Nice shave yesterday.

Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

An enjoyable shave to finish off my shaving week

The wonderfully efficient 89R /Gillette London Bridge duo was another great match mowing through my stubble with effortless ease.

In my next week's shaves i will use the Gillette Super Blue another DE blade i have infrequently used to see if the comparison between the Gillette London Bridge differs.

Another enjoyable 2 pass + pick-ups comfortable silky-smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling smooth cool & smelling divine. 😉

Keep safe and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. 😎

Brush Yaqi 24mm Purple Mink
Razor Gillette Fatboy F4
Blade Gillette Nacet Stainless 2nd
Aftershave Stirling Executive Man Splash
This is a classy cream. Nicely scented with a slick lather. The AS matched well...
Just an awesome shave with this classic razor paired with a marvelously smooth blade at setting 9 for all 3passes for a bbs finish. Not many blades can be used at the max setting in this razor...

Notes:

If I would have been just a little more deliberate with my strokes this could have been a one pass DFS/BBS shave!! Amazing!

Excellent shave with nice results - not everywhere a full BBS but a DFS was had.
