Thursday 3rd February

Cream • Palmolive Classic Cream
Brush • Razorock 400 Plissoft Noir
Razor • Razorock Hawk V3
Blade • Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink (6)
Post • Nivea 2 Phase Aftershave

While Palmolive shave cream does the job, I much prefer Palmolive Stick, it's way sicker and makes much more lather. Same for the scent. To me, the cream smells like old men!
Kai Pink blade is holding up well six shaves in, and seems smoother than the previous use.

SotD - 04/02/22.

Went for a very subtle shave this morning.
It was truly stunning.

The Blackland Sabre is one of my favourite scrapers & the A&E London set is right up there also.
The shave was super smooth & my face is testament to that

Have a good day all & a better weekend

• Razorock Gamechanger 0.84-P
• Rapira Swedish Supersteel (3)
• Cella red (almond)
• Omega 10049
• Balea Q10 ASB
• Jil Sander Sun

Quite the opposite of the near scentless soap of the last few days.....

Feb. 4, 2022

• Prep: Proraso Green preshave cream
• Brush: Declaration grooming B11 28mm Snowblivion
• Razor: Rex Ambassador
• Blade: Dorco Titan (1)
• Lather: Declaration Grooming - Chaotic Neutral - Soap
• Post Shave: Declaration Grooming - Chaotic Neutral - Aftershave

Hmmm can you tell I'm trying to kill off the tub of chaotic neutral? No? Well, yes I am! Great scent on that one although admittedly the aftershave scent is better than the murkiness version that's in the soap.

I guess I'm about half way through it - the 28mm knot is definitely making a good job there. 3 passes for DFS... not quite BBS but to be honest I don't think I've ever achieved BBS with Ambassador.... It is a great razor but something just isn't there about it for me - I definitely do prefer Blackbird, nodachi or Karve CB plates D and F to the rex. Maybe it's the bulkiness of the head, or handle being on a shorter side? (at least that's what it feels like)... maybe.

Enjoy your shaves Ladies and Gents.

Alpha G4 Syn 28mm
Vitos Super Red
Hiram Commander 2dot
Schick Proline ( 1 )
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

Another Heavyweight today, which is very well balanced so that the weight is not a hindrance to its manoeuvrability. A really excellent Shave, with an ultra close all round finish.

4 February 2022

Preshave: Hot water rinse
Brush: Proraso Boar
Razor: Gillette Slim [H3] (7)
Blade: Gillette Nacet (5)
Soap/Cream: Geo F Trumper's Limes
Aftershave Balm: Nivea Replenishing
Aftershave: Old Spice Original

Although I'm no novice I'm struggling to get consistent lather from the Trumper's soap. So far both bowl and face lathering produce a lather which thins throughout the shave and is lacking on all fronts. Despite the BBS+, 9.5/10 finish it was a disappointing experience, with some residual irritation, and I don't detect a sense of lime scent. Personal experiences differ but frankly, based on my experience to date, if I'd tried a sample of this soap first I wouldn't have bought the full cake.

I hope your results are better.

Regards,
Chris

04/02/22
Pre - Shower
Brush - Semogue Torga C5 Boar
Soap - Signature Soap Leodis
Razor - Kasho Kai Captain CAP-R7 Folder
Blade - Personna Injector (6)
Post - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm - Tonyschin's Cedarwood and Patchouli Argan Oil and Balm
A/S - Williams Aqua Velva Musk

I have to say i have really enjoyed the little Injector blade trial, it really seemed to make a kitten of the Kai rather than the fighting tiger it usually is.
I will say ensure the blade is not sticking out at the toe as this will scratch and ensure it is nice and straight in the head.
I completed my 2 pass routine of WTG and then a mixed pass, after a rinse and check i completed a touch-up/buffing pass leaving me clean, smooth and comfortable. No indication from the splash and skin feeling soft and supple.
Spot on that!
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

SOTD: 04/02/2022

Razor: Hone 15a
Blade: Pol Silver Super Iridium, 1st use
Brush: ZENITH Unbleached bristle chrome handle 2000 C XSE
Bowl: Captains Choice Copper Lather Bowl Standard Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Tabac Original Puck
Aftershave: William Hunt Oud De Parfum Aftershave
Balm: Baxter Of California Aftershave Balm
Additional Care: Osma Laboratoires Alum Block

The sharper blades really do work well in the Hone 15a but it’s time may have come to move on as the steel versions arrival draws near. A lovely shave and as ever the Tabac produced an amazing lather, my little piggie Zenith boar was brilliant.
Have a great day everyone.
