MdC Monday


Hello friends

The week started with a beautiful Monday. Perfect for MdC Original with its aromas of Lavender, Mint and Rosemary. As always with it and the Semogue SOC Boar, an easy and abundant lather.

In honor of this week's SOTD theme, I chose the blade that was generously given to me by my dear @awk_m4 :vintage Polsilver. A special blade that combined extremely well with the Greencult 2.0 plate II. I finished with my favorite Pinaud, Classic Vanilla.

With us a genius, Charles Mingus in a tribute to another genius, Lester Young.

Rating: 10


Have a nice week and great shaves!

Nice lather and scent from this cream, brush, and splash combination.

Another very in-expensive eclectic shave set up where everything paired together wonderfully.

Another incredible performance from the Ming Shi 2000s Futur clone/Dorco Prime Platinum duo. This my new favourite razor & blade set up so far this year.

The Dorco Prime Platinum on it's 3rd outing still feeling smooth & efficient cutting through my face & head stubble with effortless ease.

I will continue to use it with my final shave of the week on Thursday.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

My Winning arrived today, so first shave with it. End result was absolutely BBS and irrtation free. I probably went a bit slower than I needed to, I think I'll get more confident with a few more shaves. Very happy!
