Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

A wonderful performance from the Chinese Gillette super speed clone & Treet Dura Sharp to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

After my comfortable shave with the Weishi/Yintal 9306-I today in my next week's SOTD's I will do a Chinese clone DE razor focus week.

I find the Treet Dura Sharp smoothness & longevity near the same as the Treet 7 Days Platinum my overall reacquaintance with both blades has been wonderful.

A comfortable enjoyable 2 pass + pick-ups shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Creightons Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling smooth cool & smelling divine. ;)

Keep safe and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

Had a go with the unknown badger. This is a mystery brush that's been in the den for about 12 years now. No name or markings on it and I can't remember where I got it from, can't have been expensive or I would remember it. It's a damn good brush though.

I really do like the looks and feel of the Lupo/UFO in the hand.
Starting todays shave with a wonderful face lather from the well scented Stirling soap and Duke 3 combo.
Today i tried a less sharp blade in the Lupo - the Plat Lux from Rapira, usually i can always get a decent "safe" shave from them, today though the blade did not feel as smooth as Med prep on the Lupo's maiden run out. For me i think i need to run sharper blades in it. I will try a Wizamet in there next.
Todays shave was still a good one though, 2 full passes WTG and ATG then some XTG touch up on the cheeks with a comfortable, BBS finish.
A nice old school post shave routine ending with a good splash of Proraso Red.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
