I don't know about these Shanghai shitty blades, too many Shanghai blades doesn't agree with my face and stubble.

Also, I don't know how many more new Shanghai blades have added to the market, I can't be bothered to search the World Wide Web again.

Pre-shave:- Hot shower & Pears soap
Brush:- Grizzly Bay w/ Fanchurian knot
Soap: PAA - Doppleganger (Yellow)
Razor: Blacklands - Blackbird
Blade: Gillette - 7 O’clock (yellow)
Post: Lucky Tiger - Tonic
Moisturiser: Neutrogena - Hydroboost

Was last nights shave….

Really enjoying the smell of the doppleganger yellow. First time in a long time but I actually went upstairs to sniff the soap a few times over the weekend and was excited about shave time on Sunday.

Double washed with Pears pre shave. Not sure I noticed the difference between the single and double wash. Again - really enjoying the Pears scent.

I handled the Blackbird sooooo delicately and managed to knick myself a few times. My head isn’t as smooth as it used to be - & I think the blackbird just goes hunting for the bumps. I think it’s time I pass this along to someone that might be able to get more frequent use out of it.

Anyway another week in a hotel - so another Razorock shave :) been eyeing up some

If the baby (3.5oz) Stirling Soaps all weekend. Just seems a shame to order it and not get some of big tubs as well. But what to get lol

The Daily Shave.

Continuing Shark Week theme

The Jaws Platinum on its 2nd use. Very smooth effortless shave.

My first run with my new to me Vintage Gillette Super Adjustable, I set this on (5). Very smooth efficient setting. Plenty of comfortable blade feel.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Gillette Super Adjustable, a great addition to the shave den.

I really enjoy Proraso creams, very easy to produce a soft creamy lather with plenty of slick protection. The Blue has a strong spice scent with notes of amber & musk. I also get a hint of menthol.

The Morning Shave.

The Gillette Minora blade comes in a plain wrapper from the main box of 5. Very smooth shave, quite a sharp blade not too sharp. Will be interesting to see this in my Gillette Adjustables.

The Wilkinson Sword is a UK budget soap, I like the clean citrus scent, good protection from a creamy lather.
The Omega Boar is becoming my favorite brush.
