Best Badger by Neocaligatio

Brand new Feather

Tabac soap and a/s

After a fortnight of Wool Fat and the Aristocrat Jr, this was an absolute treat of a shave: not better, but aromatic and effortless.

Arrowhead, I never got a chance to reply on the last SOTD but thanks for the reply re: Red Packs and I already have some Feathers to audition at some point as well as 7 o@clock Sharp Edge (yellow packs)

Merkur 39c Slant
Feather
Simpson's Best Badger Special
Czech & Speake #88 Soap
Alum Block
Nivea a/s/b

Decided to really go for it today an popped a Feather in the Slant. A very 'quiet' shave which did leave me with a couple of weepers, which were my fault.

The C&S soap was a chunk pif'd to me by Vinny (Joe Mclaine). It works well, but the scent isn't as appealing to me as the cologne. I think that Vinny reached the same conclusion.

Great shave, i reckon this blade could do another shave but binned it anyway.
 
Sunday

Fitjar Bee My Honey
Semogue 2015HD
Merkur HD
Iridium D1
Alum
Thayers w/aloe

It has been a while since i used Fitjar, I was soon reminded of how good this cream is. It does not have an exploding lather, but it does provide all the cushoining that is required & my skin felt great afterwards.

Love the portable head with a mildish blade... think it would be dangerous (for me!) with something too sharp
