The Kai shavette is not really seen in SOTD's much lately, I find its is a crackin little razor and shaves very much like the Feather DX although a little more forgiving, for me it sits between the SR and DX.
Fitted with a new Pro-Guard its has given me a very close comfortable shave from 2 passes and a touch up on the whirlpools. All other items provided a fantastic supporting cast.
Spot on that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Tuesday 29th August



TFS RasoZero Agrumella Shaving Soap & Omega 10108 Pure Bristle
Ever-Ready 1912 Bathroom Set & GEM by Personna (Stainless/PTFE) (4)
Akcay Tutun Kolonyasi

Glorious!

Hitting the sweet-spot for the GEM blade, four shaves in, I got a near perfect single pass shave which needed only one or two touch-ups. The TFS soap is lovely - practically the same formula as the Traditional Line but the lemon scent is quite different from their older yellow tub. The scent is really light, uplifting and almost powdery; akin to the citrus undertones of Wickham's Club Cola. Delicious!
 
SOTD: 29/08/2023

Razor: Rex Konsul
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue, 3rd use
Brush: Leonidam Sapphire Manchurian Badger
Bowl: Captain’s Choice Bowl
Preshave: Executive Shaving Fuar Ach Snog Oil
Soap: Executive Shaving Cedarwood and Citrus Cream
Aftershave: Fine Snakebite Aftershave
Balm: Executive Shaving Cedarwood and Citrus Balm
Fragrance: Guerlain Vetiver EdT

First use of the Executive Shaving Cedarwood and Citrus Cream (or any ES cream for that matter)

Gave the face a cursory wash with Fuar Ach Snog and then enjoyed a long hot shower.

The ES cream lathered effortlessly and the scent filled the room. A thick, yoghurty lather was ready in minutes.

It’s hard for me to overstate just how similar this stuff smells like Guerlain Vetiver. I have an original 1960s bottle and it pairs perfectly with it scent wise.

The Konsul made short work of the three days growth, however the GSB felt a little rougher than it should have on its third shave. Perhaps three days and three shaves is fine, but if the blade is sitting longer I shouldn’t push past two.

Quick splash of Fuar Ach Snog and a single pump of the Cedarwood and Citrus balm. More of that wonderful scent and an excellent soothing effect. I might pick up an unscented version for general use.

A very pleasant shave



 


Shave #2 on the Indian V12 Platinum blade. I'm still impressed with it so far. It seems to be perfectly capable providing a smooth and comfortable shave. I shaved all last week with Gillette 7 O'clocks so I'm enjoying the milder experience of the V12. Of course, there's a bit of trade off as the V12 is no where as brutally efficient as the Gillettes. C'est la vie

Not much to say about Cella. It just works, and works well. I'm not a giant fan of the almond scent, but it's certainly not unpleasant and the performance is superb.

I ended the shave with some Clubman Vanilla AS.
