Greetings,

Third shave with the trig ~ (green/white pack) Stainless Silver Edge , was still showing no signs of bluntness or pulling, pairing up with the 34C wonderfully making a smooth efficient duo.

It's been a good while since i last used the Palmolive classic shave cream, and forgot how good this cream performs, and it's great scent through out the shave...Wonderful stuff!

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Arko ~ Comfort Cologne.

My face is feeling smooth refreshed, & smelling divine.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.

Tried out my new travel items today, the result was more than DFS but not quite a BBS. The Arko gear is superb and smells kinda sherbet orange to me YMMV. Well worth the small amount of coin . The cologne is the same scent as the balms and cream but a little stronger, but only just .
