Razor - NINGFENG SHAVER
Blade - Gillette Nacet (3)
Brush - Yaqi Plissoft 24mm
Soap - Arko Stick
Post - Lea Balm/Alum
AS - Brutal Classic

The mighty @saj sent me a quite an interesting single edge razor, it uses one side of a double edge razor blade, with the other side covered with the shave angle set by the shape of the head. Upon the first stroke on my cheeks, I could tell the blade was chattering like anything and I was quite simply terrified! It has quite a significant blade gap and I was asking myself why I used this razor with a Gillette Nacet, one of the sharpest blades I own. I completed one pass, and that was enough! It wasn't actually as aggressive as I was expecting but the blade feel was very strange, it felt like it was very loose in the razor head.

As it was a razor that Saj sent me, it would have been wrong to use it with anything else other than a lather made by the smiling Arko Man.

May the Arko man with his face full of bountiful lather bring wealth and prosperity to us all.

Mr Arko would be proud of you lol

Yea cheapo razor but not bad for what it is, I used two feathers in it, I like that it takes two whole de blades instead of the russian razor which takes two blade but you have to snap one in to piece pop them in, forgot what the russian razor is called but it's hybrid too open comb and closed comb too which I like too

Impeccable soap & matching balm. Nicely scented and capable of a rich creamy slick lather...
Nice razor to remove a 2 day's growth (missed shaving yesterday). Smooth and comfortable edge in 3passes for a ccs-sas finish without any issues.

Nice, nice, nice. Dunno if the TDS stuff is still importable with the Russia/Ukraine situation, but I'm low on much of the stuff I raved about when it first arrived :unsure:
