Greetings,

An invigorating early morning cold water shave to finishing my shaving week off superbly.

The Vie-Long Shave Stick provided a slick protective lather for the full shave without re-apply it to my face. The performance & post shave feel from this shave stick is absolutely superb.

A very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Aloe Vera Body Lotion.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine. 😉

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. 😎

The 7O'Clock felt really sharp this morning in the Blackbird and not as smooth as my favoured Med prep.
Gladly i had a wonderful thick, slick and cushioning lather from the Signature soap and Alpha brush.
2 passes have left me with a nice BBS finish.
I used the Barts lime balm and lotion and a good splash of the matching Wicstun splash to finish.
My face gave some indication on the high cheeks, however, that could be from my walks to the pool and back then a dog walk on this bright, brisk morning.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Preshave - Proraso
Soap - Dettol Shaving Cream
Razor - CJB (Feather AC Clone Shavettes) & Merkur Futur
Blade - Feather Professional AC & Voskhod DE
Brush - Yaqi Synthetic
Aftershave - Cien (Lidl) Aqua Aftershave & Cien (Lidl) Aftershave Balm

So first time trying out the Dettol shaving cream, performance is really good for me,
It actually smells like the proper stuff, Dettol! Lol

Anyways fancied using both shavettes style AC and a few razor, did most the headshave with the AC

these AC shavettes are very good,
not sure if it's just me but it feels like less of a chance of cutting myself then with a de shavette, saying that I did get a nick or two lool

Thought I'd give the voskhods another try as last time I used them in the medium Henson I really didn't like them but they performed so much better, I think I remember reading about QC issues so maybe last blade wasn't good? Not sure..

first time using the merkur futur and I really like it, worked perfect for cleaning up whatever was left from the shavette

A very nice smooth shave with no issues
Been seeing your posts recently on SOTD thread and you seem to enjoy shavettes, is that what you mostly use? Are you a head or face shaver or both? Lol
