Fantastic shave with the leaf although I find it a bit fiddly on small surfaces like the face. It takes a bit of work to get to some areas.
Having said this, is ultra smooth a very efficient. The alum block was totally silent for an almos BBS shave.
Today I was also testing some new designs for next season’s line up.

Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend..


The last few months i've infrequently yet not intentionally used my shaving creams so this week will be a shaving cream week...Starting the weekend off with the osp grapefruit & menthol cream,which is great wake up call to my face sensors first thing on the morning..A excellent shaving cream,which only a small amount is required to get a great lather in no time with a very nice citrusy scent and plenty of menthol goodness,and a excellent post shave feel to the face.

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups near bbs silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to 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.:cool:
