Revisited a St Petersburg Gillette Platinum blade recently, and was pleasantly surprised.
Hence, pulled out a fresh Silver Blue from the back of the drawer for a similar outing.
No dice - it remains a sworn enemy.

Last night's shave:
First try of the Razer and I gave this a go in the Pearl Flexi initially but found this a little too harsh for my skin today.
Switched to the Fatboy and got a good but not excellent shave.
Some areas very good but a few patchy bits.
I'll try this razor and blade combo again after letting the stubble grow and the skin recover a bit more next time. This is because yesterday's shave was a bit of a hodge-podge.

Now finished the Lider lotion. A decent and cheap lotion with a faintly medicinal scent. Was happy to get through the bottle but not too fussed about getting another.

Rating: 3.5 / 5


Razor: Gillette Mk. I Adjustable 195 'Fatboy' (1960)
Blade: Razer Professional
Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Amber Aerolite Stygian Synthetic
Lather: Trumpers GFT
Aftershave: Lider Classic lotion

SV Desert Vetiver
Simpson M7
T.Turton & Sons 11/16
A&E Khalifa splash

That's about my favourite set up, T.Turton in ivory, and SV with the Simpson badger all working perfectly together.

It’s been a tough couple of weeks in Angola
working 14 hour days in a mosquito infested jungle.
iv been here 2.5 weeks & only shaved 3 times
Basically once per week which isn’t any good.
Shouldn’t complain i guess.
The only thing keeping me going is decent coffee which i brought over
Enjoy the rest of the week
Adios

pretty good shave with this nacet on its second shave in an R41 but it already scraped and burned on the last cleanup pass. not sure why. might just be a bad pack because nacets seem to be really highly rated by most. I'm going to try a third shave but I might regret it.
