Greetings,

Early morning shave.

Third outing with the Chinese super blue blade, which still performed wonderfully with no dulling issues.

Each time i use blue's shaving soap, the outcome of the shave has always good, this morning was no exception...The soap s doesn't have much of scent, but it's performance, & post shave feel are amazingly good. 'However, i have mentioned before i won't buy it again as the price has more than trebled from some seller since i last bought it' for a little extra i could buy MWF or the new Cella Bio... I still recommend anyone who is curious to give a try though.

A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Nivea Men Sensitive Cooling PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

I decided to give my Razorock Hawk V2 with a brand new Feather Professional Super another try... BBS without any problems except under the chin. It seems only my trusted go-to Fatip Originale Picollo (with a Voshkod blade used for the second time) is able to turn that area into BBS+... (The Picollo has the handle of my golden Lo Storto that unfortunately for me doesn't give me the same result as the Originale...)
I don't think there's any need to sum up the products, the picture speaks for itself... (Special mention though for the Proraso exfoliating scrub! Best of the best!)

Comments	Second shave with the ATT/Personna combo. With so many razors, in my rotation, I forgot how good this razor is. A perfect, smooth shave. I decided I would add a new soap to the mix: Ethos Unscented. The soap made a wonderful slick lather. Have a great day.

My SOTD setup for the past month or so.
Fantastic slickness and post shave skin care from the bundubeard rooi afrikaaner with its super high tallow content and prep aftershave balm combo. The derby extra started off quite tuggy, they aren't really the sharpest blades out there, but they smoothed out a lot by the third use, surprised I managed to get 12 uses out of this blade.

Razor: Gillette slim adjustable
Brush Yaqi Sagrada familia
Blade: derby extra (1-12)
Soap: bundubeard rooi afrikaaner
Aftershave balm: prep
