View attachment 78567Another Cracking shave for me today even although i think the dury is out on these vegan soaps.
I never actually bought it because it was vegan
i just wanted to give them a try.
It’s the first use for me on the Verimore and it’s very good however i can’t take the vegan or leave it.
Personally i think it would be a lot better with a bit of animal fat lol but i guess that defeats the purpose.
Another first for me with the brush and i would say it has more backbone than any other brush i own
a really very good synthetic but i guess that’s what we come to expect with shavemac.
Only a two pass shave today as i’m planning a shave everyday starting monday.

Ha, I got called out when I used an Injector Blade in an OCMM. How did the E2 perform with the Chick?
I had the same issue with their Jean Paul Gautier copy but not the Barbershop. Hopefully the other soaps will be an improvement!PreShave: Shower then Cube - unscented
Soap: Pinnacle Grooming, Barbershop
Brush: Yaqi Heavy Metal
Razor: R6S / R3
Blade: Astra SP #2
Post Shave: Alum block then Proraso White
DE Shave #26
A bit of a rollercoaster shave today. Couldn't get the new soap to a big lather but creamy enough to shave with. I had a mild burning reaction to it but it is the slickest soap I've used this far. I had a couple of blood spots and I'm not sure if I was distracted or maybe the R3 plate isn't right for me.
An hour or so after the shave my face had setttled and feels comfortable and smooth. I do love a happy ending.
Tte 3 dot gives a very good shave!View attachment 78592
SOTD 17th Oct
Brush - PAA Starcraft
Soap - WSP Gaelic Tweed
Razor - Supply V2 3 dot Ultra Close plate
Blade - Schick Proline B20 #7
Post - Cien Aqua lotion & P&B Spitfire balm
For me, a marked difference between 3 dot and 2 dot plates in the Supply. Alot more blade feel, much more efficient on first WTG pass. Feels like I've used the Gem MMOC which is no bad thing. Actually nice that the plate can change the "personality" or "attitude" of a razor.
The supporting cast here was outstanding from lather to post shave - Tidy!
Take care all and enjoy your shaves

The return of the mad Turkish razor and its bits of a Dorco blade. A blade as it transpired to be on its last legs. Or to be more precise 3 . 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3 5 8 9 7 9 3 2 3 8 4 6 2 6 4 3 3 8 3 2 7 9 5 0 2 8 8 4 1 9 7 1 6 9 3 9 9 3 7 5 1 0 5 8 2 0 9 7 4 9 4 4 5 9 2 3 0 7 8 1 6 4 0 6 2 8 6 2 0 8 9 9 8 6 2 8 0 3 4 8 2 5 3 4 2 1 1 7 0 6 7 9% of its last leg. But amazingly it did its job and an acceptable end with a nearly unacceptable razor. Removing the spent blade is an exercise in finger tip removal, but resigned to the blade bank it was. Time to go splitting and de-tabbing another in readiness. In readiness for what, I have no idea.
Have a most wonderful week ahead you very fine folk
And some chaos and Anarchy to start a new week. Enjoy (or don't)
