1st use of the sentinel. Very light for a Stainless. No blade overhang. Blade sings like a muhle rocca when shaving. Nice finish. Blade clamped tightly.

Really lovely in use. Not too mild or aggressive. Just right. Good blade feel. Got a really nice first shave.

Can highly recommend this razor. Got it in their sale.

(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend... It's been while since i use my Parker Variant and forgot how much of a efficiently smooth it is which paired together with the Dorco Prime Platinum wonderfully mowing through my face & head stubble with effortless ease. Out of the four adjustable razors i have the Parker Variant is my favourite.

The Dorco PP blades may not be the most efficient of blades but I find them very forgiving and super smooth and pair up well with all of my DE razors especially the more assertive ones.

I personally find that Platinum coated blades feel smoother & the longevity of them is better over stainless steel blades...That said if had to choose just one type of blade then it would be the good old stainless PTFE/Teflon coated over platinum because they have a good balance of been assertive & smooth even though the longevity on Platinum blades is better i would still choose them...As always blade choice is a very subjective topic.

Another enjoyable close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Cucumber Moisturising Lotion.

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

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

Razor: Koraat 6/8
Post: DG Cerberus Fougere AS & EDP

Cracking shave this morning, smooth shave and finish. Brought out the Cerberus as it hasn't seen the light for a while and seeing as it's sunny I thought why not something a little more fresh.

Smelling good and looking forward to a wander out to one of our local Welsh beaches with the family too stretch both the little ones legs (2 legged and 4 legged variety).

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers
