SOTD: Saturday 24 February - Friday 1 March 2024.

I was going to continue with the Razer Professional from yesterday but it rusted in the razor.
I will try another one soon; tonight I went with the Dura Sharp and got an acceptable shave. Face was close but not many areas on the neck against the grain. I was able to do several passes without irritation and the end result is average.
I wonder how many shaves I'll get and if it will rust in the razor like the Razer. Once I know what they're like under usual lazy conditions I will consider either isopropyl alcohol, oil or just binning after the first shave.

Rating: 3.5 / 5

Razor: Gillette Mk. I Adjustable 195 'Fatboy' (1960)
Blade: Treet Durasharp
Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Amber Aerolite Stygian Synthetic

Brush: M7 Manchurian
Soap: P&B Spitfire
Razor: Koraat 14-2.0
Post: P&B Spitfire AS & Solid Cologne

Finished up with the Carbon passaround on ATG yesterday so now it's time for a new setup. Opted for the Koraat this morning along with Spitfire.

Spitfire was one of the first soaps I picked up, that was before this whole thing turned into an addiction, and I still like it was much as I did the first time around. Sure it takes me a little more work than other soaps out there, but the scent is hard to beat for me.

Cracking smooth finish and smelling great.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

Managed to squeeze in another shave this week and a cracker it was.
The scent on this could be stronger but i like it all the same.
