A lovely two pass shave this morning, only the razor changes today, and what a good razor. The MÜHLE R41 head, for me, is the best of the current MÜHLE/Jagger heads. It combines efficiency with a reasonable degree of smoothness. YMMV. Everybody is gloriously different. I may be more different than most, liking both the R41 and the Feather AS-D1 at the same time!

Gillette Slim Adjustable (3)
Łódź Polsilver (5)
Omega 011829 Boar
Shulton Old Spice Shave Soap
Humphrey's witch hazel
Shulton Old Spice as lotion.

Full Shulton.
Bought the splash and the body soap a few months ago. I've used the splash several times, but tonight I used the body soap in the shower. The scent is considerably stronger than my vintage Shulton shaving soap, and the lather it produced was rich and silky. I reckon I could shave with it.

Brush Yaqi 24mm Aqua Tuxedo

Blade GEM Stainless 4th
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water & Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic & MacaRoot Aloe Gel
Nice pleasant lather from the cream. More than required.
4th shave with this SE razor paired with blade is much more smoother and comfortable especially for wtg & atg. Not so for atg....as can feel the blade is kinda skipping rather than cutting cleanly. All in it was an enjoyable 3passes with DFS+ results. Better than the previous shave with same razor and blade. Good post and aftershaves.

Shave of the year for me.

Having not shaved since lockdown it was time for a ceremonial shaving of the beard. I had ordered a feather shavette and it was first time out for that.

And I had replacement lens surgery on both eyes so it was really a case of “what could possibly go wrong?”

Some things have to constant and my Signature soap soon had a fabulous lather.

I just took it really slowly- after the first pass there were all sort of wierd tufts left so needed a second pass and then tidy up. No nicks at all amazingly!

Overall a really nice experience, enjoyed the shavette and feels good to be clean shaved again!

cheers all
Paul
