wee trip to stirling for the weekend.

I've only really used this stick on travels and it has served me well but it's down to a stub now. might need to push the remaining disc of what's left into a bowl soon. it gave me an outstanding lather this morning, as it always does, lathered up with a little scrubby travel brush and such an enjoyable scent.

I used my 40s tech handle with a modern super blue tech head and a Gillette sharpedge blade. this was such a great pairing. dolphin smooth result and no aluminium feedback or aftershave sting.

I didn't get a chance to shave yesterday and skipping a day usually helps as well. overall this was such an enjoyable, comfortable shave and close, smooth finish. I could be happy using a set up like this every day.
 
I don't use my limited supply of Spoiler blades often. They have in the past been a little harsh on my face but in the Fasan they have no such problem.
A first rate shave all round.


Rating: 5 / 5


Razor: Fasan Slant
Blade: Gillette Super Stainless "the Spoiler"
Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Amber Aerolite Stygian Synthetic

Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
Stirling Syn 26mm
P & B Citra Royale
Asylum Injector
NOS Schick Platinum- Holland ( 4 )
Alcolado Glacial A/S Splash

Messed up the lather today, so was very thin and disappeared very quickly and needed constant refreshing throughout the Shave.Not the nicest of Shaves, but eventually got a decent enough finish.

Taylor of Old Bond Street Traditional Shaving Soap & Muhle Silvertip Fibre 23mm
Lord L5 & Racer Super Stainless (2)
DR Harris Mayfair Toilet Water

Absolutely loving the Harris splash and so glad @isaiah53 found a supply and talked about it here. I've just secured a backup bottle. I get the strong citrus punch up front, but to my nose it settles to white florals and rose. Sumptuous!

IMG_4340.jpegAnother Day Another Shave and again i wasn’t really up for it but changed my mind at the last minute & thankfully i did.
A real great shave, Up there with the best of them which just goes to show money really doesn’t matter.
I think i picked this cream up in Brazil although i’ll assume it’s readily available.
i love the clean fresh scent.
I only wish Gillette would go back to making more razors
