Things getting back to normal after my heavy weekend in Belfast. Enough to chance a shave with the Feather DX, it is fitted with a Feather light-blade so does offer some leeway for mistakes, it actually makes the razor a bit of a pussycat.
2 passes and some touch up for a very comfortable, BBS finish.
Hope you are on the mend @mpf9ret
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

I like the 7OCSP blade a lot better in this mild SLOC. This was my first shave with the Nivea, and I like it. Easy to lather, held plenty of moisture, and was plenty slick. The scent is nondescript, though pleasant, but for an every now and then product I don't care that much. I ended up with an easy BBS. Aftercare was provided by this bottle of Geir Ness cologne that is actually 90% witch hazel now, and a dab of Burt Bee's AS Balm.

Note: I did zero prep today so I was very happy that the shave was as good as it was.

Same again.

Really enjoying this workhorse boar brush which very much reminds me of the character of those little British piggies you got in soap and brush sets from the like of Culmak.

My Shave today consisted of...

Prep hot shower.
Brush Shave factory Boar brush.
Soap Bee clean Peppermint.
Razor Reggie's Mars
Blade Derby Premium.
Aftershave Jean paul gaultier.

I have done a next day shave with the Mars to see if my initial thoughts were correct about it being milder than the Titan.
I am convinced that it is and this can indeed be used as a daily shaver.
Costs aside, I prefer the Mars TBH, I am not sure if it's a weight thing or I just prefer the way the Mars shaves in general.
Nice blade feedback and the Blade is fully enclosed so that's another plus.
If you buy one I think you will be very pleased and you get a lot of bang for your buck.
Anyways have an amazing night everyone.

My best shave ever with the Stando Rod, which was reassuring to me having sold the Vector! Smooth to the point of glass BBS in most places but with zero irritation or issues. The Stirling is still one of my all time favourite citrus scents and the base is just great. A throughly enjoyable start to the day yesterday.

Greetings,

Early morning shave.

Like the Baili BD177 Rose Gold TTO & Kanzy K100 Chinese clone razors, the Baili BD 191 has a "closed head design" which gives extra protection from catching my ear lobes and under the nose when shaving something of which I like very much about all three razors.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine. ;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:
