Greetings,

Last shave with the Gillette 'NOS 94' super silver platinum blade on it's 8th outing it's gave me consistantly error-free comfortable near BBS shaves with each shave with no tugging or dulling issues.
I won't be putting the Gillette 'NOS 94' blade into retirement just yet, as i intend to carry on using it in future shaves. I feel this blade can give me another 3-4 shaves until it starts to lose it's edge. I intend to find out.
Another pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Arko ~ Cool ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.

Greetings,

Open Comb DE Razor Week.

Another eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...I had all intentions to give the Tiger Platinum blades another run out but changed my mind at the last minute, and used The Treet Dura Sharp Teflon coated blade instead, purely because it's another blade i've only used a few times and i can't remember the last time that i added them to my blade rotation.
Paired together with my Parker 24C was a very impressive smooth efficient duo, which I'll be using again in my future shave set ups.
A pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

Shaving recipe for today.

Prep: Warm shower / Nivea Men ~ DEEP CLEAN Shower Gel.

Pre:
Cold wet flannel to my face.
Pears ~ Transparent Soap Bar / Nuage Menthol Shaving Oil.
Brush: Chinese Unbranded Silvertip Fibre.
Bowl Lather.
Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.
Frankenlather : Palmolive Classic & Ingram Menthol Lather Shave Cream.
Blade: Treet Dura Sharp. (2)
Franken-razor: Yaqi DOC Head / Schmidt R10 Handle.

Post:
Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade lavender eucalyptus, +Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Brut ~ Splash-On Lotion.
Wilko ~ Men's Moisturiser.

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The yaqi 'DOC' head on first appearance looks extremely aggressive, but looks are very deceiving sometimes it's a wonderfully smooth non-aggressive head, however like any razor either aggressive or non-aggressive, if not treated with respect it'll bite you.
Out of all the Franken-razors that i have mixed & matched this one is my favourite. The weight of the Schmidt handle gives it a good heft this could easily be my daily shave razor as it's non-aggressive, but at the same time gives a comfortable DFS/near BBS, and seems to pair together with every blade choice that i have matched it up with so far. What more could i ask for.
Another very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.
