Today I thought I would add a bit of old-timey flavour to my shave with a recently acquired Gillette razor added to a new boar brush. I haven’t used a boar brush in 35-40 years. I wasn’t too impressed with boar brush the last time I used one. It was probably my impatience with the breaking in time. A friend was always telling me I should give them another try. He said you can’t truly judge a boar brush for at least three months. He passed a few years back so recently when I was on a brush buying spree I thought I would give the boars another try. It reminded me of a throw back in time as I shaved today. Very pleasing shave.

Happy Shaves to all.

Greetings,

Face & Head Shave.

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...I've carried on for another week with the Snmirn Adjustable to get more accustomed to it...I can't recall the last time i added the Personna Comfort Coated Lab Blue to my blade rotation which paired together wonderfully with the Snmirn making a wonderfully smooth efficient duo.

Taking the razor to it's (max) no: 8 setting for the atg+pick up passes there is a noticeable difference but still felt comfortable with no feeling of blade chatter...The 4-8 settings work well for me feeling comfortable and efficient enough. The lower settings 1-3 on the razor should work for a every day shaving or anyone with a lighter stubble.

A enjoyable close comfortable near BBS face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face and precious swede are both feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

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