Since i started DE shaving in 2016, i've aquired quite a few DE razors to my now growing shaving den, my Merkur 37C which i bought last month on equal par with my Fatip Grande are both becoming my favourite razors, maybe it's because i'm getting better at my technique & my skin is getting use to DE shaving, but today's shave was sublime, a 3 pass +pick ups silky smooth shave with no irritation or errors to report.
The 4711 A/S complemented the shave excellently. A wonderful shave to start the weekend off very nicely.Enjoy your day,gentlemen.

Greetings

Saturday 18th February 2017
Prep: Shower
Razor: Schick Adjustable
Blade: Personna Coated
Brush: Thater 2 Band
Soap: Arko Stick Grated
Aftershave: Astral Cream (soft)
EDP: Aramis Calligraphy Rose

A really nice shave, I like these bog standard Personna blades I know they are somewhat out of 'vogue' but I find they are plenty sharp enough, not so sharp that they are likely to make your face sore and after three passes the result is every bit as good (for me) then with any of the NOS blades that I own and have tried over many years. I also find them more comfortable and more forgiving and of course they are readily available.

Regards
Dick.

Saturday 18 Feb

Pre-shave - Hot shower
Pre-shave - Proraso Green
Soap - Proraso Green
Razor - Merkur 25C
Blade - Feather (1)
Post-shave - La Toja

This is the fourth time the Merkur 25c has been used and it is the fourth blade (Personna, Polsilver SI, and Voskhod used previously). I had been disappointed with the 25c but today with a feather, it was fan-flippin-tastic. The combination for me was sublime and one of my best ever shaves.

Saturday morning.

Razorock 24mm synth.
Niazi Solingen 1908.
P&b Spitfire.
Alum.
Fine L'orange Noir.
Argan oil.

Fantastic shave following a hot shower. Im very nearly almost smooth. I'm getting there but a little way to go. Feeling lovely and smelling great. Happy weekend all.

Edit: the razorock is so much nicer than the body shop synth - I think that it will be hung out to dry...

ATT SE1 Atlas
Feather Pro (7)
Semogue o c 2 band badger
Wickhams 1912 cashmere
Thayers WH, Irisch moos ASB
Razorock xXx A/S

Another terrific shave with the SE1, my new brush performed well conjuring up a nice lather from the 1912 .

My firs soap out of the hat for today's shave was the P & B star noir, but it now seems to resemble the putty I have in my garage.

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND FELLAS

Sat 18th feb

Omega 11126 boar
Blues Soap
PAL Injecto-Matic
Schick NOS [ 8-Sweden ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tabac A/S Lotion

Was quite obvious from the outset of the Shave, that the blade was past its best. The Injecto-Matic is normally aggressive but any smoothness had vanished altogether, so was quite a tuggy shave. Having said that, I persevered to the end, and the result Shave finish was surprisingly good.

Nice to reflect on the fact that this Razor is over 50 years old, and I am the first user having got it boxed and unused.
When loaded with a fresh blade it is a great razor, which I have used a Travel razor for short breaks, and am debating
whether or not to take on a forthcoming overseas trip.

TRSC Scrub, TRSC Cream, Cadman 26mm Silvertip, RazoRock Bazooka, Astra SS (9), TRSC Balm

A good shave today, and my first use of the Balm. Not bad, but I think I need to use a little less as my skin was left with a bit of a coating after a couple of hours.

The fragrance of the soap is OK for an occasional change, but I wouldn't want it every day, or even frequently.
