:Face & Head Shave:


Greetings,

Another wonderfully relaxing Williams Superlather sunday shave.

The yaqi doc head /schmidt r10 handle, is a wonderful frankenrazor, the appearance of the head makes it looks very aggressive but it's the complete opposite but paired together with the right blade choice it's smoothly efficient.

The gillette wilkinson sword blade matched up superbly with the frankenrazor, showing no signs of tugging throughout both my face & head shave.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Cien ~ Aloe Vera Body Lotion.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.

Nice. The razor really pops.

Thanks! Large format has a very shallow depth of field. I wanted to get the razor sharp, then have a couple of other things sharp enough to understand them without having them dominate.

I've been shooting only black-and-white for a long time. Now I'm excited to start shooting color. I love the way the Portra 400 rendered the Aqua Velva.

I really like the grainy, ultra-high-contrast look there.

Great, the ethereal soft focus of your background items relative to the pin sharp contrast of your razor.

Great, the ethereal soft focus of your background items relative to the pin sharp contrast of your razor.

Thanks. In the long run, it turned out to be more work than I had anticipated.
