Thanks Ron, this was my first shave with àn injector razor. I must say I was impressed, it was a smooth and irritation free shave. The razor was deceptively mild, and I came out with a 2 pass with touch ups BBS shave,

Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the last weekend of 2017,it's the maiden shave of the APShaveCo ~ Cashmere synthetic brush which was a christmas gift from my siblings, the verdict?..A total joy to use it's the softest feeling brush i've had the pleasure of using to date, but still has plenty backbone, ideal for either face or bowl lathering, a superb addition to my shaving den..i'm well pleased with it.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups no-irritation silky smooth shave with no errors to report.


Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Proraso~ Green A/S.

My face is feeling very smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy the start of the last saturday of 2017, ladies & gentlemen.
