Another lovely shave with the grippier handle on the Excalibur. The Cella hasn’t been used in a while and gave a lovely shave though not as slick as my other creams. Fully in with the AC razors love now, so I now will be looking for another for Christmas I guess!

Razor: Schick Type A Repeater
Blade: Schick Proline
Brush: Rubberset 400/Cashmere
Soap: WCS Campfire
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Speick
Fragrance: John Varvatos Dark Rebel
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,086

Prepping for hopefully camping in a couple days. I hope it comes thru and they don't cut the water off due to freezing concerns. I was hoping for my annual Camp Shave Video..........This soap is only adequate but the scent is KILLER good. Stirling Texas on Fire is a better quality soap and closest to this on scent. If it had the WCS scent it would be the ultimate for me. The A Repeater performed well but the Proline Injectors are rubbish to me. I LOVE their AC style blades but the Chinese Schick Injectors are much sharper and better than these tuggy things on my whiskers. Caught my 85 year old stepdad trying to pull his water heater that died yesterday and so today in between work I will go get a new one installed for him. Have a great day everyone !

A very pleasant, close and comfortable shave this morning. Any doubts about the efficiency of the Mühle brush were cast aside this morning with a copious lather from the SV soap.

New Forest High Mountain Badger - HWF#1 - DS-Z.o/Extra TEZ (carbon) - G.Bellini Homme EDT

Well the blades are not Extra Sharp. Even with the design and heft of the razor it took some work with 3 passes to complete the shave. Surprisingly the result was excellent.
I will probably use these as single shot shaves in my shavettes. I certainly would not risk more shaves in this razor

I really have been reaching just about for the Feather ASD2 and almost nothing else. It's just so damn comfortable, and a new Feather blade works so well with it. I think the slightly different angle is now second nature for me, and I can zip round quickly and enjoyably. I last used this exact combination back in May of this year, and I have just about finished the TOBS. Luckily a friend of mine bought me three tubs for my birthday, so I won't be running out soon.

Razor = 1969 Gillette Black Beauty ( 9 )
Blade = Polsilver ( Polish ) ( 2 )

Balm = Bay Rum By Executive Shaving
Another Cracker today

genuinely never thought my skin would take a shave everyday but it feels fine.
once i get back to Norway next week i’ll cut it down to every two days.
A lovely three pass shave and the soap was every i thought it would be,
another buy from Boycie’s Emporium.
OSP soaps have got to be up there with the best of them.
i would say definitely one of or thee favourites.
I cracked the Razor up to 9 and man it was class.
i did feel the second pass a bit tuggy
was it my technique or was it the blade i don’t know.
i dialled it down to 4 for the last pass and a significant improvement although i binned the blade after this shave & it’s only been used twice.
In all fairness as well although it was a great shave i dont think the soap, splash & balm matched scent wise but there you go sometimes i just like to mix n match.

Stay Safe Boys.
