SOTD : Saturday 30th October to Friday 5th of November of 2021.

Nov. 4, 2021
Second shave with Seaforth spiced sample - Lathers up with ease in the bowl, and nice scent - very spicy.
Personally I prefer the scent of the toner a bit more - got the same kick, however it's not as murky (the effect of soap being a medium). Nice, but wouldn't be my preference.

3 passes for near BBS all over the place - quite happy with that.

D plate seems to be nice as a daily shaver for me - aggressive enough to my liking, but also not overly, so I can still go on with autopilot mode.
One small weeper due to user error. Other than that - brilliant!
 
PreShave: Shower then Cube - unscented

Soap: HWF blend

Brush: RR 400

Razor: Tatara Masamune

Blade: Feather #1

Post Shave: Alum block - Cien - Aqua

DE Shave #38

First shave with the Masamune resulted in a beautifully smooth shave.

I am not a fan of Feather blades, I've tried them in four razors and they have drawn blood every time.

Although I prefer the scent of the HWF #3 none of them stood out to me, so to reduce the number of soap pots in my den I blended all three into one.

Gillette Flare Tip Rocket, Voskhod, ShedEleven Hand Carved Oak w/Oumo 2 Band Synthetic, Ach Brito Mogno, Benjamin’s Bay Rum, Astral

Lovely, close and comfortable shave with another favourite vintage Gillette and this glorious soap (thanks to @donnie_arko ). Must order more Voskhods as they really are very smooth with good sharpness. Matron approves. Have a good one, chaps.
