Brush: Shavemac 20/46 Silvertip 2-Band
Soap: Phoenix Scentsless
Razor: Gillette Hybrid Tech GT
Blade: RK Stainless (2)
ASL: Chocolate Orange [home brew]

An OK shave.
The second round with the RK blade wasn't so good.
I'll load up with one of my benchmark Personna Red blades next shave to check it's not me (that's only just OK). :letterk1:


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:

This soap has a wonderful tobacco cigarish scent but the lather is just acceptable...
Today's shave with this razor after the kanayama leather is just impeccably smooth and crisp. 3passes for a mostly ccs to dfs finish. Some irritation on the neck from trying too hard...😅 The aftershaves were good...

A relaxing first day & Sunday of the month Shave.

The Merkur 39c slant is such a wonderful solidly built smooth non-efficient razor and like it's smaller handled sibling each time i have put it in my razor rotation i have had consistently good smooth shaves with it, today was no exception it paired up with the Perma-Sharp wonderfully making a smooth efficient razor & blade duo.

The scottish fine shave soap, yet again provided me with a wonderful lather with a matching post shave feel.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Blue Stratos EdT to the chest & pulse points.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay Safe, and enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.
