Greetings,


Face & head Shave.


A new shave set up to start the weekend.

This week will be a chinese clone razor week...Starting with the Jagen David B30 a chinese super-speed clone which has a good weight & balance to it, the moving parts are all in smooth working order with no uneven blade alignment or aggression gap difference or any safety issues that will cause injury to myself when shaving.

The silver star super stainless is my favourite blade to come out of the lord camp, a very sharp efficient but smooth blade that matched up with the non-aggressive JD B30 wonderfully.

A enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups near BBS face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of L'OREAL ~ barber club reinforcing ASB.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth and smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Saturday, 30 May 2020

PreShave: Warm to hot water, most from the boiled kettle some from the tap
Cream: GFT Eucris
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled T&H cream bowl
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade Feather (1)
Post Shave: Alum

Fragrance: Eucris

On the assumption that it's not the blade alone, but a blade+razor combo I tried the Futur with a Feather, with the Futur set at 3,3 and 2. I had not liked Feathers with my other razors, but this combo was excellent. In fact, a super-smooth BBS shave. One for the memories!

Have a good weekend and stay safe, folks.
 
Usual set up for me:
  • Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable 109 P1 (setting 3)
  • Blade: Nacet(7)
  • Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock Synthetic

  • Balm: Nivea Sensitive

Given Bruce's comments I might be tempted to try a feather blade for the first time :unsure:? I have some in my den. Once I found Nacet's I stopped experimenting with blades as they work with all my razors.
 
Today's shave:

- Phoenix & Beau Albion
- NassrasurClub "Trillian" 2-Band
- Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 with Feather blade
- Sôi energy aftershave

:)

The brush is made by Oumo and produced/branded for a German shaving shop. It's a SHD Handmaster finest knot, set in the most comfortable handle they have. Nice softness/firmness ratio, feels smaller than its 26mm though.

SOTD May 30th

Soap - B&M Reserve Lavender - sublime as usual. Slick and smells wonderful.
Brush - Yaqi Sagrada la familia - soft and creates great lather.
Razor - Gillette Adjustable settings 8,5 and 4. Beautifully smooth 3 passes
Blade - Gillette Rubie #3 - very impressed with these blades, sharp and smooth and for me perform as well as the Silver Blues and Platinums.
Post - Stirling Arkadia - awesome scent and post shave feel. A treat to start the weekend.

Stay safe and hope you all enjoy your Weekends
 
Sat 30th SOTD with New RazoRock German 37 Slant
Soap Colonel Conk Lime
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mountain Lake
Razor RazoRock German 37 Slant-HD Handle
Blade Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless 3rd
Post and Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic Acid
Clubman GentsGin
Finally took courage and try the RazoRock German 37 Slant which I received almost a month ago. Although I have the Parket Semi-Slant but comparing it to the RR slant head gap..wow!
Anyway, use CC Lime as it's one of my slickest soap. Strong lasting scent too. Great lather from the brush building it on my face. Creamily thick and real slick.
Shave with razor paired with a trusty blade turns out to be very very comfortable and smooth after all. 3 multiple passes and can feel the efficiency and although not 100% but the best result in as many days without any weepers which is the main objective. Tempted to chase absolute BBS at adam apple area but refrained. Mostly BBS with some DFS under neck area. Ice water rinse followed by Thayers then Hyaluronic then GentsGin makes this a great shave session! Rating today 9.8/10!
Really impressed with this RazoRock German 37 Slant with the HD Handle. Sweet spot shave angle is easy to find and did not feel it to be aggressive at all. Will be using more often now...
