Blade: Kai SS extra wide(7) excellent blade, sharp & smooth with excellent longevity, great for more blade feel.
Soap: Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore, nice vanilla light tobacco scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm Tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrub + excellent painter.

Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups + cold water rinse razor(testing).
Post shave: Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion + scentless.

Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

Last outing of the Dorco Prime Platinum which which has performed wonderfully with each shave. Today yet again, was no exception....This is my favourite blade from the Dorco camp.
The 1960's slim twist was my first vintage Gillette DE razor which was kindly passed on to me by a friend of the family when i first started de shaving. I've said this on many occasions, it still amazes me that 50 year + vintage razor can still shave so smoothly.

A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
