When I first started SE shaving, I used the Feather Professional, but quickly moved onto the Kai Captain (Mild) Pink blade - I found the Feather to 'scratchy' and a tad aggressive.
I decided to give the Feather another try - wow; 2 excellent shaves on Friday and Saturday - very close to the best shaves ever. Friday's was possibly the best - a 2 pass shave - WTG, XTG face with WTG, ATG neck. A BBS finish, with no issues; a lovely shave - skin felt so good after.
I got greedy on Saturday - went for a 3 pass shave; no major issues, some irritation on my neck, which went away in 30 minutes. Dolphin smooth on Saturday.
SOTD Sunday 24 February 2019
Pre-shave: Cold water splash, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser, the Gentleman's Groom Room Pre Shave +.
Cream: Castle Forbes Lavender.
Brush: Muhle Fibre, Silver Tip Synthetic.
Bowl: Giles Shaving Co - Spotty Pedstal Wet Shaving Bowl.
Razor: Karve (C Plate).
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1).

Not much to shave off today - I wanted a mild shave, decided to load up the Karve (C Plate) - a very nice 2 pass shave. Great protective lather from the Castle Forbes - the Gentleman's Groom Room Pre Shave + is amazing - produces a nice protective layer - great skin care properties.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
All the best,
Chris
