Nice easy to lather soap. The scent was mild but pleasant, creamy, and slick enough.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Sharpish, smooth, and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs to dfs result. Excellent aftershaves. Rating 9.5/10

Greetings,
I've mentioned before if i had to have only one DE Razor the Muhle R89 would be a very strong contender up until i added the Parker 55SL Semi-Slant razor to my humble collection which is now on equal par to my beloved Muhle r89.. I will always have a soft spot for the Muhle r89 & Merkur 34c as both razors helped me to develop my technique and gain my shaving confidence, for that reason alone i will never part with either razor.

A relaxing 3 pass + pick ups Close comfortable Sunday morning shave with no errors to report...Finishing the last shave of the month off with a small dollop of Wilko ~ Men's Moisturiser.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy Sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Sunday, 31st January 2021

Soap: TOBS Avocado
Brush: Semogue 1305
Razor: Feather Popular
Blade: Feather #1
ASL: Humphrey's Cucumber and Melon Witch Hazel + ASL Couto

First time using both this TOBS and the Feather Popular. Very good soap. I found the razor to be very mild and well designed, just a bit light for my taste. I think I've not extracted the best of her because of my inexperience using it. Not a fenomenal shave, but still pretty darn good. 8/10.
