SOTD: Saturday 6 January - Friday 12 January 2024.

Quite a nice shave today, been enjoying a change of DE from the vintage and fatips I have been using.

Pearl Blaze
Oumo Badger (HMW Silk Knot)
Bluebird K7
Gillette Perma Sharp Super (1)
Nivea balm

Simple shave, good results, enjoyed it that much I went for a third tidy up pass, something I rarely do.

Enjoying the Pearl Blaze as it just does the job, I am tempted to add the Pearl Hammer to the collection after a bit of review reading and procrastination first.

Stay well all.
 
Razor = Parker Injector
Blade = Gillette Platinum Plus ( 1 )
Brush = Alpha 400 Travel Synthetic
Soap = Signature’s Londinium Sample
Splash = Myrsol Blue
Balm = Loccitane Cade
After receiving the Parker on loan from @NotTheStig along with some blades & some soap samples from Signature this could only be the shave for me.
I do have have 4 Signature soaps but i definitely need this one in my life,
And top drawer and for me pretty much unrivalled scent wise.
I could quite easily use it exclusively if i had to,
Signature is definitely in my top 5 with this scent being right at the top of the tree.
The Parker i’m in two minds about,
i’m unsure if it’s the razor or the blade i wasn’t so keen on.
i say that but i had a great 3 pass shave with zero issues so it’s weird for me to say there’s just something that wasn’t quite right.
i’ll use the same blade in my Pal injector & see how i get on there.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the razor or the blade but there’s just something i’m not sure of.
Until Tomorrow
Stay Safe

A wonderfully comfortable, close shave with the Feather razor. This is a razor that just works, for me, undoubtedly mild but still sufficiently efficient to do a good two pass shave. The lather was good too.
 


My Shave today consisted of...

Prep Hot shower with Signature soaps shower scrub.
Brush Yaqi lucky dice.
Soap Geo F Trumpers Rose.
Razors Occam's O.R.E.N & Gillette Raz=r
Blade Feather Pro Super.
Bowl Captains Choice Obsidian Copper.
Aftershave Jean paul gaultier Scandal.

Final shave today with this blade as I have noticed a considerable drop in it's sharpness.
A great shave and time to break out the Scandal and smell amazing.
Have a great day ahead everyone.

Brush: Highlander Chubby
Soap: HoM Beloved
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Wizamet

Quick change to the setup for the week. My collection of brushes is heavy on the naturals, but I got a hankering (no idea why) to pick up a new synthetic and I was eyeballing some of the Simpson efforts, specifically the Colonel in sovereign as I love the Best version. Be interested to hear if anyone has given one a bash though.

Luckily though I managed to reign myself in a little. Took a gander at what I had in hand and decided upon the infinitely capable Highlander. I suspect it doesn't have as much splay as the Colonel might give (but who knows). Regardless, it's a lather monster which, with the slim, ended in a wonderful shave, good times.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc
