The theme for this fine evening's shave was 'We have resumed control'
General Colonial
Captain Kai
Emperor Razorock
Court jester and daft as a brush Razorock 24mm Plissoft
The extreme gentleman Paul Smith
Lady Nivea
This evening I find myself at my father's house and the beautiful shaving water of the Yorkshire Wolds. I have written this before but the water out of the tap here has resulted in some of the best shaves in memory. This evening was no exception.
Tonight was all about the Colonial throwing its weight around to prove it still has shaving power. I must say compared to both the Ikon and the Oneblade the Colonial certainly has that additional mass to stamp its authority with. This is one beautiful razor to use and in reflection much like the One you would be hard pushed to produce nicks and weepers. All within reason though. More importantly it gives one very fine and very close shave and it does it with a great sense of expediency. It certainly ain't no slouch. Then again with blades as wide as your face it would be very much an expectation.
As for blade choice I tend to sway away from overly sharp and find the milder Kai Captain a perfect partner. It tends to keep the razor in check and doesn't try to make an attempt at the world's sharpest razor and lose their honesty and integrity as a result. Together they make for a very capable and very confident pairing.
The soap is a new one for me and was kindly sent as a freebie with the Oneblade I recently bought. And what a nice give-a-away it has turned out to be. For me and my small knowledge on using soaps this one is perfect for those of us who don't understand the finer points of using a shaving soap. Stick in a damp brush, swirl around, stick in a bowl, swirl and stick on face. The end result? A fantastic shaving medium. Great to use, great to shave with and with a gentle old school scent. The more I get in to soaps the more I am moving away from creams.
The swirling brush act brought to you by the Razorock 24mm Plissoft. Exactly the same as my silver aluminium version except a dark shade of black. Best damn brush I have used to date. And the blackest.
Without any bloodshed the General has perpetrated a silent Coup D'etat here and made a statement of its qualities and performance.
A wonderful shave as slick as oil and as smooth as my wife's ass smothered in baby lotion. Can't you just tell I am away back at work and wasting my time planning my next time home.
Now the Easter break is over enjoy the rest of the shortened week you shaving people
And to give it all an ending Paul Smith declared, 'We have resumed control'
