Greetings,
A eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...This week will be a indian made razor & blade duo week.
It's been a while since i last used my Parker 99R .The Parker 99R along with the 22R where the first parker razors that i purchased not long after i'd ventured into the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving which gave me the 'Shaving Bug' purely because they looked excellent and had great reviews, after that i developed a fondness for them...Four years on, i now have a collection of 10 Parker razors in my shaving den, four of which were past on to me by workmates who fell out of love with them. 'All the better for me'.
When i bought my parker 55sl semi-slant, in 2019 the first blade that i matched it up with was the indian gillette 7'0 clock Super Platinum which i've only used a few times since, i personally find them a smooth sharp and very efficient and the added bonus,for me is they are well suited to my mature 'rhino skin type' and haven't had any intermittent quality problems with them either,each blade i've used so far have been excellent. 'As always, opinions & reviews are very subjective'.YMMV.
A enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.
My face is feeling super smooth and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
