Back to the 2-band YaQi after a quick spell with the Silvertip. Very nice and so much more backbone, though the Silvertip is insanely soft.
First run with a Black Beauty which took some getting used to after religiously using my Rocca. First run with Arkadia (courtesy of @shevsky) as well and it made for a great combo!

Greetings All,

Wednesday shave

One days growth and warm shave

Preparation – Showered then face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)
Soap: P&B Citra Royale
Razor: Rockwell 6C (4P)
Blade: Lord Platinum (3rd)
Brush: RazoRock 400 (face lather)

Post Shave: Hot then cold water rinse, Alum, Molton Brown Post Shave Recovery Balm followed by Michael Kors.

Lord Platinum Test
Day 3

The Lord Platinum blade is still smooth, but I am now positive it's lost its edge. Even though I still got a smooth finish, it took several stokes per pass, so lucky I was using a soap renowned for its slickness. Saying that the razor is still quite forgiving but I got a few weepers due to having to go over the same area and using the one thing DE shavers should not use – pressure. Alum had some burn today but it did not last that long.

Tried the Molton Brown Post Shave Recovery Balm – bland scent for a Molton Brown product, and I found it initially rather greasy. It did have a slight burn when rubbing in but dried quickly enough. Post shave, my skin does not feel a little sensitive even an hour after shaving.

Cheers,

Brian

Very nice J. - a highly desirable razor to own by anybodies standards. I hope you like it. I don't own a Fatboy but have used a loaner - it was very good indeed. I have a 63 Slim Aristocrat and it's among my most prized possessions. The Fatboy will be excellent for you I'm sure. They have a 'feel' in the hand that few other vintage razors can match. Take care - yours - I.

thanks again for your kind words. i cant wait to receive it.

Crap shave. Massive brush/tiny pot combo doesn't work. Lovely scent but tallow-free so hard going.
Razor did its best but you can't polish a turd.
Loving the BBA.
That is all........

Two Pass Shaving Routine...

Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
Japanese Hamilton Swedish Steel 6/8th
French Fitchard Pure Badger
Valobra Tallow Soap
Humphreys Witch Hazel

I Had a Super Duper Close Shave with My Swedish Steel Japanese Hamilton 6/8th Today..Man..What a Lazer Sharp & Ridiculously Smooth Razor..I Am Not a Fan of Japanese Steel or Some of the Later Swedish Steel on Japanese Razors..But I Like Japanese Razors with what I Call Traditional/Vintage Swedish Steel..My Judgement of Taste of Course..

I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..

PRE - Shower & almond oil

BRUSH - SOC Boar

SOAP - Portus Cale

RAZOR - Dovo ‘Mammut' extra hollow (18)

POST - Almond oil & Fine Platinum

Great shave from the Portus Cale!
It's one of the most underrated and unused soaps in my opinion. An awesome post shave feel and great glide.
It kind of smells like Lynx Africa, though when finished with Fine Platinum it comes alive!

This is the last shave with the Dovo mammut. 18 shaves with no cromox or diamond spray, only linen and leather stropping and the edge has reached its limit for me. It's tugging is reaching a painful status.
I'll give it a few light laps on a yellow lake oilstone to bring it back to life again.
