A very satisfying & enjoyable soap, brush & matching splash combination. The cooling sensation is just nice, the scent is good and the lather was terrific! This razor with a smooth and crisp edge provided a very good shave too...

Bloomin good shave, perhaps didn't need it quite so close this morning but it was welcome. Lovely software setup, cracking lather and scent throughout, can't ask for more.

Smooth and smelling good, hope everyone has a grand weekend.

Cheers

And now for something silly. The Savier top cap and double blades setup on an Ikon B1 OSS baseplate. More than a bit fiddly to align, but once set up (and visually checked!) gave a very nice, somewhat aggressive, shave.

It's made out of titanium so I expected it to be a light razor, and it is. However, is not aluminium light which for me is a good thing. I'm not a big fan of aluminium razors and partly is to do their weight. It requires a considerable adjustment of the pressure applied when using them. Reggie's Titan however seems to strike a very good balance from that point of view. It's not stainless steel heavy but has enough heft to allow for a comfortable manoeuvrability.

Preshave - Pears Transparent Soap
Razor - Fatip Gold Piccolo Lo Storto Originale
Blade - The Bluebeards Revenge
Brush - Highlander TSR LE 2023 (Walnut and Boar)
Lather - Cup Of Leftovers
Splash - Boots Freshwood

First time using this particular Fatip Slant - it's a feisty little bugger. More aggressive than I remember its big brother being. Left me a few weepers, which is unusual for me.

Super close though - utterly BBS after 2 passes.

A Nice Evening shave for me today & Themed Hibernian as my mighty team just got a Draw with Celtic,
i wouldn’t normally celebrate a draw but this time i was sure we would get beat.
The soap for me is first class & an obvious favourite,
A wonderful citrus scent with a touch of lemon Grass.
The Brush was a first for Gile
i put him under pressure asking him to pour this clear resin.
A first for him but as far as i’m concerned he’s nailed it A real beauty although @Gairdner might think otherwise but he’s had a bump to the head, but i’m sure he’ll appreciate the workmanship.
I love these razors from paa and for me they shave exactly,
I never get a bbs with this razor no matter what blade i use as it can be a tad aggressive.
It was difficult to judge whether this blade was similar to the chinese version using this Fakelite .
Ok ladies & gents i’m falling asleep so i’ll so i’ll say Goodnight & enjoy the weekend
