supply Black Label Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Saturday Night 07/06/2025

• Razor : Alpha Shaving Stubble vs Steel Guido Brass. (Hong Kong)
• Blade : Wizamet Iridium Extra Stainless (1).
• Brush : Yaqi Mocha-Matcha Tea Color 26mm Synthetic.
• Shaving Cream : Proraso Cypress & Vetyver Shaving Cream.
• Aftershave : Cella Original Splash.
• Weight : 105 grams.

Hi all,
I had a lovely Shave Tonight with the Alpha Shaving Stubble vs Steel Guido razor using the open comb base plate.
I'm not going to go into the razor in much detail as I'm pretty sure that Paste & Cut Razor Review Guru has one and will go right over it.
I will say its a nicely build razor and pleasing to the eye.
The open comb plate gave me a very close efficient shave paired with the Wizamet blade.
One pass WTG/ATG Done! clean as a whistle.

Cheers.

 

Happy Birthday mate.
Cheers to you.
