The Raptor works out as a very efficient lather catcher. Very impressed with the result today. Lovely shave.

It’s not my favourite razor, as I don’t like the feel of the angled blade on my face, especially when I ride the cap to clean up around my mouth, but it was next up in my wander through my collection.

I had a not bad shave with the 37C. The third use Voskhod and the excellent MWF helped ameliorate the blade feel, although I had an ingrown hair on the jaw and neck to content with. Still, I'd give it an 8.25 / 10.

But I have a special razor lined up for the next shave and a new brush, one Jimi would have enjoyed.

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves.

Razor: Merkur 37C
Blade: Voskhod (3)
Soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Brush: Stirling Butterscotch BB
Pre-shave: Proraso White
Post-shave: Aqua Velva Musk
Bowl: Face Lather
 
SOTD 27-Apr

Prep: Warm shower
Brush: Razorock Monster
Razor: Razorock Hawk SS V3 'A'
Blade: Kai 'Pink'
Soap: Mitchells Wool Fat
Post: Baxter of California After Shave Balm

My old favourite, MWF, still a good performer even if it doesn't make it into my rotation as often as the 'fancier' efforts.

Well I gave up on the Proguard blades, just could not get on with them. So next up are the Kai Pinks, have to say a lot better but again I think I might dial it up a bit after I've given these a chance.

First outing with the Baxter Balm, the number of times I've seen these mentioned I think we as a forum are taking all of Amazon's stock. Not bad at all though, calmed down a tiny bit of irritation after I got a bit heavy handed on my neck.

Have good one all!

Cheers

Stirling Syn 26mm
MWF
Supply V1/ V2- 3dot
Personna S/S ( 3 )
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

The last 3 Shaves with The Supply has proved to me that The Personna Blade works well in it. With other blades I find it’s performance a bit lacklustre, with The Personna very good.

• TDS Menthol
•3D Printed Bowl
• Zenith Synthetic
• Timeless Aluminium
• GSB (1)
• Floid Mentolado Vigoroso




Second sample donated by @Boycie83 - TDS Menthol.
Same excellent performance as Semyonich and Lavender & Resin.
I wouldn't ordinarily use a menthol soap unless the weather was a fair bit warmer than today, but I was inquisitive.
Post shave feel is good too.

Have some Roger Waters on me . . .

Wonderful shave this evening..every time I get my Thiers Issard Evide Sonnant 6/8 out I fall in love with it all over again..it’s an excellent little shaver and nicely accompanied by some of the more basic products, it’s nice to go back to these sometimes just makes you realise what a lovely finish can be achieved without the need for expensive products. Feeling super smooth and refreshed !
