Monday 1st February
Embarking upon a month of fegan shaving soap in reflection of Veganuary, ironically breaking in a new boar which I'll be using exclusively for a month. I know that is a contradiction, but they do make for best of reflections. I'll also be using just Indian sub-continent blades (so, SuperMax, Vidyut, Lancet, Treet, etc ... but not Indian made Gillettes) and sticking to my Muhle Rocca predominantly, although may also work in the RazoRock German Slant and baseline these blades with my trusty 1950s Gillette Tech.
Onwards ...
French Pink Clay & Charcoal Soap
Wickham's 1912 South Sea Spray
Semogue SOC Butterscotch Boar
Muhle Rocca R95
Vidyut Super Platinum (1)
Pashana Original
Nice shave, that!
I have to confess that it is actually a bit of a mystery shave as I don't know specifically which blade it is as I was kindly sent it by
@donnie_arko as a single without tuck.
Is it this one, or this one?
... or even this one, which I have used recently and really enjoyed. It certainly felt like this one, but I have these and the inner sleeves are not the same:
It's Vidyut branded, so I think the first although googling that reveals simply "Platinum" on the blade and not "Super Platinum".
Either way, I enjoyed it! Sharp and smooth, single pass capable to my satisfaction. What's not to like? Let's see how the regrowth feels and whether I fall foul of my usual irritation after platinum blades.
EDIT:
I've found it! It's this one ...
