16/09/19
Pre : Pears Transparent Original
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Soap: Arran Machrie
Razor: Supply V2 Plate #02
Blade: Personna (11)
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, homemade Witch Hazel with added oils
Balm: Arran Machrie
Aftershave: Arran Machrie



Using the supply is giving me the mildest shaves i have ever had with an injector, perhaps a bit too mild.
1st use of the Arran Machrie, the scent is a little stronger than the Lochranza, although, still fresh and light.
I bowl lathered today and the soap was very easy to lather and again i had plenty for the shave.
I had to complete 3 full passes today WTG, XTG & ATG and quite a bit buffing to achieve a DFS+ finish, i was hoping for BBS, alas that eluded me today.
The post shave routine was good, nothing from the block, the matching Arran Balm and Splash really complimenting the soap.
I have cleaned the razor, put in Plate #03 and a new blade for its next run out, hopefully i will get the result i want from this.
Have a great Day All

P & B Citra Royale
Occams V2/ No3 plate
Schick Proline [1 ]
Pitralon Classic A/S lotion

After a nice Shave with the Occams yesterday, I decided to try it out again with a Schick Proline. From the off it was quite aggressive and unforgiving ,and to be honest the finish not that good compared with the pro guard on its 7th outing yesterday. When finishing up on the chin i got a bad cut, the likes of which I have never experienced with any AC/SE Razor. I shall in future stick with using the blades recommended for use with the Occams, as they deliver great trouble free Shaves.

I was even more cautious than usual this morning because this was my first use of the Old Type and I was using a new blade, but the shave was excellent.
