Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend...second outing with the Eco Warrior shaving bar using it like a shave stick again which provided a adequate slick protective lather for the full shave with no dissipating or drying out issues in-between each pass leaving a great post shave feel to my skin.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS 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 divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Really enjoyed this soap. Love the scent and lather performance is good too.
Shave with the razor paired with this blade was excellent. Not many blades can pair well with the razor. The Tatra is one of my top blade! Sharpish yet smooth and comfortable for 3passes without issues. Mostly bbs to dfs. With excellent post & aftershave...

First time with the Fatip Gentile. Single pass WTG. It is a Fatip and it is efficient. I need more shaves with it to give a verdict, but as a first impression I think the OC version felt smoother

Today I used the following:

Prep: Warm shower and I cleansed my face with dove cremesoap
Pre shave: Proraso green
Razor: Wilkinson classic metallic butterfly
Blade: Wilkinson sword
Brush: Wilkinson pure bristle 19''
Soap: Proraso red soap
After shave: Proraso Green lotion
Hydration: Nivea for men

Overall I had a comfortable shave even though I had just shaved yesterday. Only bad moment when I lost my concentration and cut my self pretty deep on my chin. I guess i'm still a rookie and kinda clumsy. I did two passes, one WTG and one XTG during which I got cut. It's really easy to get cut when you had been applying pressure for years with a cartridge razor. My muscle memory is still developing I guess!

The soap is ok but as the days pass I realize the difference with other better ones. It does the job though. Same goes for the razor. It does the job but it's very mild. Sometimes I don't even realize I am shaving. I enjoyed the small knot brush. It's still not broken in but I enjoy it. Very easy to load with lather. The wilkinson blade was brand new and gave an effortless shave. It's mild but with a slight "bite". The aftershave is ok. It helped with the bleeding. The Nivea moisturizing creme gives me a soft and hydrated face.

That's about it for today. I will leave some days before I shave again cause I want the cuts to heal and some small pimples to go away before I put a razor on my face again!

Greetings!
