Really impressed with the Piccolo OC / Astra SP the shaves just keep getting better. BBS single pass with no irritation riding the comb and blade instead of cap which was a bit aggressive
The Body Shop - Maca Root & Aloe whipped up a storm.

When I moved house for Mum there was an old pot that she said 'No, I'm not taking it', so I did. I think it was worth it. The Hippeastrums went crazy this year. I sent her a photo and she asked what I'd done to get them growing so well. I advised neglect and a bit of water ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Achieved a personal best this morning in regards to blade use, first time I have used a blade more than 5 times without ditching. Shave was still comfortable and smooth with excellent results, interesting to see how far this blade goes.

Pre-shave: Shower & The Body Shop - Maca Root & Aloe Calming Icy Shaving Gel
Brush: Semogue - Excelsior 1460 Boar
Soap: The Body Shop - Maca Root & Aloe Softening Shaving Cream
Razor: Fatip Piccolo SE - Classic Open Comb
Blade: Astra SP (6)
Post-shave: The Body Shop - Maca Root & Aloe Post-Shave Water-Gel For Men

After a good innings the blade became a bit "scritchy" on day 6.
Didn't give the mentholated cactus (Maca Root & Aloe) enough credit first time around. This stuff lathers up a storm and when combined with the pre-shave gel its as smooth and slick as can be.
The razor just glides. The silky smooth slickness that allows for a single pass and touch ups without applying more soap if you are so inclined
Moving on to the Piccolo's Gentle Closed Comb next. Keeping with Astra SP and ordered a hundred from B&B for the stockpile :)
