It's just that I have seen others that are Polo Blue clones. Maybe I do ask odd questions at times-I think I'm guilty of it in family/relative situations.

Greetings,

A wonderful performance from the Chinese Gillette super speed clone & the Dorco Prime Platinum blade duo.

Carrying on with the 2nd of the La Barbiera shaving soap,I tried a face lather rubbing the soap directly into my stubble then building the lather on my face which like the Sweet Orange, the classic performed wonderfully. I prefer to face lather with hard soaps ,that's why I like shave sticks so much.The scent of the Classic soap to my nose has a pleasant woody/spice fragrance which will be great for the Autumn & Winter months.

I'll switch to face lathering with a boar brush in my next two shaves to see if I get the same lathering results as I have done with my synthetic brush.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd Essentials No 17 EdP to the pulse points.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Hi Friends,

Here my Sunday Shave (05.05.2024)


Pre: PAA Cube // Razor: Blackland Blackbird SS // Blade: Gillette Platinum // Soap: Noble Otter Orbit // Brush: Shavemac // Aftershave: Alum - Thayers WH - Noble Otter Orbit

A special shave for me. This my „once in a year“ setup because this setup is what i have used 4 years ago as my father passed way.

Du to this, a little shorter today…

The Blackbird delivered at it´s best. This was the best shave I EVER had with the Blackbird yet. The blade took a major part on that. Very smooth and extremely thoroughly but still with a lot of blade feel.

2 passes and i was smooth like a Dolphin. No nicks, cuts irritation whatsoever.

Even the Alum did not sting. Applied the Thayers Whitch Hazel and the very good cooling and smelling Aftershave.

I miss you Dad I Love you

Hav a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

The Col. Conk Amber Shave Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh #199 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
