Greetings,

It's been some time since I last used the Parker 24C. Out of all my parker DE razors the 24C took more than a fair few shaves for me to bond with it. However, once I adjusted to using a steeper angle, which parker razors require IMHO, it rewarded me with close efficient shaves...Some razors take a while before you bond with them, the 24C was the one for me.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Top o’ the morning to you!

My Saint Paddy’s Day shave:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 11
Lea Menthol SC
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

Since I don’t know of any Irish soaps or creams I grabbed an awesome Spanish cream and I really enjoyed it. The Lea Menthol smells so nice, I love how easily it lathers, it’s quite slick, the menthol sensation is at a good middle of the road level, and it’s pretty good skincare wise. The Prep and the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave finished things off perfectly. Three swift passes resulted in a terrific BBS shave that was a real pleasure!

Wishing you all a great Sunday - happy Saint Paddy’s Day!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle
Semogue SOC Boar
1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pharaoh's Dreamsicle AS

The Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle Shave Soap lathered well with Semogue SOC Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pharaoh's Dreamsicle After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Gem pushbutton/Enders
Brut type soap

2 pass DFS+

Tried a pushbutton again but I never get a very close shave from one. The Enders picked up the slack okay.
