Sat 27th SOTD
Cream Ach Brito Lavender 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor Gillette Slim N4
Blade KAI 5th (Mysterious KAI Blades PIF Participation)
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Proraso Green Splash
Nice cream. Very creamy and slick with a light lavender scent.
Shave with razor paired with the blade for 3passes at setting 9-9-7 was reasonably comfortable but it was obvious the blade is not as good anymore. Managed dfs result without any blood which I am satisfied with. The blade will be ditched. Excellent aftershaves.

Greetings,

(Proraso Products & slant razor week.) ( Face & Head Shave.)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....It's been while since i last used the Proraso sandalwood soap, i forgot how much i like this soap it's scent, and the lather that it creates.

The Treet 7 Days Platinum paired together wonderfully with the Parker 55SL, making a smooth efficient Indian made razor & blade duo.

A very enjoyable Close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few generous squirts of Oud 24 Hours EDP to the pulse points.

My face and precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

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

Now that's a happy shave! (Maybe stop it down a bit--just to open up a tad more depth of field. You certainly have enough light to do it. JMHO, though.)

Thanks Bill. I've been experimenting with the depth of field. This one was shot wide open with a Nikon macro lens.
