Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Went with the green theme shave:
Great shave overall. First time using the Durablade 7am Platinum and I have to say it was really good. I decided to do a pass shave with touchups but different than my usual because I went 1) WTG 2) XTG face then ATG chin neck. Very smooth overall except for one weeper on the left side of my neck on the ATG pass., this is not unexpected since I don’t usually go ATG on my neck due to sensitivity. Little alum sting on the neck but not unbearable. Enjoyed the shave and the theme/products. DFS+/BBS- 4.75/5 if I could.

Grabbed a random sample soap from the samples box. Turned out to be zingariman the navigator. Second time I used this sample.. Liked the scent so much I went ahead and ordered thw splash without hesitation..
Great, fresh aquatic scent

Also tried the Wilkinson sword blade for the first time.. Dragged a bit at the beginning but afterwards it was quite sharp and smooth..

• Zingariman Navigator soap and splash
• Henson medium with Wilkinson Sword (made in Germany)
• Razorock synthetic brush

Shave of the Day_17-03-2025

9/10 BBS

Razor - Stainless Combi CC/OC Head
Blade - Suneko
Brush - Unbleached Boar
Soap - 1990's Greek Olive Hotel
Cologne - Red Moscow
Attar - Qadeem Cambodian Oud

After a busy day in the garden I had a lovely relaxing scrape with the stainless thingy whotsit called razor - comfy and close as anything - no drama in sight.

The ancient soap obliged surprisingly well and afforded the renowned Olive Oil face ice-rink and the old Russian frag took me back to my teenage St. Petersburg family travels - heaven indeed.

Happy as Larry

Here's me 8 hours post shave - I can get it closer than this like a depilatory creme - but I can't always be bothered or have the required time - Lol
