Greetings,

A early start for me again, due to me doing another half day at the mill...Needs must unfortunately at the moment.

A new set up to start the weekend.The gillette sharpedge which is one of my favourite DE blades, every razor i've matched it up with i've had consistantly good shaves, today was no exception paired up with my vintage gillette slimtwist resulted in a very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave, with no errors to report.

The scottish Fine soap as always provided me with a wonderful slick lather which made the shave a very enjoyable experience.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut ~ Alaska A/S Lotion.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
L`Occitane Cade soap
Alu. Hawk V1 + Windrose Handle
Schick Proline [ 2 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

Finished off my AC/SE Razor rotation today using the Alu Hawk with a S/S Handle. With a good lather
it delivered a Shave nearly as good as those attained with its more expensive brethren. I would recommend this Razor to those who wish to experience use of an AC/SE Razor , no need txobreak the
bank.

Morning shave

Olive Oil Soap
Mike's Hungarian Lavender
Thater 4125/2
Ever Ready Streamline
Gem Blue Star (4)
Thayers Witch Hazel (unscented)
Bart's Lavender Oil Aftershave Lotion
Czech and Speake Oxford and Cambridge EDC

First impressions of the Mike's are positive, but I will have to experiment a bit to get it just right. I adjusted the angle of attack with the Streamline this morning and hit the sweet spot. Excellent! But I will stick to a maximum of three shaves with the blade in future. It was just beginning to lose its edge by the second pass. Have a great weekend gents.

APR

Second use of the Ladas with this and, despite it performing well first-off, today felt a little uncomfortable and rough. I've still managed a decently-close and thorough shave regardless of this pitfall, especially when using the capable APR soap. Finished off with a strong alcohol burn from the splash and I'm feeling close, marginally uncomfortable but with no obvious irritation. I'll be trying my go-to blade, the Nacet, with the next few shaves before passing this lovely little razor on.
