Now 9 Shaves in with this Razor/ Blade combo and in previous SOTD I have indicated how good I find it. It scores over a lot of Razors as not only is it good working around the upper lip/nose, but it clears the neck area very well every time without causing any irritation. I think I may just have to have another go with the OC version, to confirm my opinion of which version really suits me best.

I decided to try and bowl lather with this new brush. I usually face lather. It was OK, the brush just dominates the bowl as it's so big.
A three pass shave. I don't usually do a third pass on my moustache area, today I did and got a slight weeper. Comfortable shave with a few rougher than usual areas at the bottom of my neck.

A great result from 2 passes today, i then got greedy and completed some buffing, caught the bottom of my septum with a tiny nick, its been i while since i saw any blood during a shave. That's what you get when you take your eye off the ball. It was not a bleeder and a cold water rinse sorted it out. I then carried on to buff the devils whirlpools and attained the aforementioned BBS.
A nice post shave routine leaving feeling a smelling good.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
A very fine two pass shave this morning, effortless and efficient. The Simpson Manchurian hair is astonishingly soft at the tips, but also resilient enough to face lather as a Chubby should. I love this brush...and at this price point you really need to.

A super smooth shave from the Paradigm / Proline combo, wonderful thick n slick lather from the Valobra Patcholi whipped to perfection with the Alpha Chubby.
To finish a spray or two of the intoxicating Club de nuit which arrived in the post today after being enabled by a fellow member! You know who you are!
