SOTD : Saturday 11th July - Friday 17th July 2020

Pal Injector
NOS Pal Injector Blade
Gillette Sensor 3
Yaqi Sagrada Familia
TFS Bergamotto Neroli crema da barba
Alum and Witch Hazel
TFS Bergamotto Neroli AS
Prep Cream
Proraso Green Balm

Well this didn't work out well, I think I ruined the NOS blade on inserting. It didn't shave very well so finished with the Sensor 3.
No cuts, weapers, or irritation but I am quite red. My rosacea is playing up too. I won't be winning any beauty pageants this week.

Blade: Rapira Swedish Steel (1)

12/07/20

Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline (7)
Brush: Wildwest Brushworks Cashmere
Soap: AdP Collezione Barbiere
Pre: Proraso White
ASL: Signature Soaps Eboracum
ASB: Creightons



An easy 3 pass DFS+ finish. This AdP cream/soap is very nice. Does the fancy jar and designer name elevate it slightly higher in my opinion? Probably - but I like it and I'll use it again.
 
I always love your photos, Chard, but I always find myself wanting a Mr Whippy ice cream cone after viewing
Nice...two questions: what's the aggressiveness of that razor and what warp factor was the Enterprise set to when you took the photo?

Thanks. It's quite an aggressive razor, more so than my R41. I still haven't completely dialed it in, but riding the cap seems to limit blood loss.
As far as "warp factor," I used a focal zoom digital app and played with it until I was satisfied with the look.
