Greetings,

Head Shave...After my weekly 'no guard' buzzcut with my Wahl hair clippers,it was time for my monthly head shave, first time i'd used the ming shi 2000s for a head shave, so i wasn't sure what the result was going to be..the verdict, absolutely brilliant..This razor alone has improved my shaving confidence and technique multitude...After the+pick up pass,i was 'Kojak smooth', i never thought in a million years i would use such an efficient razor for a head shave, all my good preparation,& practicing my technique has gave me the confidence to do so.A very comfortable no-irritation/error-free silky smooth head shave.


Face Shave...A new shave set up to start the weekend...I haven't used the russian made Ladas S.S. blade for a while due to reaching for my regular favourites today it matched up with the Ming Shi 2000s superbly resulting in a wonderful 3 pass + pick silky smooth shave for both my head & face, with no errors to report.

Out of the three proraso soaps i have in my den the white soap bowl is the least that i have used, not because i prefer the green & red, purely because in the past i've always went for the other ones.Today it provided me with a good protective lather, the scent is a love/hate personal preference, i actually don't mind the scent but, the scent of ashaving soap or cream isn't a big issue for me, what's more important is it's shaving performance all of the proraso soaps & creams i've tried have been excellent, the white today, was no exception.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of aloe vera gel.

Both my head & face are feeling silky smooth, & smelling devine.

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Rooney 1/3 Super Silvertip Badger
Soap: Stirling Ozark Mountain
Razor: Pils 101NE
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna P74 Tungsten Steel (5)
Post: CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Penhaligon's Sartorial (decant)

One of my favourite soaps - I couldn't wish for a fresher outdoors scent. Also, like all Stirling soaps, it is a great performer.
The Rooney brush is intriguing - it is so soft and splays so easily that I found myself wondering if I had loaded enough soap prior to lathering. For a second time it made a fool of me, producing seemingly endless amounts of quality lather.
Three passes for a very comfortable DFS with a lovely post shave feel.
