Greetings,


:Face & Head Shave:


A new shave set up to start the weekend..Maiden shave with the new Gillette Winner Blade, which i've finally got round to trying out. Paired together with the ball end tech was a smooth efficient of which i find very similar with the Indian Gillette Wilkinson Sword (Saloon Pack), quite sharp, but very forgiving quite possibly the same blade,using the 'Gillette Winner' name with new packaging for resale purposes...Another great value for money indian made blade, the longevity of them, i'm not sure, but i will take a guess and say around 2-3 'head shaves'3-4 face shaves (max),usage of them will tell, depending on your hair & skin type.

After the superb shave with the recently acquired Vie Long shave stick i've decided to use the wilkinson sword shave stick,another shaving soap i've hardly gave any attention to,i've forgot how quickly this shave stick creates a lather.Some users will find the scent a little artificial , but it's not unpleasant i personally like it, but YMMV as they say...IMHO it excelled itself way above the 'shaving blue soap bowl' as the stick contains lanolin the bowl doesn't, it's equally as good as the palmolive classic stick the only advantage the palmolive stick over it is the price tag.The post shave feel is amazingly good,due to the added lanolin which my skin rhino skin type adores..However,my only personal small gripe with the stick is, it doesn't last very long compared to my other shave sticks.maybe it's the addition of the lanolin,that has made it softer from other shave sticks.

Second 'head shave' with the gillette ball end tech which i find very comfortable for head shaving really good for reaching the "awkward back of my head blindspot areas",as with every razor i use for head shaving 'if it requires it or not' i rub my fingertips with a alum block which gives a good firm grip without the fear of the razor slipping from my hand whilst shaving my head and slicing my precious swede to pieces...After the shave i rinse the handle with cold water to remove any alum residue.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of The Real Shaving Co ~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.;)

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