I've switched back to the C for a little while, not quite sure if the D is just a little too much25/08/2021

The SB-D plate is a winner for me - just like its brass counterpart. A nice easy shave this morning. The Yaqi soaps have performed admirably but the scents aren't for me.
I tend to shave every 36-48 hours Joe so I get away with marginally more aggressive plates. I find they work better for my skin and two pass shaves.I've switched back to the C for a little while, not quite sure if the D is just a little too much
Good to hear the twig & special are doing the business for youView attachment 75917
This afternoon - the picture for @Satanfriendly - see end note.
razor - Twig - what else?
blade - Lodz Polsilver (5 and out)
brush - Simpson Special best badger
soap - Kent hard tallow - aka stealth MWF
post - witch hazel
a/s - Vitos Tabacco
balm - none needed
scent - The Essence Vault - 481.
All good - I shaved two days in a row - well done me. Continuing Twig testing - I'll do ten shaves with it - half way there - and then come to a conclusion. I'm pretty sure which way the verdict is going to fall though. The next five shaves might give me time to think of something negative to say. The - newish to me - small Simpson - 18mm knot - is continuing to open out a treat - it holds a surprising large amount of water for something of such diminutive stature. Lesson learned. Perfect for face lathering - precise and with a pleasant scritch. Enjoy - fellow shavers - one and all - wherever you are at in your journey - if at an early stage - don't worry - you'll get there - and it will give you back more than you put in - other than money, obviously. - I.
* the picture - Linnaean classification - genus - Wombilae - species - avunculi magni bulgaria - I couldn't find a glove-puppet of the extremely rare cross breed with gallus gallus . I tried my best - not a gif in sight? Thank - insert the name of your favourite deity. Access to a cornucopia of glove-puppets might sound a bit sinister but I would like to point out among my partner's myriad talents, is that she is a children's story teller. She has a cupboard full of them - all manner of things - Noah's fucking ark - except she has only one of each. Yes - I'll save you asking - she does have a beaver - always makes me laugh. Looking at the picture though - I think the caption might read: 'Great Uncle Bulgaria realised too late that munching all those pills Tomsk found on the Common might not have been the best idea.' 'Madame Cholet! - Madame Cholet - Leftfield now! - this could get heavy. I totally love all Wombles. Give me a hug Tobermory.'
Poor old Uncle Bulgaria hasn't been overground since he was attacked by a flock of fearsome Psittacula krameriView attachment 75917
