Was away last night so travelled home this morning, with minimal ablutions before the journey. Decided after lunch to have a quick Shave to get rid of the worst stubble. Just as well I did not want to go for ultra close, as really the blade
was past its best.

This evening's shave themed 'inoffensive'

20211128_160551.jpg

An offensive weapon - Rocnel SE-P
Bits of an inoffensive blade - Dorco Prime
I'd like to swear but I am not going to brush - Muhle ivory
Very nice soap - MDC Rose
A damn fine splash - Penhaligons Bayolea

Free of bad language and an SOTD you could let your kids read.

A long overdue outing for the Rocnel half-a-blade razor on a half-a-person shaver. As always take it easy as this razor will happily take chunks out of your face. Fortunately not on this occasion but one slight nick which took its time deciding whether it wanted to be a weeper or a cut. A tinge of red said 'little nick' and so it was. Otherwise perfection and silly close once again. Smashing.

The Muhle brush should make me launch in to a tirade of expletives but I have sworn to play it nice and clean.

But what a waste of a brush. Takes ages to do anything and would be more suitable for my two granddaughters to lather up their Barbie dolls. I don't mind smaller brushes but this one has no back, no density and just plain rubbish to me. My goodness it even made hard work of the MDC which is so easy to lather up. But I have to give it a whirl once in a while.

To the back of the cupboard you go

Overall though the Rocnel well made up for the poor show elsewhere and a very nice precise close shave was had.

And over to Trident and their days of that over-enthusiastic drummer Junna. But she is good


 
Stayed with the Droid and Floid combo. Must be decent as the wife said that I smelt amazing!
So there only difference from yesterday was that I used the superspeed that arrived yesterday, loaded with a Perma sharp. Absolutely BBS, couldn't be better.
Maybe I've just 'got' how the vintage Gillette's shave and intuitively have fantastic shaves with them every time!

Mon 29 SOTD
Soap Catie's Bubbles Le Piment De La Vie
Brush Yaqi 24mm Arctic Sky Deep Blue
Razor Edwin Jagger DE89L
Blade KAI Stainless Steel 1st Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Aqua Velva Ice Blue
A nice soap with a uniquely pleasant scent. The lather is very good too, creamy and slick!
This shave with my 1st DE razor paired with the blade was very good. Crisply sharp yet very smooth and comfortable. Managed 3passes for a mostly bbs result. In comparison to my last shave using the Feather, it has a slight edge over the KAI for better efficiency, ymmv. Aftershaves were good.
