Whenever I shave with a lather catcher, I play a little game whereby I see if I can make a full pass without rinsing the lather from the razor. Today's lather was both thick and voluminous, and so I had to rinse quite frequently ... maybe 2/3 of a pass per rinse? I made two passes, just because it was so lovely.
 
A new week, a new day and a shave thematically named 'Another shave another planet'

Another Karaoke shave brought about by the recent 'What are you listening to thread'

I always shave my face
I look great and I really care about it
I can lather my swede and
Three passes remove the fluff and be proud about it

I think I'm having another shave with you
With you
I'm on another planet shave with you
With you

You get all over my skin
I don't find the Capra irritating
I always shave to win
But I won't need more defoliating, oh no

I think I'm having another shave with you
With you
I'm on another planet shave with you
With you

Another shave, another planet
Another shave, another planet

Blades sometimes cause my blood
There ain't nothing a styptic can't do about it
Days with bristles wear me out but
I know, I can't live without a shave oh no

I think I'm having another shave with you
With you
I'm on another planet shave with you
With you

Polsilver blade, who's loving you now?
A Tatara razor, who's holding you down
Another planet shave

The Emporium strikes back

'I was sold this by the Emporium. I mean, what fucking use is it?'

A wonderful shave with terrific end results and a planet sized grin. This Nodachi has become a firm favourite with me and has never delivered anything lesser than perfection with utmost comfort. A real stunner.

Hope your weekends are going well and everyone safe and happy. Likewise your families and friends.

I love you all

The Harpy's? Indeed they are

Soap Signature Soaps Eboracum
Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor Feather AC Clone Kamisori
Blade Feather Professional 2nd
Aftershave Yaqi Green Splash
Another nice soap with pleasant minty like ice-cream scent and a very satisfying creamy and slick lather...
Another great shave with the razor and blade combination. Somehow this blade is more crispier and efficient compared to the ProGuard. 2+passes for a bbs/dfs finish. The aftershave matches well with the soap.

I know i have been raving about the ERA, however, that shave has just knocked it out of the park. They did not get much wrong when they made the Karve SS razor, just as smooth as the ERA with a bit more feel.
Maybe i need to try the Level 4 to get that closer feel?
If anyone has a L4 plate for sale give me a shout.
Still testing positive this morning, that's 8 days in a row:eek:, still have a few "cold like" symptoms but not as heavy as earlier in the week.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

The quality of today’s shave was a bit sub par. The blade tugged a bit… ten, maybe twelve shaves in. That aside, a wonderful lather from the Danum soap, and, a reasonably smooth finish with the Vector. Blade binned.
