My 5th Shave with The Atelier I really worked hard at getting the right shave angle, and relied on blade feel to determine progresss of the Shave. Regrettably when I thought alll was good. the finish was actually quite poor. I spent a lot more time today trying to get a decent Shave but find it hard to get this Razor work for me - rather like the original Supply was for me.Willl use a Feather Pro next time out.
A fresh GEM blade in the Shield was a bit much as ended up with the most weepers yet on a head shave. Had to dig out my styptic matches as the alum block wasn't effective enough so may get a styptic pencil for when the matches run low... Hopefully just due to first use blade and not the razor.
Called it a day after just two passes with no touch ups but other than all the blood the result wasn't any worse than normal
Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Olivewood Silvertip Badger
Red and Black Old Type by Tom White
PolSilver Super Iridium Blade
CWR
Tabac Shave
I started with the cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Olivewood Silvertip Badger. I did one quick pass and touch-ups with the Red and Black Old Type razor by Tom White with a PolSilver Super Iridium Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Tabac After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Another random Indian blade ... another made by Tigaksha for the Vi-John brand. Sharp and capable from the off and in no way uncomfortable. I enjoyed that!
