Greetings,
(Face & head Shave.)
A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend....Maiden shave using the recently purchased Omega 10066 boar brush.
I had already gave the brush a five minute soak in tepid water & pre-wash with Dettol anti-bacterial hand soap leaving it to soak for a few minutes to get rid of any nasties, and to remove any few loose hairs repeated the process, to remove the very faint natural piggy fragrance which the Dettol soap removed and finally a rinse with warm & cold water to remove any soap residue...As with most boar/natural hair brushes with regular use it'll be a great brush especially for face /dome-head lathering.
Another wonderful addition to my humble boar brush collection.
For the next month or longer i intend use both my SE & DE razors,+ my Boar brushes, and carry on with a focus run of the mass stock pile of various DE blades which i have accumulated through my past ''impulsive buying urges" and more importantly to start using them up...Starting with the Dorco st300 which paired together with the Merkur 39C wonderfully making a smooth efficient duo.
Due to me having such a vast amount of various Dorco blade's and because they are so in-expensive I'll use them for two shave's regardless if i could possibly get more shaves from them i retire them to the blade bin especially for head shaving which dulls the blade edge much quicker than face shaving.
The Dorco st300 blade are like a lot of DE blades i have used they are not the most aggressive blade, but i find them very smooth and forgiving and pair together with all my DE razors.
Another close comfortable, acceptable face & head shave with errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a few small few small squirts of Denim Original EdT to the pulse points.
My face and precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

Fruit & Veg Week - The Fruitiest of Shaves!
What’s more fruity than Fruit Punch! And the king of all the fruit punches is the venerable Hawaiian Punch!
So the centerpiece of this shave is PAA’s Aloha Smackdown set. Get the double entendre? This has been in my top three soaps since it was released years ago in the original Crown King forumula. But this CK-6 version is the bomb! Literally a fruit bomb. I bought my first tub of Aloha Smackdown directly from Douglas Smythe on a boat sailing around the Statue of Liberty. True story. Like my last shave, if you are a fan of subtle scents, or lean towards the more manly musky cologne style scents, or barbershop scents, just walk away now. This is a massive explosion of seriously strong Hawaiian Punch. The Star Jelly Aloha Smackdown is divine. Super rich scent, with a soothing gel base that is a huge improvement over the old Star Jelly that came in the tube.
The Wolf Whiskers “Fruit Stripe” Brush is a one-off custom with a 26 mm Tuxedo knot. Peter Wolf made this brush as part of the raffle prizes at an Italian Feast down in South Jersey just for shaving crazies. I was the lucky guy that got this brush. But everyone there was a winner, because there were enough generous door prize donations to go around twice. And the food was awesome. Great brush though! Really soft, great backbone, and even has a little bit of scrub.
And even though the Tradere OC is not fruity in any way, I loaded it up with a new style Platinum that comes is this delicious blueberry box!
Fantastic shave today! Stay smooth!
