The very first shave ever for the NOS Henckels Friodur, I'm impressed only stropped the razor out of the box and she was shave ready and she delivered a lovely super smooth two pass BBS shave.

Saturday

Just a quick shave today with the DE. The cheap Faulding ‘Shave’ cream worked very well, actually. This is a really cheap cream here; but I’ve always liked it; I may try it more often. Very close to being my favourite scent; it brings back memories of my time in the army. There were two creams available at the Recruit Barracks canteen, this one and Palmolive. I used no aftershave as I wanted to only smell the cream.

I had a massive bowl of porridge for breakfast and a cappuccino and went indoor bouldering with my son again. We now have little bouldering nicknames. I'm 'Grunts' and he's 'The Grim Reacher'. I had an excellent session; we were the only ones there. We did a few of the problems we do as a warm up and then decided to try and climb all the way from one side of the gym to the other. I’m really loving this sport; it’s such a good workout; and every ‘set’ (problem) is done to failure; when you literally fall through lack of strength to hold on. After a little while I had a really good pump in my biceps, shoulders and back.

I got my razor and stuff out to take a photo and started to arrange it when my grandson Bailey asked what I was doing. I told him it was hard to explain. Then I had the idea of taking a photo of him using it. He’s such a bundle of Joy.

another quick combo shave today , not a combo of razors but because there was 2 of us sharing the bowl of cream ..

pre= NONE
brush(s)
1) BATMAN PURE SYNTHETIC
2) PURE BADGER
cream= PRORASO (sandalwood)
razor(s)
1) BATMAN SINGLE EDGE VERY SAFTEY RAZOR
2) GILLETTE SLIM ADJUSTABLE
post= NOTHING
results = i imagine his face was a bit smoother then mine !! maybe i should try his razor next time ...lol
im still in my finding the right blade process , i used a "LORD" today and although it felt good it left alot of hair under my jaw line even after my second pass (ATG) , a third pass got it but in general my other DE blades usually get those spots on the first -second pass ,ill will give these blades a second shot with prep but i think those blades will be added to the last in line pile of DE blades i have going ..lol...

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Semogue SOC 2band
Razor: Revisor
Cream+edt: Penhaligon's Endymion
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean, and very close to uberclean
Getting better with this cream (second run and face lathering is much better than using the scuttle, for me at least).

Wade & Butcher buddelized

excellent razor.
Have a nice weekend, friends and thanks for the amazing posts and pictures.
