Good morning,
a new set up to start the weekend, the blade of choice for the week was originally going to be voshkod teflon coated, but as i went to my blade storage box i noticed the super-max super stainless, realised i had yet to try them out, so it's my first maiden shave with them..what's the verdict?..overall pretty good,they probably will only give you 2 good shaves IMHO,but for me it doesn't matter what ever blade i use, i only have two shaves,then its binned...i have near 400+ various blades to contend with.
A nice 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
My face feels smooth & refreshed to start the weekend.Enjoy your day,ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

A fab weekend shave with the Fat Boy, the Fine soap was very good indeed, strong citrus with a touch of musk and lathered well with great slide. This brush is a joy to use.

Saturday 4 March

Pre-Shave - Hot shower and Proraso Red pre-shave
Bowl - Rabbit food bowl from my local farm shop
Cream - TOBS Sandalwood
Brush - Vilfux Simpsons Synthetic
Razor - Merkur Futur (setting 2)
Blade - Polsilver SI
Post-Shave - Proraso Red

I have today found out what an aggressive razor is! Very smooth but I received 3 or 4 little nicks and cuts. I am not sure my technique is good enough for the Merkur Futur. Back to the Edwin Jagger until my technique is far far better.

Saturday 4th...

Soap - The Gentleman's Groom Room Highland Bothy
Brush - Semogue 1470
Face lather
Razor - Fatip Piccolo
Blade - Astra SP #1
Post - Thayer's
Smell - Geo. Trumper's Eucris EdT

Close encounter of the Fatip kind. Smooth and effortless, with two days whiskers consigned to history. The smoky, cedary vetiver in the soap goes well with the dark, almost Gothic oakmoss in the Eucris. Max Schreck in Murnau's 1922 Nosferatu should have worn this (chronologically, it makes sense; Eucris came about in 1912).
