This is a really nice cream...smells good & a beautifully rich creamy lather from the excellent brush.
This razor is very good with a buttery smooth and softly keen edge...nice!!

Wow, what a super shave, everything was just perfect.
what a fab razor and blade, mild but efficient, the soap with its tallowy goodness and a brush that is a joy to hold and use.
I was left with perfectly smooth skin and a little spring in my step, shaving is a simple pleasure, a little bit of time for myself and because of this, for a moment I feel happy and all is right with the world.

Thank you @donnie_arko for the C&S soap, it's wonderful!

Until the next time, stay safe and shave happy!

Paul.

PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum
Cadman M55 Tuxedo
Mühle R101
Feather Hi-Stainless
Clubman Pinaud VIBR


This morning I chose the R101, a resin handled version of the R41. The 30mm Cadman produced a ton lather and felt fabulous. The R101 was efficient and quite comfortable after the new Feather bedded in. Two passes to smooth, but, I think very respectable after one. This is a capable little beast at a very reasonable price.

Prep: Face wash with Simple face wash
Pre: Bart’s Pre-Shave
Razor: Tatara Nodachi SB (Masamune top cap)
Blade: Gillette 7 o’clock – Yellow (1)
Brush: Muhle R89 - Hexagon (Forest Green) -Synthetic
S Cream: ES – Fragrance Free
Post: ES – Fragrance Free ASB

I'm in Nodachi territory now. Even with a negative exposure of -0.03mm the blade gap of 0.90mm does translate in a lot of blade feel (for me).
A cautious shave can be title of today's shave. Don't get me wrong no mishaps to report however that feeling of blade wanting to bite me at any time somewhat diminished the enjoyment. With more shave things should get more comfortable but there is no time for that. Onwards and upwards with the next combo.

Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead!
