Razoock Syn. 24mm
P & B Spitfire
Gem Micromatic
Gem S/S [ 5 ]
P & B Spitfire A/S Splash

Though not a relaxed Sunday shave, there is no doubt that treated with respect the original Micromatic is going to deliver an excellent Shave. In fact I found it to be a more comfortable Shave than the one with a Starling yesterday.

Yesterdays shave and very nice it was.

I've been using the progress a fair bit recently and it's a great little razor.

Murphy and McNeil Triskele
Semogue Owners Club Cherrywood Boar
RazoRock Gamechanger .84
Polsilver Super Iridium
Humphreys Witch Hazel

Another day, another shaving soap gifted to me by @Boru62, and another excellent lather. Triskele is an interesting take on the barbershop theme. It reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it. Aramis Tuscany? Have a good day gents.
Cheers Kevin.

Cold Water Shave
Vitos Preshave Cream
OSP Grapefruit and Menthol Shaving Soap
Semogue 'Taj' Badger/Boar Brush
Gem Featherweight Razor with a Treet Carbon Blade
Mentholated Witch Hazel
Dove Moisturiser
Epsilon Blue AS

The Treet blades give a good shave....but it is a little off putting how quickly the main body of the blade tarnishes despite a coating of Ballistol. I don't think I will be restocking.
3 passes for a perfect finish and it is off to the Hay Festival for a talk on the D-Day Landings!

Smooth and efficient shave from the Game Changer razor, cushion and slickness from the Simpson's shaving cream, and a great little shaving brush. Good stuff.

Pre shave Prep: Pears Transparent
Brush: Razorock 400
Soap: Stirling Lime
Blade: Kai Captain Pink (8)
Razor: Blackland Vector
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Barts Lime Oil
Aftershave: Barts Lime Oil, 1912 Citrus Musk

A great shave with a sharp lesson.
A great 3 pass shave with the vector this morning, everything worked well and I believe the blade is now done, I don't want to push another shave and spoil the experience. 8 shaves from 1 blade, I am happy with that.
The sting in the Tail.
I dismantled the razor for cleaning and was sure the blade was in the head so started to rinse the cap, i took about a 5 pence piece size of bark from my thumb, the blade was actually in the cap. School boy error. What a plonker.
Note:- Totaly dismantle the razor and bank the blade before cleaning. Hopefully it will stop bleeding soon and i can get this big roll of tissue tape wrapped bandage off.
Have a great day all.

I didn't feel it as such, just saw the skin flap. I have no pain just a blood splattered bathroom to clean. Plus thumbprint cannot be used for opening phone.

Pre - Soap Free Face Wash
Razor - Gillette Aluminium Tech
Blade - Treet Classic (1)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Omega 10075
Post - Witch Hazel
Balm - Nivea Cooling Kick
AS - Benjamins Bay Rum Mentholated

First time using the Treet Classic, a carbon steel blade which I think has the same grind as the Treet Black Beauty albeit without the black colouring on the blade faces. Like one might expect it's not a very sharp blade, but an incredibly smooth one and one that with the aluminium handled Tech produced a superb shave. Ok, the combination of a very mild blade in a mild razor might not seem like a great one but I think it's all about getting the right angle dialled in, and for a Tech in particular if the technique is right then it produces great results near enough every time.

Second shave with the Omega 10075 and any problems I might have had with the brush holding lather were long gone, it managed to hold a comfortable 3 passes of lather without the slightest bit of bother. I was really surprised at how well the brush has 'broken in' just by it's second shave, really pleased with the brush so far.

Best of luck managed to get in 3 passes without any cuts, nicks or weepers! Absolutely delighted!

Ouch! You're not the first to make that error.
