Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Last week i used the Wilkinson Sword Premium (TTO) razor with all my shaves...This week i will be using the WS Classic...The WS classic is a mild razor which is a good every day/newbie shaver. The two piece design of the razor makes it easy to load the blade, covering the full blade with no exposure of the blade edges...The Blade gap is considerably smaller than the newer WS premium TTO...The razor/blade combo perform well together giving a comfortable shave if you rinse the razor more regularly to clear the blade gap due to it's small blade gap.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable acceptable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with some generous squirts of Mario Falcone EDT to the pulse points.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

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

Shaving Recipe For the day.

Prep: Warm shower:/Asda Tingly Mint & Tea Tree Shower Gel.

Cold wet flannel to my face.
Cien ~ PURE Fragrance Free Sensitive Bar Soap + Nuage Menthol shaving Oil.
Brush: Wilkinson Sword Boar.
Face Lather.

Post:
Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade (~Winter mix~) peppermint lavender eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Superdrug ~ Sierran Breeze ASL./ Aloe Vera Gel.

Greetings,

All of the Wilkinson Sword products worked well together....My personal method of using with the soap bowl, is to bloom the surface in tepid water for a few minutes, then rub the puck directly in to my stubble like a shave stick, rather than load it into the brush i find it creates a much better lather when face lathering...A relaxing 3 pass + pick ups Close comfortable Sunday morning shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
