I need to catch up, don’t want you all to think I’ve stopped shaving
. I missed posting yesterday, family day out.
Thursday 3rd.
Brush: Ever Ready re knotted synthetic
Soap: Razo-Rock Puros
Razor: Rex Ambassador, #3
Blade: Gillette blue super iridium
The Rex is one hell of a beautifully made razor and set on 3 gave me an excellent shave. I’ve grown to like Puros soap, very easy to get a great lather plus a very good lasting scent.
Today, Friday 4th
Brush: Bristle badger mix,
Soap: DR Harris Marlborough
Razor: SUPPLY SE2
Blade: Schick B20
It was the turn of my SUPPLY SE 2 injector razor. Another beautifully constructed razor like the Rex. I used a blade provided with the razor but was not impressed (Yes, I have been known in the past to try a new razor with the shipping spacer, but this was a proper blade albeit didn’t seem to cut cleanly). I changed to a Schick B-20 Proline which was much better. The razor head is a two dot which felt quite mild to me although it did the job extremely well, the razor has some heft but used lightly, clears the stubble with minimum of fuss. I think razor angle on the face is all important with a mild razor, unlike an aggressive razor where pressure is perhaps more of an issue? I’m still learning. Whilst this is an injector razor, the head can be removed and different heads are able to be fitted but also the blade can be removed for cleaning and replaced without the need to “re-inject”, much like the very original Schick injectors.
I am really unimpressed with the DR Harris Marlborough soap. I thought it would never lather and when on my face dried very quickly. Maybe it lathers better with a synthetic brush? I’ll probably ditch the soap but keep the wooden bowl.
Have a great evening fellas!
