Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend. It's been a while since I last used the inexpensive Wilkinson Sword Classic razor which for me is always a pleasure to shave with.

The two-piece design of the razor makes it easy to load the blade, covering the full blade with no exposure of the blade edges a brilliant safety feature especially for shaving sensitive areas without the risk of getting cuts & nicks from the blade ends which was a great bonus for me when I first introduced myself to the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving.

Another Great razor & blade duo. The Feather gives the mild WS classic a biting efficient edge mowing through my face & head stubble using short strokes with effortless ease.
The Proraso Sandalwood Soap isn't exactly a Summer scent but I use shaving soaps & creams what ever the season. Like all the other Proraso Soaps and creams it provides me with a slick protective lather for the shave leaving a equally good post shave feel.

Another close comfortable efficient combined face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

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

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

Comments	I am going with a different razor and blade today. Net in my rotation is my Merkur 37c slant razor. I put a Wizamet blade Iin the razor, which was a big improvement over yesterday’s shave: close but smooth. Today’s brush is the 2023 B&B Contributors brush by Paladin. I bought two different brushes and like all Paladin brushes they excel. The brush did a better job of loading soap in contrast to yesterday’s synthetic brush. This was the 61st use of the Haslinger soap. I think the soap will be gone next week. Have a good day, folks.
