Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend..I've carried on adding soft & hardware to my SOTD set ups that hardly gave any attention for a long time. The treet 7 day platinum blades are another blade from the treet camp which i've only used on a few occasions,another smooth and sharp blade which mached up matched up with the Yintal 9306-I excellently, making a efficient smooth duo..The characteristics of them are very similar to the astra sp in sharpness, with a slightly sharper edge ,which can be a little rough on the first pass, but after that they mellow out...As always YMMV DE blade opinions are very subjective.

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Sensitive Cooling PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.;)

Enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Razor: Merkur 41C (1904)
Blade: Feather (1)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Soap: AG AdC Barberia
Pre: Proraso White
ASL: Superdrug Sierran Breeze
ASB: RSC
Scent: AG AdC

Another run with the Merkur OC - this time with a sharper blade. I'm sporting a fine finish but it took nearly 4 passes to get here. No nicks though.

Initial impressions after two shaves is that this razor is milder than the Yaqi DOC. It seems like it would make a good daily driver.
