you lather with your cat ?

Yeah, but can he multi task with his dual purpose cat?!!

Yeah, but can he multi task with his dual purpose cat?!!

Yeah, I almost withdrew the comment thinking how inappropriate it would be to use the cat (or anything) for both toiletries, and a soft shaving brush for the other

If she brings another living cockroach in the middle of the night and tries to feed it to me, she may well end up like that.
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, daddy want to practice str8 shaving.

Same again

Ah thanks for the advice, I'll give that a go next time. I was pinching the brush tip and it didn't go well. Cheers.

Look forward to hearing how you go next time. Cologne Russe is one of my favourite B&M scents: spicy, masculine and old school to my nose.

The Treet gave a decent shave but not stunning like the other day in the Rocnel Elite. If this was the first razor I tried these blades in I would've gone 'Meh'.

[Razor Burn]

Brush: Yaqi 30mm
Head: Leaf Razor
Blade: Polsilver SI (3)
Face: RR Mamba // Karve Brass SB (D plate)
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (2)
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira Shavery Lathering Bowl
Soap: Cella
Post: Allum // Stirling Soap Co. Unscented balm // APR Escentials Restoration Serum // APR Junos EdT sample

Weekend shaves were a mixed bag. Cella + Yaqi + PS Lathering Bowl = consistently great lather. The Bic blade is super sharp so thought it a good idea to pair with super mild Mamba and received a SFS with spots of regrown around the chin within a few hours. There's a reason I hardly use the Mamba as its just too inefficient for my liking

Todays shave was much better as the Karve paired exceptionally with the sharper blade that I managed to nick myself on the check. Finished off with the Serum and some Junos EdT sample which got the thumbs up from the misses

Blade: Polsilver

Another excellent lather from the badger and the wr2 is just amazingly smooth but so efficient, at times this is taken for granted and rewarded with a weeper or two.
