(Face & Head Shave) (Shave Stick week)

Greetings,

After the great shaves that I had using my shave sticks in my previous weeks shave I've carried on using them.

A bracing cold water invigorating face & head shave to start the weekend.

The derby shave stick provided a slick protective protective lather in a short space of time.

Turkish shave sticks may not get top marks for their fragrance, but for practical performance slickness, and post shave feel from these humble shave sticks they are a joy to use.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of The Real Shaving Co SPF15 Anti-Ageing Moisturiser to the face & head.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

+1 to the Derby. I use and recommend the "normal" cream in the tube as well. The performance (and IMHO the clean barbershop scent) is really really high.

Comments
This will be the third shave with my U.K Aristocrat razor and Personna Medical Prep blade. This combination continues to deliver a nice, close, smooth shave. The Cella soap continues to excel. The soap makes a nice, rich lather with enough for a four-pass face and two-pass head shave. Today is the 23rd shave from the block I cut out. It was a perfect shave. Have a great day, folks.
