Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

A superb comfortable shave from the Merkur 34C & Super-Max SS to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

Both the Indian made GWS (Saloon Pack) & Super-Max SS have performed wonderfully throughout the week. If I were to choose which was the better blade it would be the Vidyut Super-Max SS as it has a good equal match of being sharp & smooth.

The WS (Saloon Pack) however, is also a winner with it's smoothness. Both blades i will revisit in future shaves.

As always, blade opinions/reviews are the most subjective of all traditional wet shaving topics. YMMV.

A very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Creightons Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
