Brush looks really nice, I am liking the Cobra a lot but having been loaned the ATT razor by a good chap on here, the Cobra has not been used for a wee while....

The OC ?

 

[Burgundy]

Feather AC SS non-folding
Feather AC ProGuard (1)
Muhle Silvertip Fibre, v2
DR Harris Eucalyptus cream
Lucky Tiger Face Tonic
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet

Two firsts:

1. First go with the Kamisori-style Feather. Loved it! Went crazy with two very gentle passes. I found the handle very manoeuvrable; shaving around the lips was straightforward and I experimented with using only one hand for one pass and both for the other. The jawline isn't too bad but working out how to attack my chin. I had a go but stopped when the blade seemed to start tugging. No irritation whatsoever but, then again, it's by no means a close shave yet.

2. First outing with the 23mm v2 iteration of the Muhle Silvertip Fibre. I wasn't particularly impressed. A very soft brush but I found the shape of the knot uncomfortable to face lather with. It felt oddly 'pointy' and I couldn't find the 'sweet spot' without mushing it right into my face. Painting motions improved it. I'll have to reserve judgement on this one and try it with more soap. I don't set much store by these English creams.

First shave with a newly-acquired Silver Blue. So far so good, sharp yet smooth.

The CC.

M1 & R1 plate... M1 is very mild, the R1 is more aggressive than my 38(c)

I am hoping for a shot of the OC R2 plate....

I've had both and I just couldn't get them to work for me very annoyingly. Currently watching the OC thread with great interest. Your post count is now 666 :angel:

Decent comfortable shave. The blade was getting tired towards the end of the shave. The Aqua Velva I like and first time out with it. The bottle pours poorly, as has been mentioned before on here. Enough poured in my cupped hand to splash my entire head :icon_rolleyes:

Razor: Weber PH head on iKon handle
