Just realized I had a brush from
Canada's Italian Barber, so I'll
be using that for the rest
of the week.

Had to deal with two days' growth,

but today's ensemble made
the task effortless.

All of life should
be this easy.

Stay healthy,

Whilst checking out the shaving section at my local (Walmart) Asda, I spotted the new King C. Gillette blades. I've seen quite a few King C. Gillette items there, but never the blades (on their own) before.

Considering the incredible amount of packaging (for 10 blades) I decided I would purchase the £5 (50p/blade) pack, just to see what they were like. Normally packaged 10 packs (usually Personna or Dorco) tend to retail at ~£2 in Asda and other UK Supermarkets.

At least all that packaging is biodegradable (just card and paper) :001_rolle:

Information on the back of the outer pack (for those of you who must know things :wink2:):

Obviously, I had to try one straight away. :yesnod:

SOTD - Fatip Friday Meets DecemBOAR 2021

Razor:
Fatip Piccolo Nickel Open Comb - my favorite razor, mighty modern classic excels
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (2) - sharp and smooth winner, very impressed
Brush: CVS Blade Boar Brush, 24mm - my 2nd boar brush, good performer
Pre-Shave: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Bar, Proraso White Pre Shave - soften stubble & protects skin
Soap: PdP No. 63 - lathers easily, smells good, good performer
Aftershave: Thayers WH Aloe Vera Formula, Duke Cannon A/S Balm - very good combo
Growth: 68 hours
Passes: WTG, XTG, cleanup
Rating: 9.7/10

Results: Quick 2 pass early morning Fatip Friday shave with my favorite razor, the mighty Piccolo. No time to Chase the BBS Dragon. Combined with the sharp & smooth Wizamet blade, achieved a DFS result. Very Good Shave. In honor of DecemBOAR 2021, I used my CVS drugstore boar brush. The CVS Blade Boar Brush is a good quality shave brush that has great face feel, comfortable handle, good backbone, splay, soft tips and whips up good lather. My other boar brush, the Omega 10049, was my first brush. 3 years later, it's still one of my favorite brushes. I currently have a small collection of 8 shaving brushes, 3 natural and 5 synthetic.

Shaving recipe for today.

Prep: Warm shower:/ Asda Sea Salt & Fennel Extract 2 in1 Shower Gel.

Pre:
Cold wet flannel to my face.
Pears Transparent Soap.
Brush: Omega 10051.
Face Lather.
Lather: Monsavon Au Lait.
Blade: Derby Premium.(1)
Razor: Mühle R89.

Post:
Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse./ Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./Calvin Klein Eternity For Men ASL. /Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

Greetings,

( Mühle R89 & Merkur 34c week.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend....After the fantastic shaves i had with the Edwin Jagger DE 89/Derby Usta duo last week, i was curious to try out and pair up the Derby Premium with both the Mühle R89 & Merkur 34c to see if i get the same successful results as i did with the EJ DE89/ Derby Usta duo.

It's been a while since i last added the Omega 10051 boar to my brush rotation, and realised how much of a good brush this stout little brush is for face lathering.

Starting with the Mühle R89 the Derby Premium blade felt smooth and comfortable. Another impressive comfortable razor & blade duo.

As always the monsavon soap provided a luxurious protective slick lather...The monsavon au lait has to be one my favourite shaving soap to date. It's slick, protective and the post shave feeling it gives is superb making each shave i have had with it has been an enjoyable pleasurable experience.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pickups silky smooth shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine. ;)

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen. 😎
