[Ghostbuster]

Pre shave: Hot shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor: 1966 Gillette Slim Adjustable (7)
Blade: Persona GEM PDG (2)
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Bluish Violet synthetic
Bowl: Captains choice copper
Soap: Glasgow soap company Parma Violet
Post shave: Nivea men sensitive post shave balm


A superb Slim Sunday shave, this evening.
Sun shining through the window and a room filled with the scent of parma violet, whipped up to a beautifully slick lather.

The PDG blade continues to perform very well, this time in the slim on my usual setting.
As before, very sharp, extremely efficient but very smooth.

3 effortless passes with feather like performance.
Cutting through 2 days of growth on par with the regrowth I'm used to from my usual blade.

Finished off with Niveas standard sensitive balm.

Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great week ahead!
