Greetings,


A relaxing sunday morning shave.


It's been a while since i last used my Parker 94R ,the hefty weight of this small very effective indian made princess adds to it's wonderful deceiving efficiency which doesn't hold no prisoners when mowing through my face stubble.

I could have easily just done two passes + pick ups, but i carried on for the sheer pleasure of the shave & to use up the wonderful super-lather.

Another enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men Creme.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.:cool:

I missed my shave yesterday, so today's was especially gratifying. I had so much leftover lather from the GD in the pass-around that I followed another SOTDer's lead and saved it for another shave. It ended up being not quite as much as I like, but certainly enough, although the scent was almost gone. It reformed into a really nice lather, though. The blade felt a little tuggy; not sure if it was done or just the two days' growth, but the shave still ended up being really nice and close. Ahhh, feels great to get that stubble off.
