Pre shave: Hot shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor: 1960 Gillette 195 Adjustable (7)
Blade: Feather (4)
Bowl: Arran Stone
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Bluish Violet synthetic
Soap: Stilring Baker Street
Post shave: Nivea men sensitive post shave balm

A fantastically smooth shave today with this combo.

Baker Street is a great classic scent, fresh and complex.
The kind of scent you might think of if you weren't au fait with them.
And the performance is equally as good as any offering from Stirling.

Finished off with the standard Nivea balm this time.
I much prefer the cool version but this one still does the job nicely.

Happy shaves and a happy Thursday!

Forum GOD!
Is this an aggressive razor? I see it around quite a bit the head.

Kind regards
Mark
Hi Mark - the Mellon in Stainless isn't overly aggressive. People rate it as more aggressive compared to the zamak version which is a bit unfair as the design is different. Provided you choose a blade that suits your shaving style, it will reward you with excellent, smooth shaves. It is a daily razor for me, alongside the Mellon Titanium - both are excellent heads.
