Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (2)
Brush: Highlander Boti Pink
Soap: Murphy & McNeil The Great Bear
Splash: Murphy & McNeil The Great Bear

A false start with this shave last night due to the awakening of one of the kids! Relaxing shave this morning instead...

It's been a while since I tried a GEM razor - previous attempts were with vintage versions when I was a less experience wetshaver and results were... Uncomfortable. The Sabre is a cracking razor, after borrowing one, I knew I wanted one! It seems more nimble than an AC razor as it's a bit narrower a blade but with the same assured feeling of blade rigidity. Really enjoyed today's shave!

Pleasant shaves to all!

Lovely scent from this soap set. The lather is super creamy and slick!
Had a lovely shave too with this razor. The edge was buttery smooth and crisply keen...

9 February

Signature Soaps Capra Deva
Simpson Chubby 2
Tatara Masamune Nodachi
Feather Hi-Stainless
Proraso Sensitive balm


​

Another extraordinary shave this morning. The Chubby 2 with Sovereign fibre was not a favourite when I first got it, but it is becoming one. Today I achieved an astonishingly thick lather with the Capra Deva soap. An all around good ‘un.

Friday 9 February

An very enjoyable shave today, not quite bbs finish as I think the blade is going off but the cathartic process of lathering Spitfire with the vintage Rubberset 400 and then removing it with the vintage FatBoy was a relaxing way to start the day and left me smiling. Who needs bbs every shave anyway?
Have a great day fellas!

Fat February

The Mighty Mitchell's Woof Fat (Classic) Shaving Soap & Omega 11137 Pure Bristle
Muhle R89 Twist & Treet Durasharp (2) < Yellow Pack
Pitralon Classic Aftershave

... and one of what will be a number of back to backs this month pitting the classic MWF against its latest formulation.

Happy to say that comparing to last night's shave with the latest formulation, my love for the classic is still very much there. I'll also say that my appreciation of the latest formulation is growing. It really is as good as the classic soap,

Second shave with the Rainbow stainless blade. Razor and soap same as before; some difficulty getting a close shave but easy to get an acceptable one. Dialled up to 9 to get the best I could.
