What an excellent Sunday shave. Two passes with the Kitana and I’m R41 smooth, and so easily. This razor is remarkably good, and remarkably good value… as is the rest of the kit used today, top draw products, all of them.
 
Sunday morning 23/05 shave
Pre shave : PAA cube
Brush: alpha outlaw
Razor: Karve D plate
Razor blade : permasharp 1st use
Soap : St Martin's signal
Splash : st martins land
Post : st martins land star jelly
Alum block

Hope everyone has had a good weekend decided to use St Martin's signal soap this morning about a weeks worth of growth and put a fresh permasharp in the karve really liking the blade when paired with the D plate also the scent on the soap is really good all in a great shave

Thanks for your support. Your coordination influenced me to buy the Yaqi Dandilion for photos. It’s a very easy brush to lather with too.

Thanks Brian. I never thought of myself as an influencer :ROFLMAO:, but, the combination of the Dandelion brush and any one of your Signature soaps is really hard to beat for quality lather, at any price.

Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
Speick Shaving Stick (Grated)
Semogue SOC Butterscotch (Boar)
Yaqi AC V1 w/Muhle Rocca R95 Handle
Schick Proline P30 (4)
Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne

Concluding a week with classic shaving sticks: Derby, Arko, Wilkinson Sword, LEA, Vie Long but subbed out the scheduled use of Palmolive for a TDS soap that I was keen to try ...

The Schick is finally starting to feel like a graceful shaver - it's now smoothed out (on the 4th shave) yet there is a dip in sharpness and I fear that's the watershed. So far I've tried the Feather Professional, the Feather ProGuard, Kai Captain Titan Mild (Pink) and the Schick ProLine. I think I'm a Feather fellow.

Enjoy your Sunday evening, gents! I'm enjoying mine in a fog of citrus as I crack open a nicely chilled bottle of Citra IPA before dinner. Cheers!

Just had the perfect shave with my Koraat it’s such a nice shaver..the Zingari man no1 was very enjoyable makes a lovely slick almost dripping lather just the way I like it with the straights and both the post shave splash and balm are very nourishing ! Feeling super smooth and refreshed can’t beat that feeling...
