An unseasonably warm & sunny day here in Bristol (UK). So after a day cycling in North Somerset, the TOBS Grapefruit followed by the Cella lemon cologne provided a nice refreshing citrus zing.
First shave with a Schick Injector; couldn't get the angle, so too much scraping over the same area left me with a face like a slapped backside. I smell great though!

Greetings,


A relaxing Sunday 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.

'Williams Mug Shaving Soap' i now call 'Williams Mug Sunday Shaving Soap', i've been swooned by this soap since i've started to give it some attention, by adding it more frequently to my SOTD set ups...I know it's another love,detest & hate YMMV soap,but i get really good results from this classic humble soap, i find it's slickness & post shave feeling amazingly good.

Another vintage shave with my E-R 1912 , which was my first introduction to the wonderful world of vintage E-R SE razors, kindly gifted to me by fellow member of TSR forum (UK) of which i'm eternally grateful for.

Every shave that i've had with this vintage lady has been a silky smooth comfortable, irritation free one, today was no exception.The E-R 1912 (U.S.A.) is less aggressive than the 1914, but just as smooth and comfortable.

I'm fond of all my vintage E-R SE ladies, but this is my favourite, purely because it was my first, and every shave i've had from this vintage lady to date has been a pleasurable experience..The audio feedback from these vintage ladies is amazing!..' It's Like scraping a knife over hot buttered toast'..Amazing.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of L'0REAL ~ Soothing Birch Sap Post Shave Balm.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
