​
A fifth good shave from the Treet blade, but I think it will be the last. It was noticeably duller than the first shave in the Blackland razor. Nonetheless a very good performance from a modestly priced blade. I’m certainly happy to use it in my more efficient razors regularly in the future.

RR 400. SE Plissoft noir
MWF
Schick J3 Hydromagic 500
NOS Schick Super Platinum ( 4 )
GB Grey Flannel A/S Lotion

A nice start to this Injector rotation with the Schick J3. These NOS Dutch blades are really good, and they help deliver a smooth comfortable Shave with a super close finish.

 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: H.L. Thäter 3-band Silvertip Badger
Soap: Moon Soaps Old School
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna P74 (12)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Historic Brands Embargo Blend No. 2.5 Aftershave Lotion
Scent: Portus Cale Black EdT

Another new soap for me, and another pearler. Easy to lather and very good performance, with a delightful scent. To my nose, it is Squadron Group Captain's Blend meets Stirling Barbershop; very warm and inviting. The Embargo Blend aftershave was also a winner - strong alcohol notes with tabacco, mellowing into a woody vanilla finish.

Enjoyable and leisurely use of my new Chubby 1. I tried a Chubby 2 early in my journey and I didn’t enjoy the brick of badger feeling. I think the knot to loft ratio on that is way off, particularly for the density it possess. This however, is much more to my liking. I will be using it for an extended run in order to get well acquainted, as I had to go back to the tub for the last pass.

Enjoy yours chaps.
 

Happy birthday
