Razor: 1960 Gillette Fatboy #5
Blade: Sputnik (1)
Brush: Yaqi Moka 2 Band
Soap: Wickham 1912 Citrus Musk
Pre: Proraso White
ASL: L'Oréal
ASB: LEA
The Oatcake Abyss in the picture failed to deliver a stable lather so in stepped the Citrus Musk to deliver great smelling excellence! A face feeler finish and it was nice to use the Fatboy again. I've struggled to get on with Sputnik blades in the past but the one today did the job.

Pre: Pears Original Transparent
Brush: Yaqi Moka Express
Soap: Proraso Red
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Polsilver (2)
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, Tabac splash
Balm: Homemade Neroli Argan Lotion / Gucci by Gucci Balm
Aftershave: Copycat Oud Wood
A Very,Very, Smooth & Efficient 3 pass shave with the AS-D2 today (is there a blade in there?).
These Polsilver's seem to be working very well for me.
Overall a very nice shave.
Next week i am revisiting my first crop of razors just before my RAD really set in. The Blades from this week have been transferred into the next 4 razors up.
The Proraso Red has performed admirably this week, although, i am not sure i can keep it up for the full month, Even if it does resemble Rudolf's Nose.
BBS, Comfortable and smelling tip top.
Have a great weekend All

Wickham 1912 Apricus
Maseto 30mm 2 band finest
Razorock Game Changer .84-P
Feather Hi-stainless
Proraso white asb
A surprisingly smooth result with a Feather blade on it's sixth use. I usually bin a Feather after three shaves, but in one or two razors they seem to last much longer. A very pleasant shave all round as I removed two days of growth in two passes.
