New toy and a double headed SOTD for a double edged delight. And this one arrives on your screen complete with the theme, 'Mild, meek and fairy liquid'
Under no condition was either of these shaves carried out using Fairy Liquid as a lather
Monday
Mild - Feather AS-D2
Not Mild - Feather blade
Meek - PAA Pelegrino
Milky - Signature Soaps Condate
Murky - L'Occitane Cade balm
Mellow - Extro Arzachena
'Do you know how I became pregnant?'
'Fairy liquid'
At least that was the excuse I gave when explaining to my wife's parents how their 18 year old daughter became with child. They finally came around to talking to me again 30 years later.
Meek and mild. Best description I can give for the ASD2, but for something so mild the results are far from it. Not the most difficult of razors to find the correct angle as it does naff all if you don't find it. It kind of slips and slides around doing a great slipping and sliding act. But get that sweet spot and smooth, clean and close are there to be had.
I assume I must have hit its G-Spot pretty quickly though as an orgasmic result resulted. Must be that Fairy Liquid again
Damn it that's a yes yes. But according to these ladies it's definitely a NO NO. Damn it.
Tuesday. That is what I shall call this day
Big softy - Feather AS-D2
Not big not soft - Feather blade
Soft brush - Hive-2
Soft cream, not - Veritas Vincent
Soft face - Collagen
Smelly big softy - Bath House Cuban Cedar and Lime
'WABC Colombia and a good morning. You're all twats'
Now this is where the Feather comes in to its own, as a daily driver. A follow up shave the next night and a blindingly smooth and comfortable shave with sterling results. I could quite easily shave with this razor every day if I was a guaranteed daily shaver. Which I'm not. In fact the only thing I can guarantee is annoyance. I do get a niggly feeling though a change to another blade brand will elevate it further. Seems odd that I think Feather blades are not the best match for their own razor.
Who wants a daily driver though? We want more of everything.
The Varitas cream is a new one to me and came very kindly from a TSR member who then later told me, 'It gave me a rash'. Thanks matey. Nice to know you don't mind someone else having facial blemishes to save your own. Thankfully, it didn't, because otherwise it was going to be 'Do you burn?' time. In fact it was quite the opposite and a bloody superb cream with an amazing lime scent. It kind of reminds me of the Gentleman's Tonic cream which sits somewhere in the middle between cream and soap without being a croap. Very impressed by it and thank you that man.
So once again a very nice turn out for team shave and happy bunnyism all round.
In some ways I will look forward to a return to something a bit more aggressive but I am very happy to have the Feather in the cabinet of dreams where it will join the R89 in that place when mild is the way to go. And that is a little more often than I may lead folk to think otherwise.
Some Japanese ladies? I should Damn well think so. From Japanese Feather razors to Japanese girls with Feathers. Over to you Fate Gear....
- cheers - I.
