Greetings,

Another new shave set up to start the weekend....Maiden shave with the SuperShave X 'Snapped in 1/2' making another comfortably smooth assertive duo.

I intend to use the Yaqi Katana with my SOTD's until the end of 2020 after the comfortable error-free shaves i've had from this fantastic efficient razor.

It's been a while since i last used the Omega shaving cream and forgot how much easy it is to create a slick protective lather, with a good kick from the Eucalyptus oil to give my face sensors a wake up call on this fresh morning.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable/near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Creightons ~Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth cool, and smelling divine.;)

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