Really pleased how well the blade is going. Even on an 8th outing it does not feel that it is fading,and the Shave was very smooth and pleasingly close all round.

 
Saturday night and I like the way you move.



Trialled my newly acquired Denali soap and Midas Custom brush. The brush is more of a bowl-latherer, but did a decent job slathering some ice-cool menthol-ness on my face/neck. Dialled in the thirsty soap and away to go. All well and good. Frustrated at missing a patch of stubble on the lower-right of my neck but no real complaints...

...until chucking on the Fine. Bang, plenty of burn. When I say plenty I mean plenty. Neck turned from pale pink, though rose, pink, puce and finally ended it's cycle at red. Fortunately that was pretty short lived. 95% buttery smooth with the Futur Clone set on #4, Rapira blade on its 2nd use. Have binned the Rapira and might stick to one use only with my DE blades until I purchase/make a stand for it. It's currently being kept in a wash bag which I doubt helps.

All-in-all, feelin' cool.

Enjoy your weekend, all.

I had an amazing shave today. I am loving the Filipe Grande razor.
It is the first open comb razor that I have used and am thrilled to bits with the results.
It is also the first time I have used a soap so to speak as I have been primarily using creams up to this point. I was totally blown away with NSS (Nanny's Shaving Soap) amount of gorgeous lather this product provided me. As you all probably know the Omega 49 is a beast of a brush and only required literally 30 seconds of working
The slickness, cushion and post shave is truly outstanding.
Finishing with the BBA Balm, once again thank you @Emma C. was the icing on the cake. A product I am now finding I cannot do without.
Have a lovely weekend and Happy Shaving People.
