Good morning guys well well I’m feeling a little bit better than I have been after being so sick and stuff but I got me a good to shave with my shave gear today with a razor. I normally don’t like it because it’s so mean and stuff but I’m I’m figuring it out how it works andKnight helmet with a blade, Derby shaved soap, my typical brush and it did real good this morning and I did two passes and a cleanup. Normally, I hate this razor, but it’s starting to grow on me.

Yeah, The Kilman is starting to grow on me at first I wasn’t sure but it’s starting to grow on me and also with this razor being as mean as my my favorite razor it’s forcing me to use better even better technique because it’s such a pretty pretty fierce shaving gear that’s for sure but I just thought I’d check in with you guys and Getting on this cough, but it’ll go away. I just gotta be patient.

Another thing I find really cool about this razor. The Knight helmet not only is it title but I also the way it designed is quite interesting. That’s why I bought a wall back on eBay for like 30 bucks. It’s matching handle and base plate and then Australia is called the grill And I saw a guy on YouTube his name silky is his screening and he used it along with the R 41 and a fed blade in both of those that’s pretty crazy when you use for razors anyway I just thought I’d talk to you for a few minutes and let you know I’m OK. You guys have a great Tuesday and it’s taco Tuesday .

The Yelken Lemon Eau De Cologne is a great astringent & post shave application with a scent that doesn't linger for too long. Not all Turkish shaving products have a Citronella fragrance, and don't smell like a Men's public toilet urinal. Are you a closet "Arko shave stick shaver".

Smells too creepy to go near the bottle.

Razor : Alpha Shaving Stubble vs Steel Guido Brass. (Hong Kong)
Blade : Wizamet Iridium Extra Stainless (2).
Brush : TroyCraft Custom made (Brush Of Memories).
Knot : 25mm Muhle STF X large Silvertip Synthetic (Fitted By Troy).
Soap : Razorock Puros Shaving Cream Soap .
Aftershave : Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum And Sweet Orange Splash.
Weight : 102 grams.

Hi all,
I had another lovely Shave Tonight with the Alpha Shaving Stubble vs Steel Guido razor using the safety bar base plate this time.
I found the the Guido was very slightly more efficient with the open comb base plate (my opinion only) but as for smoothness
it has to go to the safety bar base plate I am in agreeance with @lu20vt on that.
As I stated previously Paste & Cut razor review guru will no doubt do a full review on this DE razor.

One pass WTG/AGT Done! no nicks no touch ups no worries.

Finished of nicely with Ogallala bay rum and sweet orange splash.
Enjoy your shave.
Cheers.

Some men don't like the scent (so if you are trying to attract other men, it might not be for you).

Pre - Sainsbury's Luxury Soap Fig and Jasmine
Brush - Erasmic AP Shave Co Silksmoke 24mm
Soap - Tabac
Razor - Gillette Single Ring #663851 1906 Travel Set
Blade - Vintage Perma-sharp Supreme
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Vintage Tabac Black
A/S - Tabac Aftershave Splash

A wonderful run out for one of my Gillette Single Ring razors, today fitted with a new Permasharp Supreme blade the first pass was the usual "dullish" feeling when cutting then it really smoothed out for the rest of the shave.
The Silksmoke knot seems to have more backbone than a herd of Giraffes, it really picks up the soap , then begins to soften as the lather builds, very much like one of my boar brushes.
3 Passes for a very satisfying BBS finish although i did get a little indication from my post shave routine.
Enjoy your day all.
