Greetings,

(Face & Head shave)

Early morning Shave,

It's been a while since i last done a head/dome shave using the FaTip Grande so out of curiosity this morning I've gave the Gillette guard a break.

The difference in aggression and blade feel in the Fatip to the Gillette guard is considerably more however, after the first few stroke I found my shaving angle & felt comfortable, using the lightest of touch the Fatip mowed through my head/dome stubble with effortless ease feeling smooth & efficient.

Using the Fatip this morning I had to focus more doing the head shave which took longer to do than with the Gillette guard which wasn't an issue for me as I look forward to my head and dome shaves plus the finishing result using the Fatip was super close & smooth with no nicks or irritation.

The Eco Warrior soap bar provided a wonderful slick lather rubbing it directly into my stubble like a shave stick, then started to build up a lather with my damp Semogue 1470 adding water to the tips of the brush to get the lather to the consistency that I prefer.

Another enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

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

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

Brush: MOAR Boar
Soap: NO Logbook
Razor: Blackland Tradere SB
Blade: Wizamet
Post: NO Logbook AS & EDP

Nice comfortable shave, the SB plate is very smooth, combined with logbook leaves me both smooth and smelling good. It's unfortunate that these NO EDPs don't last long, I've got EDTs that last longer, but they still smell good.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

Tuesday 17 October

Gillette seems to have produced only one Bakelite de razor, albeit the cap is metal. This is a Tech, made in England and Mr Razor shows one example, a French set from 1940. Like all Gillette Techs that I have used it gives an excellent and comfortable shave. Why Gillette chose to make this particular Bakelite version I can’t imagine. It’s very light weight but then so is a metal Tech. At least it takes a normal de blade unlike the Bakelite Wardonia.
Sadly this mornings experience was marred somewhat by the rubbish shave stick that I recently purchased. The lather was hopeless, weak and insipid, dying on my face before I had put the brush down and picked up the razor. As for its Aloe Vera base, even this seemed non existent as my face was quite quite irritated afterwards. As was my post shave demeanour. Not to be recommended, the stick has been consigned to the bin.
Enjoy the day fellas!
