Thursday's shave :)

Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Coal-tar soap and Village Barbour Shave Oil.
Razor - ATT SE1 (Bamboo handle).
Blade - Kai Captain Titan Mild (Pink) (day 3).
Soap - Executive Shaving Natural Shaving Cream.
Brush - Simpsons Duke 2.
Post shave - Myrsol "Plastic" After Shave, followed by Bluebeards Revenge Post Shave Balm.

The ATT SE1 is working well with the Kai (Mild) blade (I appreciate that YMMV). I am also finding that the Plastic shave splash followed by Bluebeards post shave balm is an excellent finishing combination - leaving my skin soft and comfortable. I like that I don't get a tight feeling on the skin when shaving the the Kai, compared with the Feather Professional.

Great shave today, went for a third pass at the end with no problems.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Chris

Some soap & fragrance combos just bloody work!
 
Proraso red cream,
Big Bruce synthetic,
Gillette New RFB.
Voskhod blade 2nd. Use.

I bought this old Gillette new RFB after a lot or recommendations, how outstanding the shaves are.
First time I used it was about a month ago with a feather and I have to say that I did like it, but found it a bit on the aggressive side for me. It cut me in a few places and I got a bit of irritation.
The feathers and polsilver Ir. are my go to blades in most of my DE's.
Today I used a Voskhod on it and it gave me a BBs in two & corrections. No irritation or cuts, unlike the first time. I do like it and will put it on the rotation, but I have to say it doesn't perform as smoothly as my Rockwell 6S.
 
Greetings All,

Thursday shave.

Two days' growth and warm shave

Preparation – face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)
Pre: Prorosa white pre-share
Soap: Phoenix & Beau - Citra Royale (thanks to @Aaron1983)
Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (2nd use)
Brush:Molten Brown Shaving Brush

Post Shave: Cold water rinse, Alum, then re-rinse followed by Proraso aftershave lotion (green) and Proraso post shave cream (white)

New soap today thanks to @Aaron1983 – P&B Citra Royale. Very nice shave – 3 passes and no need for touch up. However, had a few weepers but I don't think (that's) was the blade (only 2nd use) but I think I under watered the soap (Nothing Alum could not fix). Will try the blade again and the soap. Forgot to mention – very nice scent soap if you like citrus.

Thirsty soap mate. Try a bit extra water next time and you will love P&B soap.
