Pre shave: Shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor: 1960 Gillette 195 Adjustable (7)
Blade: Personna GEM PDG (26)
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Bluish Violet synthetic
Bowl: Captains choice copper
Soap: The Glasgow soap company Parma Violet
Post shave: Stirling Barbershop aftershave balm

A very nice, light and refreshing shave in the late spring sun and high humidity.

The 195 blitzed through a few days of growth as if it was nothing for 3 very quick and efficient passes.
With the third pass feeling almost performative as there was so little to remove.

The room filled with the great scent of Parma Violet definitely aided in the enjoyment today.
I decided to pair it with barbershop this time instead of Niveas balm as it's in the same sweet and powdery wheelhouse, and it turned out to be the perfect complement to the soap.

Hope your weekend is going well!

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ (Great Shave)
Smoothness: ★★★★★ (BBS Perfection)
Irritation: ★☆☆☆☆ (Zero Burn)

Time of Day: Afternoon 🌤
Blade Uses: 1
Passes: 2

Razor: Leaf Leaf Two Glacier
Blade: Derby Premium
Soap: Martin de Candre Vetiver
Brush: Simpson Polo 10 Sovereign fibre.
Aftershave: Rabanne Million Gold

Notes: It's been 3 days since my last shave and a perfect test for the new Leaf Two Glacier Razor and my new brush and MDC soap.
The brush is first class and the Vetiver soap has a great scent to it.
After a two pass face shave and a single pass head shave I'm smooth as silk.
I am going to wait a few more shaves before giving an opinion but I can tell you that it's a different shave compared to it's predecessor.
