Shave of the day. 8th Aug

Prep ~ Valobra Glicerlanolina soap
Razor ~ King Cobra
Blade ~ Proline
Soap ~ MdC Original
Brush ~ Thater - 4125/2 26mm ST
Post ~ Bart's - Lavender aftershave lotion
Scent ~ Crabtree & Evelyn - Lavender & Espresso EdT

My first shave with the King Cobra, with thanks to @mpf9ret (Mike)
It was a superb shave, smooth and super efficient leaving me with a perfect finish.
It shaved much like my Cobra Classic however the KC has a long super grippy handle that will remain secure even with wet soapy hands, a slight improvement over the Classic IMO.
It was a very enjoyable shave and the KC gets a thumbs up from me!
I will be using the original Martin De Candre for a week and using a different SE razor every day seeing as I have been neglecting them over the last couple of months.

Have a great day folks......P.

Thursdays Shave


Preshave : Heno De Pravia

Razor: Karve Solid Bar Plate D
Blade: Treat Black Beauty
Splash: Razorock Puros
Balm: Bart's Bergamot and Vanilla

A great shave and a few new things to try, first outing with a Treat Black Beauty , I really like the feel of uncoated blades , my only other experience with them is some Vintage 60 year old plus ones and these are definitely sharper. Will be interested to see if they are good for a second shave.

The MDM Cadman Brush I am really enjoying , I have only had this a little while and the more I use it the more I like it.

Another New Item was the Puros Splash and the Tobacco Scent to my mind sits very Nicely with the Intense Oud EDT.

Sat at my desk with a wonderful scent and incredible face feel from the MDC Soap. Happy Days
 
8/8/19

Brush - Yaqi Plissoft
Soap - 3P
Razor - Ball End Tech
Blade - Shark Super Chrome (1)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Superdrug Forest Fresh

A very satisfying feeling to finish my 50g sample of 3P in today's shave, a soap I enjoyed using.

In today's shave I revisited another blade I'd not used in a while, this time around it was the Shark Super Chrome. It's sharper than the Shark Super Stainless, but it's not the smoothest blade out there. It felt a bit rough to the face for quite a lot of the shave and felt a fair amount more burn than usual when I put the splash on post shave.
 
Thur 8th Aug.
Omega 11126 boar
Cyril Salter Solid Soap
Occams V2-No3 plate
Kai CTM-Pink [ 4 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

Though I am a lover of heavier AC/SEs, I am rather taken aback at the quality of Shave that I am getting from this rather lightweight/ odd looking razor. Even when using a comparatively mild blade I am getting quick quality Shaves, as good as I get from my other AC/SE Razors.

Thursday morning

Cyril R. Salter's Tallow
RazoRock BC Silvertip 24mm synth
Face lather
Geo. Ibberson & Co. (1920s)
Supermax stainless steel
Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Fine Snake Bite after shave

Third outing for the Supermax, and I don't think I'll be able to squeeze another out; as I had to work a bit harder to get a smooth finish around the chin.

I continue to enjoy using the Ibberson clone of a Gillette Old. It is just a few grammes lighter than the original; but performs very similarly. If I had to choose, I'd say the Old is just that bit keener; but there are variables - different blade; technique; amount of stubble and so on. A fine razor, though, and definitely a keeper.

I feel privileged to own such a variety of shaving history. Knowing I'm the latest in what will be a vast number of users of these razors is quite humbling.
