SOTD : Saturday 3rd April to Friday 9th April 2021.

Sun 4th April.

RR 400. SE-Plissoft noir
Arko Stick-grated
Gem Micromatic original
Gem S/S [ 1 ]
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

I have found the TNNSER-3D Razor to be a great performer, but recent Shaves with it have improved my lightness of touch. This has proved to be a great asset in todays Shave with the Micromatic, which I had not used for a while. I found it very easy to use it with a light touch and got what was my best ever Shave with the OC, even with a fresh blade all was smooth and with ease I got a super close Shave.I am actually thinkin that contrary to popular opinion The OC is not a harsh/aggressive Razor to use, all down to the way it is used.

I'm digging the Karve now. This C plate gets me a nice comfortable finish in two passes. Not sure on the CH2 brush though - it may have a bit too much backbone for me.

@jphelan81 - some of this look familiar?

Razor handle is too long, brush loft is too short, have a wonderful Easter my friend. (y)

DFS+ achieved in 3 passes at cost of one weeper!
After a session of breaking in the new and my first badger brush, decided to give it an outing today. Definitely an impressive brush - I think it’s my new favourite!

Soap performed well, but it seems like I’m a bit nose blind - some of the Italian soaps (this one, razorock too) smell to me a bit on weak side. Might end up putting them on BST - I’m a fan of stronger scented soaps.

Finally getting to grips with ikon B1 slant - felt more efficient this time, providing close and comfortable shave in 2 passes. 3rd pass took it to DFS+ level.
Finished off with splash of brut AS and Ben lomond balm.

Razor: Rockwell 6S plate R4

Esplendido y fantastico! A stonker of a shave. Looking forward to seeing my neice and sister today. A happy Easter to all. Enjoy the rest of the holiday.

Gillette Sputnik again today, once again an epic shave in the RR GC .84 SB

This Sputnik today has produced a real FFS/BBS shave, the 3 passes were effortless and the blade fell very safe/confident to use, zero nicks and no razor burn :)

Off now to cut way too much lawn, its all about a ft high, gonna be a killer, my own fault for putting it off :)

Have a good Sunday all.

I am devastated that my balm didn’t make it into shot Joe but then again it is fair to stay that there are quite a few components to that shave! You will be needing a wide focus lens next :)
