Another very nice comfortable shave with the MDFRITW Rocnel SE-P, i decided to try and make him a bit more eye catching by adding the Blackland Dart Handle, @RussellR5555. at the end of the day he doesn't half deliver. 3 passes for a BBS comfortable shave.
A nice face Lather with the Jayaruh #355 and pro green ( the soap label was swapped to a re used super-drug AS 100ml bottle to decant the large bottle into as and when i need it).
Stay safe All and enjoy your day.
The Chap is a gentleman's magazine in the UK which has it's own small range of Shaving equipmentI have no idea what any of this product line is, but to quote Varucca Salt ‘I want it now!'
A traditional looking design, classic gear, a gent in a fedora ( why not a bowler? )
And it's called the chap! Could you tell me a little bit about it?
Good show all the way ‘round.
Absolutely Tony , I am just messing , if the shave is good an you like it that is what really counts. RussYou know me Russ, i love quirky.
Yes I do the same thing. I have probably 10+ Blades on rotation similarly with the razors, brush and soaps/creams. Some blades works better in some razors and some don't. That's the fun of it...trying different combos and pairings.23/3/2020

Does anyone else keep a few different blades with a number of different shaves on them opposed to just using the same blade continuously? I'm generally off the former and usually seem to always have a stack of partly used blades which I like to rotate in use like I do my razors/soaps. For a change, I decided to use up my existing partly used blades (which seemed to take forever) and just use the one blade continously.
As I picked up a few weepers in yesterday's shave I went for one of the milder blades in my stocks, a Voskhod which seemed like it wasn't really removing much growth for the first pass but seemed to get there in the end for results by the end of the 2nd/3rd passes.
The lather wasn't the best, I seemed to need quite a lot of soap to get it going but I am approaching finishing the jar which if I manage to do I may end up weeping tears of joy.
Anyway chaps, I hope you have a good start to the week.
Years ago - I challenged a flatmate - then a junior journalist for a local weekly paper - to try and get some proper filth past the subeditors - a challenge he took up with alacrity - and didn't ruin his career remarkably - I shan't name him - he went on to be an award winning journalist - our favourite - in a piece about an antique auction in a church hall - a notable item was - 'a beaver muff - with matching stole,' - next best - in a TV review - 'oiling the hippo,' - and low - a euphemism was born. Ha ha - I.And likewise here with the meaning.
