The Morning Shave.
Another great opportunity to try different blades from a recent PIF.
I used the same 7am Blade today, with 48hr growth.
My first shave was very pleasant however I did get 6-7 weepers.
7am Plus The blade comes double wrapped, a plain wrapper inside the main envelope wrap of each blade.
I enjoyed the 7am Plus blade, very sharp, very comfortable. I had 2 weepers (Head & face shave)
The Vulfix Pure Badger is a great brush, very soft.
Proraso Red – Sandalwood. Great scent easy to get a creamy lather.
Absolutely love the scent of Brut, a great traditional aftershave.
For myself, the 7am Platinum blade wouldn’t be a daily shaver, more like a Feather bade. When I miss a daily shave and have 48hr bristle growth.
YMMV – what are your experiences?
