SOTD : Saturday 4th July - Friday 10th July 2020

Pre- hot shower
Cream- tobs sandalwood
Razor- Merkur progress
Blade- voskhod (1)
Brush- Trafalgar t3
Post- Cold water splash
A/S- Cella
Balm- Nivea cream

Broke out the Progress today for the first time in ages. Paired well with the fresh Voskhod. 3 passes and small touch up. Beautiful smooth shave. Forgot how good the Progress is. Don't use it more because the adjustment knob is not aligned correctly and my OCD hates it but it's a great razor.

Wash with Ach Brito Glyce
Lather up with Barbus Classic & Haryali Synthetic (22mm)
Shave with Gillette Tech (Late Model) & EuroMax (1)
Single pass
Wash off and pat in a touch of Prep Cream​

The EuroMax is a new blade to me. Reputed to be SuperMax (Platinum?) under a new guise, it's difficult to tell from the first shave but I considered it a pretty middling blade, which I did the SuperMax Platinum off the first shave. It started to smooth out during the first shave. The SuperMax Platinum came into its own on the second shave, being very smooth indeed ... let's see tomorrow.

Enjoyed, though ...

I don't claim to know alot about wet shaving as I'm relatively new to all this, but one thing I do know is the below setup has given my my best shave to date.

Closeness of shave was excellent, irritation pretty much non existant and skin felt great afterwards.

Pre‐ Hot shower
Brush- Chubby2 BB
Blade- Feather
Razor- Rockwell 6c plate 4
Soap- Cella Bio
A/S balm- L'Occitane

Have a good night everyone.

Final shave with the V2 before it heads back to its owner. I really like this razor. I like its weight, its smoothness and its cannon handle. I'll certainly be adding one of these to the den in the future.

The John Frum CK6 is a great soap. Lather was really slick and a really complex scent - nope, can't describe it.
