Sunday 7th February
Two weeks into a month of vegan soaps, in contemplation of Veganuary (contemplation
) even if I am lathering up exclusively for the month with my new Semogue SOC Butterscotch boar. I'm also restricting to Indian sub-continent blades and a small number of razors: Muhle Rocca, RazoRock Slant, Yaqi Katana & Gillette 1950s Tech.
French Pink Clay & Charcoal Face Soap
Wickham 1912 Apricus Shaving Soap
Semogue SOC Butterscotch (Boar)
Muhle Rocca R96
SuperMax Super Stainless Blue (1)
Floid Moderna (Black) Aftershave
Onwards and upwards through a run of SuperMax blades for which I made a post over in the blades forum (see: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/co...esident-supermax-specialist.53350/post-817105) about the ones I'm running through at the moment, particularly the Super Stainless blades.
Tonight was a first run with the so-called SuperMax Super Stainless Blue (even labelled "Blue" on the pack) and while it bears the same corporate typography on the blade as the V(idyut) SuperMax Super Stainless (in the blue pack) it does actually say "Super Stainless" on the blade rather than merely "Stainless".
I believe it is the same blade as the corresponding blue pack blade in what I'm calling the legacy line as well as the green packaged Super Stainless in the current global line. It certainly felt the same as the other Super Stainless blades from the SuperMax house. What I think we're seeing is a succession of rebrands; more of a timeline than a confusion of markets, or whatever. That they all seem to exist at the same time is perhaps more down to just how many of these blades have been made.
Anyway, enjoyed ... and as per the others of the same ilk, it's a good, honest, workaday shave that pulled the same 8/10. Consistency does seem to be the key with these blades and to my face, they've felt good across three shaves. We'll see with this one.

And on the 14th February I present you the shave with the theme 'St Valentine's day massacre'
Razor - Occams Enoch
Blade - Kai Titan Mild
Brush - Steven Jagger 30mm Cashmere
Soap - Martin De Candre Rose
Scent - Czech and Speake No.88
A very flowery rose based shave and very apt to the day. Oh how I could wish my wife could have given me a bunch of roses to say 'I love you', but no, I got a fucking mop and bucket. And I ain't shitting you.
A top drawer soap with a top drawer brush and a top drawer razor as a way to an absolutely blindingly brilliant shave. This Enoch grows on you.
Superbly clean shaven and with the cleanest floors in the street. A truly massacred St Valentine's day
Have a lovely week ahead everyone and may everyone, friends, families and whoever else be healthy and well.
And I want you all to be my Valentine because I love every one of you. Have some Japanese girlies as a token gesture of my love.

Pre = Fitjar Island Charcoal Bar
Razor Feather AS-D2
Blade = Kai ( 2 )
Brush Yagi 24mm
Cream = Fitjar Islands Folgefonn
Balm = Nivea Replenishing Post Shave.
Splash = TOBS Eton College.
First Cold shave of the year for me
i keep forgetting how good they are
and when i say cold shave i mean freezing,
The water in Scotland is mighty cold at the minute it sometimes takes my breath away but i love it. ( Strangely ).
Second & Last use of the Kai for me i’m not getting along to well with it.
Don’t get me wrong it’s not the worst but for me it’s no better than a 5 possibly 6/10.
Maybe it’s just me i know people like it but nope it’s not for me
It’s been a couple of months since iv used this cream and to me it’s a 10/10, Everything about it is class, i can’t fault it in anything at all.
Having said that i’m unsure iv i would buy creams again due to them having use or sell by dates unless someone can tell me it’s not so big a deal.
Anyway not that good a shave really due to the blade but hey ho all the more reason to have another shave soon. Take Care Lads
