Greetings,
Over the past month or so all my slant razors (Merkur 37C+39C,&Parker 55SL) have excelled and gave me consistently good shaves.What more can i ask for.
Last outing of the lanolin wool fat shaving soap which has impressed me throughout the week provided me with an acceptable lather with each shave leaving a good post shave feel...Another shaving soap that i'll be adding more regularly to my soap rotation in future shaves.
The Dorco prime platinum blade has excelled my shave throughout this week with it's smooth forgiving sharpness which has been a great combo. A very good blade. I intend to carry on using my 55SL to try out the Dorco ST300 blade which will be a first for me, to compare with the Dorco P.P. blade to see if i get the same very smooth comfortable shave.
A pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of L'0REAL ~ Soothing Birch Sap PSB.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

A new base from Strike Gold Shave called "Patriots". Based on the scent of Ultra Zest from Thierry Mugler, citrusy, fresh scent and performs great. Once again the Outlaw razor was a pleasure to use. I like the weight, balance and feel of the shave from this razor and the fit and finish is gorgeous. The splash from ES was very enjoyable and left my face feeling smooth as silk, even if I have no idea how the name of it is pronounced!

Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice
The moment I open the Soap lid...wow! Love the BayRum scent. The scent strength is exactly how I like it. The room filled with BayRum. Use my best Synthetic to load from tub for 30secs then bowl lather adding water slowly. Wow...what a thick...thick creamy lather! Slick too...not very slick. Good scent throughout the shave.
Shave with slant razor paired with this excellent blade was smooth and comfortable and still as sharpish. 3+1 multiple passes...very close results. Should be satisfied with 3 passes and the extra buffing caused 1 weeper...against a BBS result...hahahaha.
Icy water rinse settled the weeper followed by cooling Thayers and soothed by Hyaluronic & Reuzel.
9.5/10 today. Enjoyed the excellent BayRum shave!! Gotta get myself the BayRum AS!!
