Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...Maiden shave with the Eco Warrior Bergamot & Lime Shaving Bar.

I used the soap like a shave stick rubbing it directly into my stubble then started to build up a lather with my wet brush adding more water to the tips of the brush continued building the lather until i got it to the consistency i like, adding more water to the tips of brush in-between each pass.It's a thirsty soap and can take a good amount of water when building up a lather without fear of it drying out. The soap has a wonderful scent, a good texture it's protective, slick and most importantly the lather didn't dissipate or dry out on my face in between each pass, leaving an impressive post shave feel to my face. An excellent Shaving soap of which i look forward to use again.


A pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling divine.

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

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

A good acceptable shaving soap ok it's not not in the same league as a traditionally made shaving soap but i didn't expect it to be.Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Boots ~ Moisturising Lotion.


My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy you Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Early morning cold water shave.

The Scottish Fine shaving soap created a superb lather in a short space of time i get excellent results with a very wet brush, then vigorously load the brush for a minute or so until the brush has a good amount then continue to load the lather upon my mature mug...The post shave feel from this soap is great leaving my face feeling moisturised and super smooth...A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report....Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Greetings,

The Every Ready 1924 i find the most assertive of all the Ever ready SE razors which took a few shaves adjusting to it's assertiveness. The 1924 holds quite a lot of water in the cap head when rinsing but a quick shake removes it instantly. Just like my other SE razors this vintage lady provides a pleasurable irritation-free comfortable shave, today was no exception.An enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Arko ~ Cool Aftershave Balm.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.
