Saturday 18th November

Gillette Original Shave Foam
Wilkinson Sword WII & Schick Super II Plus (6)
Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum

While it is plastic and a bit cheap-feeling, this WII did make very short work of finding ... and maintaining the optimal angle. The Schick Super II Plus is modern, so a solid performer. Damn fine shave, that.

We don't see the Contour used as much as it should be.

The head is just the same as the Featherweight and Push-button yet comes in a quite modern styling. Personally, I dislike the Push-button models and the Push-button version of the Contour for aesthetic reasons, but that's me ... the II version is a lovely piece of design.

I have two types of II whichI call A & B as well as what appears to be a 1.5 model with the back from the first incarnation rather than a strip.

Brush: Chubby 1 Best
Soap: WK Vor V
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: GEM PTFE
Post: WK Vor V Tonic, Balm & EDP

Ok shave this morning, needed a little more buffing than usual but got the job done.

With WK does anyone find their tallow to be a bugger to load? I've noticed it every time I've used it that I need to load for a hell of a lot longer, it's not a bad thing as it performs well when loaded and it's quite hard so I'm not going through it at pace. Just a general wondering and not a negative critique.

Hope everyone has a good one on this miserable rainy day! I get to go clothes shopping for my daughter so that should be fun...perhaps I'll get a trip to B&Q and a coffee out of it.

Cheers

Marc

Thanks so much for the detailed information. My Contour gives me a good shave, but for some reason, the Featherweight doesn't.

Sunday 19 November
I expected an ordinary shave today, chrome factory made Mühle Traditional R41 oc, but ….wow! It was amazing for such a plain vanilla razor. I used a Sputnik teflon 4x so didn’t necessarily expect the closest shave. Lathered up, a nice soft creamy soap and mild scent and no pong today from this Kent brush .
This razor definitely punches above its weight for its price. A true bbs in one main pass wtg followed by pick ups and light atg pass.
I continue to be impressed with Sputnik blades and more than happy with the R41.

Have a great Sunday fellas!

Soap - Stirling Soap co. Bay Rum
Razor - Blackland Dart
Blade - Rapira Swedish Super Steel
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Macdui - Rosemary & Sandalwood
A/S - DR Harris Bay Rum

Well that was a bit of a revelation, either my technique and confidence with the Dart has improved massively or the Rapira Blue has tamed the beast.
I completed 2 passes without issue leaving me comfortable and BBS.
A nice post shave routine without any indication from the splash.
A very happy shaver today.
Enjoy your day all.
