Bit of a weird shave this one
3 Weepers all on the second pass,
One worse than the other two.
The reason i’m saying weird is i had two weepers the last time i used the Blue Tip.
On the worst weeper i actually felt it tugging
i’m unsure if it was the blade or the razor but i guess i’ll find out the next time i use the blade.
Hygge soap is a wonderful Barbershop scent although i’m actually unsure what barbershop smells like as i have 4 barbershop scents and they are all different lol.
The Scent is superb so if that’s what Barbershop is then i’m pleased.
It made sense to use the Barbershop brush what he was a recent BST Purchase
Onwards & Upwards
Stay Safe Boys & Girls

Razor Gillette RFB
Blade Persona X Series 13th use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Phoenix&Beau Spitfire Splash
Nice enough soap with a light pleasant scent. The lather is really slick too...
The shave with this razor paired with the well-used blade was amazingly good. Unbelievably, the blade is still crisply keen, smooth, and comfortable for all 3passes without any issues resulting in a dfs++ finish. The aftershave kinda matches the soap & smells wonderfully mechanical...hahaha!

SOTD 19-May
20220518_115026.jpg
Brush: C&H 'Longtown' V11
Soap: WK Vor V
Razor: Blackland Era OC (5)
Blade: GSB (2)
Post: WK Vor V Tonic, Balm & EDP

Still not a massive fan of this OC but it does give a decent finish. Just doesn't feel as smooth as some of my others, I'll keep trying though. The software set more than makes up for it, may have to try the alcohol splash over the tonic at some point.

Refreshed and ready for the day ahead, hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Tuff Red A/S Lotion

With Two days growth to clear, initial clearance indicated that short strokes and no rush was the order of the day. This little Razor delivers quality Shaves though it took me some time to get used to it , but understand other users also had problems.
