Great scent, so-so shave. Went juuust too far with the lather water. And tried a new direction on my neck. Decent amount of feedback for my troubles.

Really like the brush handle and I'll probably grab the badger version at some point.

Lather : Arko Fresh Shaving Cream.



Blade: Centwin SP. (4)

Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade peppermint, lavender eucalyptus, +Tea Tree , lemon essential Oils + menthol crystals Witch Hazel Mixture./ Gummy ~ Traditional Turkish Tobacco Cologne.

Creightons ~ Sensitive PSB.


Greetings,


The Ball End Gillette Tech / Centwin SP paired together superbly resulting in another pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

The Centwin SP blade has excelled itself throughout the week feeling smooth and efficient with each shave...I feel as though i could quite easily get another 1-2 shaves from this blade, but i will retire it, as i still have enough blades to reaquaint myself with that i've only used on odd occasions.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.
