A rainy windy dull Sunday here in the UK so it was the best time to get a nice relaxing shave in 🌧

I got a new very inexpensive razor which i wanted to test today out of curiosity, the below average finish didn't stop me. The head is like a combination between a Merkur & a Gillette Tech, baseplate is like a Merkur but flatter. The shave feels more like a Tech or a Gillette New rather than a Merkur, not having much blade gap but still having good efficiency.

Different baseplate design compared to the Merkur 34c on the right

Pre-shave: Warm water
Razor: Generic Unknown Razor
Blade: Asco Platinum
Brush: Wilkinson Sword
Cream: Maca Root & Aloe
Post-shave: Cold water splash followed by a application of Avon Care- Radiant with Rosewater & Shea Butter body lotion

Wonderful shave, the razor was much better than i expected, it shaved like my Gillette New minus the open comb, Very efficient yet easy on the skin, I did accidentally nick myself on my earlobe by not paying attention, barring that it was a wonderful 3 pass shave with the combination of products in use.

Happy shaves & good health to everyone :)

Part of me was hoping for blood, but on that first WTG pass, this incredible ....
You lost me on this line brother. I don't like mixing shaving with blood and try to avoid it at all cost. I never hope for it but sometimes get what I deserve. This morning I pushed the Knight Helmet and had a few weepers myself. I was not happy but that is what happens sometimes experimenting with new razors. Glad to hear all went well for you.

Lazy and lovin' it! A laid-back, half-hour Sunday afternoon shave. One of these days I promise to post a photo; in the meantime, I'm too busy being lazy.:biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1::thumbup1:
