Prep ~ Shower, Mysore Sandlewood Soap
Razor ~ Hone Type 15
Blade ~ KAI Stainless
Soap ~ LPL Oud Santal
Brush ~ SOC Badger
Post ~ Antica Barbieria Colla Aprcot Aftershave
Scent ~ Guerlain Santal Royal EDP
Wow, what a shave, the KAI blade is the blade that for me works best in the Hone and together they gave me a superb shave.
The LPL soap with tallow is outstanding, really slick and protective and although the non tallow LPL soaps are great this tallow version is way better.
The Santal Royal EDP from Guerlain was the perfect finnish.
Wishing you all a happy Monday.......P.
After trying many blades the KAI blades win hands down, I clean my Hone with toothpaste and a toothbrush, I did leave it for a year but my OCD got the better of me!Paul, the KAI blade sounds a good shout in the Home - I will give that a try.
Looking at your SOTD photo - do you polish/brass your Hone?

Did that blade come from a pack of three? P.Monday 22nd January 2018

Very close and smooth shave, but some serious irritation, not sure of the cause, I suspect a tad too much pressure after using the Occam's Razor which takes a bit of pressure. Thankfully it faded after about 30 mins.

No I got 50 of these loose from another TSR member, plus I have some similar ones that came loose, or at least individually packaged. They were giveaways from petrol stations, Total if I recall.Did that blade come from a pack of three? P.
Ok, that's interesting, petrol stations will give just about anything away!No I got 50 of these loose from another TSR member, plus I have some similar ones that came loose, or at least individually packaged. They were giveaways from petrol stations, Total if I recall.
