Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend,I've carried on using the Blue's Goat milk soap, something i normally don't do, but after the wonderful performance from my previous shave i've used this superb soap again, which provided me with another wonderful slick protective lather,yet again. A wonderful soap.

The ming shi 2000s razor excelled the shave eliminating my stubble effortlessly with each pass, it's always a pleasure to shave with this amazingly efficient razor,today was no exception.

A wonderful 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off in old school style with a generous splash of Dana ~ English Leather A/S.

My face is super smooth & smelling wonderful.;)

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

I left the soap for a while drying and has reduce substantially de volume. The performance is very good, impressive lather , and the scent is nice, good for a warm and humid day like today in Hobart, but still strange the sense that probably would have needed more time of "maturation"...

cheers

Segal Unitary Razor (1933). I used both a well stropped Segal blade and a trimmed Supermax Platinum, both of which did well. Precisely trimming the modern blade is a little tricky but you can tweak alignment on the bottom plate before tightening if you need to.

WEST COAST SHAVING DE Razor (short fat handle that has the COOLEST look) with a Open Comb head and a new Treat Black Beauty Carbon Blade. I picked up this stirling ROSE soap and splash during the Christmas season - it was offered only in Refill puck and Small splash bottle for a AMAZING price - I also got there Polo Red Tribute in same sizes - I don't need any more shave software - but the pricing was amazing on these.
GREAT ROSE SHAVE!!! I love Rose scents and the soap commander ROSE Balm just matched perfectly. Also used the stirling tuxedo knot brush that also cost around 9 bucks.. bargain central

Peace, Jamie
