Outstanding lather quality! Very rich and creamily slick, the scent is just too light. Wayyyy...too much from just a little...
I am just enjoying the best shaves ever with this AC razor and blade setup. Unbelievably effortless silky smooth, comfortable and efficient for 3passes resulting in another continuous bbs session. Rating 10/10!!
Found myself reluctant to return to DE but AC blades are just too expensive...hahaha

Greetings,
( Egyptian DE Blade Month.)
A new shave set up to start the weekend...For the next month i shall be using various Egyptian made Lord DE blades starting with the Asco Super Stainless...The parker 87r/Asco super stainless blade was a excellent match...My skin type gets along with every Lord blade i have shaved with giving me acceptable shaving results.
A very enjoyable 3 pass + pickups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of L'0REAL ~ Soothing Birch Sap PSB.
My face is feeling smooth & cool.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
My wife chose this shave today. She lost her sense of smell to covid a few months ago and I can't wait for the conversation we have when she gets it back about this "old guy scent" For now I will continue to get away with it and enjoy every second.
