Very pleasant, smooth shave, this morning, using the Merkur Progress and a Feather. The Pannacrema shaving soap is really a magnificent addition to any shave, the smell is divine and the lather is tops. A close result achieved in two easy passes.
 
SOTD 16 April 2019

Pre-shave: Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap, cold water splash.
Soap: MDC.
Brush: Shavemac ' The Flat Top' Slivertip.
Bowl: Giles Shaving Co - Spotty Pedstal Wet Shaving Bowl.
Razor: Pils 101NE.
Blade: Feather New-HI-stainless (1).
Post: Cold water, Pitralon Classic, followed by Isle of Skye Soap Co - Cedarwood and Sage shave balm.

First time I have used the Feather with the Pils; usually I find a Feather a little 'scrapy' in the first few shaves, with the Pils I did not feel the Feather at all. A decent 2 pass DFS shave.

I am happy with the Pils, however, I am not convinced that I am shaving with the optimal angle consistently.

All the best,

Chris

Soap - Lea Cream
Brush - Yaqi Fan Tux
Razor - Old Type
Blade - Sputnik
Post - Witch Hazel
Balm - Nivea Replenishing
AS - Brut Oceans

I seldom use the Old Type but it's a very nice razor, one that I found to have a little too much bite to begin with but with improving technique it's actually very mild, but just efficient enough.

Am quite worried about Shaves going so well recently , must go wrong eventually. Very nice today with a fresh blade , the Shave was very smooth and with no problems ended up with a great close all round finish.
