Notes: Another great shave tonight, this time with my very efficient Dart.
This is one razor were the "let the weight of the razor do all the work" applies.
I chose the wrong brush for the Arkob stick because I had forgotten just how much of a lather eater the brush is, and is really suited for tubs and creams but we got there.
Enjoy the night everyone.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Treet Single Edge Razor
Personna Gem PTSE Blade
CWR
Brut After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did one quick pass with the Treet Single Edge Razor with a Personna Gem PTSE Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
 
Fri 12th June

Aleppo soap-Shave pre wash
Cyril Salter - MS Ed2band
Mondial Tabacco Verde
Claymore Evolution V1
Feather Pro ( 3 )
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

Just up this Soap, which really is a croap.,sufficiently hard enough to be able to use a brush to load direct from the bowl.I managed very easily to get an excellent creamy and dense lather to shave with. The lather did not dissipate like a lot do, so shave time was quite quick, but I managed to get a nice close all round finish.

Rating: 10


This was only my second time using the La Toja shave stick and it certainly does the job in my book. The smell reminds me of supermarket own brand washing powder in a good way. Lathers very easily too although this Simpson Chubby 2 badger attracts the suds! I also used a little bit of the MdC Fougère sample and pressed some of that into the copper bowl first. Certainly aided the lathering process and I was getting wafts of the MdC throughout the shave. Very nice.

2 passes today with the first Fatboy I ever bought on setting 3, which I’ve not done for an entire shave before. Happy with the result, though I know I could have achieved a closer result on setting 7.
To finish some Paco Rabanne aftershave lotion. Perfecto!IMG_20260612_140718792.jpeg
