Good morning to all:

Yesterday I got my new OneBlade razor and my new Caties Bubble soaps. You can't imagine what a great shave I had, it was awesome. I will talk about this new razor in future posts.

Please do as someone who is waiting for his OneBlade I'm curious to hear how you like it.
 
SHAVEMAC 2-band Silver tip
LASS Co BBS-1/Feather
COLD RIVER SOAP WORKS Fall 2015 Soap and Aftershave Balm
GEORGETOWN POTTERY G12 Scuttle (keeps the brush and lather nice and warm)
The Shavemac was a treat to use. Whipped up the lather effortlessly, released it without hesitation and felt great on the face.​

Awesome little shaver this. Really surprised me after trying 2 high SS razors recently....
 
Prep - Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette Fat Handled Tech
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue (#2)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS

For only the second time since going traditional nearly two years ago, I didn't shower as part of my prep. I just washed with my normal soap in the sink, which will hopefully be my last time - I really didn't like it!
Another change to the usual regime tonight was MWF. I've been sticking with Arko solely for the last two months, in an attempt to set a base level for my shaves. The Fat certainly is slick, and my joint favourite with Arko and Tabac. I love its simplicity.
I've also been using the Tech for the last couple of weeks, and I'll continue to until at least the end of the month/year.

Awesome three pass shave with this newly acquired razor. Easy near BBS result.
The OSP Bayrum has a great scent and works really well with a good alcohol kick.

Thurssday, 17th of December. Evening.

Palmolive soap stick.
Razorock 24mm Plissoft.
Wilkinson Sword Classic.
Feather Hi Stainless (2).
Boots witch hazel & tea tree cleanser.
Boots Freshwood balm.
Nivea moisturising cream.

A good shave but not very comfortable. Even with the utmost care I seem to get a lot more irritation with this Feather blade than the other blades I've used, even on the second shave. I think I'll keep the Feathers on one side for a while. Thank Christ I didn't try using one in the more aggressive Gillette razor! :eek:
