(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend....I really like the Ach Brito Mogno Shaving Soap bar creates a nice creamy slick protective lather in a short space of time. The residual slickness is excellent leaving a superb post-shave making my mature skin feel soft & moisturized after the shave.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.😉

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.😎

If you haven't tried Master Prometheus , do it. Fantastic soap base. Tolerates/incorporates water very well. Blade is excellent too. The brush has one of the best lather releases of all times. Well done king Yaqi.

I've been trying to find a way to describe this shave without people thinking, it's a mild razor.

There is no blade feel, super smooth and very efficient.

1st pass and not much left.
2nd pass and BBS.

Certainly, one of the best performing razors, I've had in a while.

Saturday 30th May...

Having been kindly PIFed a shavette by @purerockfury I have started learning how to shave with one. Going to take this very slowly over a long period so today was just right hand / right cheek which will be the same for a while. It's very different than holding a DE and the feel on the face is different too without a top cap or guard and even just experiencing the sensation of the growth being cut.

Thankfully, no issues to report on day one. I have found out the the arm of my glasses gets in the way and slickness helps a lot hence the soap. There was a Nacet #2 in the Tech and a Shark #1 half blade in the shavette.

Enjoy your day and the sun if you live somewhere where there is some...👍
