SOTD : Saturday 13th March to Friday 19th March 2021

A Monday morning shave.

I was surfing AliExpress last night, which is always a dangerous thing to do, and reminded myself that I had bought the Weishi "Super Speed" 9306-C from there. For a £6 razor including shipping, it’s brilliant value and gives a damn fine shave as well.

So I had an excellent shower shave with this lot, and it was an efficient and comfortable shave with the razor, blade and soap combination. It goes to prove you don’t need to spend hundreds of pounds on expensive razors in order to have great shaves. Although obviously I have. ☺

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves.

Razor: Weishi "Super Speed" 9306-C
Blade: Israeli Crystal (3)
Soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Brush: Stirling Butterscotch Flat Top BB
Pre-shave: None - shower shave
Post-shave: Trumper’s Lime Cologne
Bowl: None - face lather

Close, comfortable two pass shave this morning with the Katana, accompanied by a fresh lemony fragrance from the Signature Soaps Hibernia. These soaps are excellent, thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction...again.

Very nice,
The V2 plate on this razor was hand reworked by Paul @Blademonkey to up the efficiency from the original, apparently too mild for use, i believe Paul reduced the length of the leading edge to bring the blade forward a touch. I find it just right for me, efficient and so forgiving.

3 passes for a BBS comfortable finish. The post shave routine leaving me soft and supple and smelling pretty good to boot.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

The pointy blade corners don't bite? They're not rounded like a DE or injector blade, would have been covered by blade stops on a vintage razor.
 
Just had a lovely shave with some of my favourites to accompany my newly acquired Dovo master’s...it’s quite a weighty razor and I really like that about it ! Gave me a wonderfully smooth shave thank you @RussellR5555 super happy almost want to shave again the next shave can’t come quick enough it’s a beauty that I’m really going to enjoy. Feeling smooth and refreshed !064FB759-8074-4058-AB65-A9290CC4B615.jpeg

I am probably laughing at myself in reality. And it is anyone posting an SOTD gets a free laugh this week.

And I did like your suggestion of Lab Gorse so you are top of my list this week.
