Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend..A welcoming return of the Parker 94R, which i passed on to a family member last year along with a W.S. Classic razor,a selection of DE blades, two shaving brushes shave sticks & various other stuff so he could ventured into the wonderful of traditional wet shaving after telling me he would like to try it out,which i encouraged him to do so advising him to start out with the wilkinson sword classic razor, until he gradually developed his shaving confidence and technique then moving on to the parker 94R,which is a more aggressive efficient DE razor.

Unknown to me however, he only shaved with the W.S. classic razor a few times and decided to go back to using Cartridge & disposable razors,probably because like a vast majority of people who first venture into the world of traditional wet shaving expecting too much, too soon and not taking into account what i told him that it has a learning curve...Anyway he returned the parker 94R, and W.S. Classic razor +DE blades feeling guilty that i set him up with the starter kit in the first place ,and didn't have the heart to tell me it wasn't for him he thanked me, however i told him to keep the w.s. boar & chinese synthetic brushes+soaps and shave sticks,because he was putting them to good use.

DE shaving isn't for everyone, i don't try to convert anyone the only humble advice I do give is, give it try if you can, and see if it works for you.

The Parker 94R is a sturdy hefty efficient lady that hold's no prisoners to face stubble, i was BBS after the 3rd pass but carried on with the pick up pass just for the sheer pleasure of the shave...A superb shave, and a very welcoming return of the parker 94R princess,which is now a permanent item again in my humble DE razor collection, and never again to leave my humble shaving arsenal.

A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.


My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.


Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

After a rare DE outing yesterday, I decided that as it was so good I ought to do a repeat to ensure it was no fluke. Today I shifted the Blade to the Progress, as I have a liking for adjustables. Again I set it to a low setting and with a shallower angle than I used previously, had a smooth and comfortable Shave.Really pleased to say yesterday was not a fluke, and the quality of the finished Shave was excellent.
