Shugate 4/8 barber straight razor
Wilkinson TTO razor
Shark super stainless blade
Leponix synthetic brush
William Garvey shaving soap
Up & Up witch hazel
Gillette aftershave gel
Bod Man Black cologne

Hot shower prep with Old Spice Fiji bodywash

I took the Shugate through a first pass shaving test. It did pretty well on my cheeks and neck but it started to drag. I finished the first pass with the DE. The second pass was all DE. I calmed things with the witch hazel and followed with the Gillette. Bod Man Black added some sophistication.

Greetings,

Sunday morning shave.

The Palmolive classic shave cream is such a wonderful performer which creates a rich protective lather with only a small amount giving a great lasting classic fragrance throughout the shave, leaving a good post shave feel.

Another wonderful effortless 2 pass +pickups close comfortable shave with the Chinese R41 Clone Razor & Dorco Prime Platinum duo. to finish my shaving month of wonderfully.

Last Sunday morning face shave of May 2026....The reacquaintance to myself over the last few months using a DE razor for my head shaves after my extended long run of using Cartridge razors has been wonderful.

A close comfortable shave to finish the month off superbly.

In my June focus for my face shaves I will be using my Parker 87R & 94R DE razors paired together with the Treet Platinum DE blades. For my head/dome Shaves, I will be using the Indian Gillette Guard Cartridge Razor.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton-Lloyd Essentials No10 Bergamot, Neroli & Musk EdP to the pulse points.

My face is feeling smooth and smelling divine.😉

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