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.
