>> Mistura May Madness <<

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Mistura Butterscotch handle
Soap: Declaration Grooming ~ Nightman
Razor: Merkur Progress
Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword China (1)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Majestät AS.

Damn. This chinese made Gillette Wilkinson Sword impressed my again.
Sharp yet amazingly smooth. Just a great feeling and lasting blade (on my face)!

I did an excellent job in my Progress today. After having started with setting 4 I overclocked the Progress to setting 6 in the atg pass - as a reference she zeroes perfectly on the "+". Btw, I noticed that the top cap doesn't start wiggling until setting 9.5/9.75. But this remains a story to be told on another day... )

Anyway, I ended up without nicks and irritation. Instead, my skin feels calm with an ultra close "oil on glas" like finish.

Stunning combo with this gear today!

Have some great shaves, y'all!

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

last outing of the Astra Superior Stainless which has been consistently Superb with every shave throughout the week...I feel as though i could easily get another 2-3 shaves from this blade, but I'll put it into retirement as i have a vast amount of other DE blades to contend with.

The FaTip Grande/Astra SS combo was such a wonderful match....Very smooth and efficient...Two passes left my face feeling smooth, but i carried on with the third & pick ups pass for the sheer pleasure, and to use up the wonderful slick lather the Razorock "WTP? !"soap provided me.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of Osmanli ~ Lemon Eau De Cologne.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
