Tuesday viii April, 2014

Brush: Custom Neep London Plane
Soap: Otoko Organics
Razor: Braveheart SS head w. Maggard MR3 Handle
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux #3
Post: Alum, Pitralon Classic ASL, Kiehl's ASB

Result: Still not happy with how to get a decent lasting lather from the Otoko. It was better this morning, but still not quite how I would like it. I tried face lathering this morning to see if that was any better and it was, but still not the full deal. That said I always get a decent shave. The Platinum Lux is a sharp blade and somewhat unforgiving in this razor combo. Have finished my Pitralon Classic, and it was very good indeed. I will certainly replenish when the time is right.

Cheers,

Jon

I think we need a ruling here! It starts with watches as props, maybe a knife but pretty soon there a nude women all over or parts of women supporting razors. So cut to the chase guys, no more watches and knives!

Every time I see this razor it's another nudge to buying one. Is the red dot on the top cap put on when it's digressed or is it something you've added?
