(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend...The star of my shave this morning was the OSP Neroli Scented Shaving Soap, each time a use this soap it never fails to provide me with a excellent lather. This morning was no exception.

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

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

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

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
 
To my knowledge they are Amazons own brand. They are Like most un-branded high street-chemist/Supermarket blade that I have bought. For me they feel the same as Personna Comfort coat/platinum with a slightly sharper edge. Well worth a try, I like them.
In Russia, Auchan stores sold blades in the same packaging under the Auchan stores' own trademark "Cosmia". But there were Dorco blades inside. These blades are no longer on sale.
 
Happy new year everyone! 🎆

Here is a link showing the Amazon Solimo blades that I have.


As you can see they are manufactured un-branded to be printed with the who ever the seller maybe for retail. To my knowledge these are not manufactured by Dorco. I actually like the Dorco Prime Platinum.

This morning is a bit warmer than it was yesterday. This is the third shave with the Wolfman/PolSilver combination. I managed to nick my chin on my first pass. I could feel the blade and knew it would be a small nick. I applied pressure and the remaining passes were without any evidence of the nick. Nevertheless, the shave was BBS. Today’s brush is the 2023 B&B Contributor’s Brush by Paladin. I easily loaded the soap on the brush and the lather, once again, was great. I deducted one point because of the nick. Have a great day, folks.
