Great shave, Akhi! Nice setup. Polo Green used to be my goto cologne. It smells terrific!

I was looking at that razor and thinking it was the Karve CB handle, not Gillette. I hope you had an awesome shave.

Thank you Akhi! This morning’s shave is my entry for best shave of the week. The Polo green was an excellent finish!

Wednesday morning:
Cool shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 5
Proraso Green SC
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Proraso Green AS Splash
Again I dinged myself on my moustache area but thank goodness it wasn’t anything at all like what happened on Sunday - I guess it was a case of overconfidence or carelessness. I must say that I wound up really BBS after three passes - another awesome shave!
Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!

Great shave, Akhi! It just goes to show that no matter how long we've been shaving with a DE ,we need to be careful.

Always! At the end of the day we’re scraping a sharp piece of metal on our skin. That’s a big reason why I opt for milder razors. I like to minimize the frequency and damage caused by pilot error.Great shave, Akhi! It just goes to show that no matter how long we've been shaving with a DE ,we need to be careful.
