Some razors are silent some are really loud in terms of audible feedback they provide whilst carrying out their whisker cutting duty. The Jupiter I think sits in the middle giving you just the right amount so you know what you're doing. It may well be the brass but the tone it's quite pleasing. Shame three passes got me where I needed to be as I would have liked it to play a bit more

I'd like to add it is a fantastic photo.

Is the razor resting on an instrument of some kind? I'm not sure if it has 4 or 8 strings.

Thank you, I used my little one's play guitar as a prop. Latelty I'm finding myself rummaging quite often through her toy boxes

Artisinal April?

Tuesday 2nd April

Wickham 1912 Gothic Revival & Semogue 1250 Pure Bristle
KCG w/Yaqi Tsuka Handle & StarMaXx SMP-100 Superior Platinum (1)
Wickham's Gothic Revival Aftershave

Switching over to the SilverMax, no ... EuroMax, no ... StarMaXx SMP-100 Superior Platinum and again, the self-same catalogue number as the EuroMax and SilverMax monikers. It's the same blade as the EuroMax, that's for sure! Same feeling, same behaviour which I think I wrote of the EuroMax that it put me in mind of the (Gillette) Winner ... if the sport was glass knuckle boxing!

It's sharp! It's not enormously smooth and those first few strokes are like a playful tiger with just a hint that it might scratch ... but doesn't. The shave was plain sailing and I seem to recall the second will be quite pleasant. The second pass was very nice, so that does bode well for the next shave with it. Still, it's a 7/10 for me which is my baseline but doubt I'd buy in any quantity given I have so many other blades that run at higher figures and a mostly unused box of 100 EuroMax single side blades.

Gothic Revival was grimly fiendish! I do wish Trumpers would sort themselves out ...

Strange brew, shave

Prep - hot shower, lather face wash
Bowl - DSCosmetic green bowl
Soap - Knitsley Naturals handmade sandalwood shaving soap
Brush - DSCosmetic G7 Coffee
Razor - Muhle R89 Twist
Blade - Rapira Super Stainless (1)
Post - lather remains face wash, cold rinse, alum block
Splash - Forest Fresh ASL
Balm - Nivea Sensitive Cool PSB
Fragrance - CK IN2U EDT

Last time I used this soap it was hard to get going (both making and keeping a decent lather). However as an experiment I added a splash of Nivea Pro Liquid Shaving Soap and what an improvement. Loads of thick, creamy, slick lather which lasted and lasted! Had a great shave using a new Rapira blade (quite liking these - just as well seeing as they were a LaBarbiera deal on 100). The various lotions and potions combined to leave my face feeling and smelling wonderful.


I can’t think of anything to add, so I’m off back to sleep!
Oh, okay!

 

[TobyC]

It's you

I thought so!!!
