Travel shave. The weather has turned shite just in time for our arrival. The shower room in the caravan is also incredibly small which made for a cramped shave. It's that small I was in genuine fear of trapping the wee chap (who is a wee chap) in one of the doors in very close proximity.

I’m fairly sure if your we cheap is that we you’ll be in no danger of trapping it anywhere apart from your y fronts

Brush = Simpsons T3
Soap = OSP Urban Viking Sample
Splash = Nivea 2 Phase
Balm = Nivea Ultra Calming Balm
Decent enough shave but a bit of a non event really.
I enjoyed it enough & it was a decent shave but nothing exciting.
The Balm i found in a local supermarket in Vigra, Norway where i am and i can’t say i was impressed
it was far to thin,
Hopefully it was just the heat of my room that made it that way.
Never Mind off work tomorrow so it’s now movie time.
Stay Safe Boys & Girls & enjoy your weekends

Seygus Zeppelin 0.7/0.5 | Polsilver (2)​

​

The shave: best surprise I've had in a long time. As an SE shaver, I tend to get interested in an unusual or highly prized DE model and stay interested up till about the end of the first or second shave. I don't know if it's the slim blade, or the clamping mechanism—whatever—DE razors have left me feeling a bit unsatisfied ever since my first AC shave.​

​

Not so the Seygus...​

​

The Zeppelin is a solid-feeling, secure piece of kit, hefty at 125g, but balanced, with 45g in the head. Features two firsts for me: differing blade exposure and comb on each side (the 0.5 side is ridged), and a clamping mechanism that 'frowns' the blade.​

This might be what makes a good bit of the difference, because it shaves with a feel something like a heavy SE1, though the pivot is quite different.​

I did five passes, really taking my time after the first North-South pass, and testing out the two contrasting sides. First DE razor in a long time that got me looking out blades to try next. I have a Feather loaded for my Sunday morning indulgence.​

Cheers to @mrasparini - you were right: it is quite a sword...​

SOTD : 24th April 2022.



​

Shaving recipe for today.

Prep: Warm shower:/Asda Sea Salt & Fennel Extract 2 in1 Shower Gel.

Pre:
Cold wet flannel to my face.
Chantry Lavender Goat's Milk Bar Soap.
Brush: Omega 10077.
Face Lather.
Lather: Razorock "What The Puck? !"Lime Burst Shaving soap.
Blade: Feather Hi Stainless. (D2)
Razor: Muhle R89.

Post:
Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse./ Homemade (~Spring/Summer mix~) Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Essential Oils.3 Menthol Crystals Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./Cien Aqua ASL./Aloe Vera Gel./Milton Lloyd Essentials No9 EdP.

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

Another excellent smooth performance from the Feather Hi Stainless...My judgement & opinion of them on my second week of focus using them has went from being very undecided about them, to thinking they are an outstandingly smooth efficient blade...

I have mentioned before if i had to have only one DE Razor the Muhle R89 would be a very strong contender...I will always have a soft spot for the Muhle r89 & Merkur 34c as both razors helped me to develop my technique and gain my shaving confidence when i first started out. For that reason alone i will never part with either razor.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups comfortable shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd Essentials No9 EdP to the chest & pulse points.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay Safe, and enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.
