Business travel kit rehearsal:
Gillette 3 blades disposable (probably >15 years old...)
Stirling Dunshire soap and AS
Yaqui Sagrada
TFS Witch Hazel

Travelling by air in regional trips, no DE blades on board of course.
On a 1-day growth not a bad result I'd say, more than OK for daily shave.

I think that the Stirling tallow soap works nicely on the cartridge, more than with the DE

A really decent shave tonight with the cheap as chips Arko
I think if memory serves me right the cream, splash & balm we’re all under 12 quid not a bad deal even although i day so myself lol.
The blade however was pretty pants.
The first use was ok but this second time was a waste of time i feel, but i still managed to enjoy it anyway

Broken white lines - Occams Enoch
Two solid white lines - Feather Professional
Cross hatched lines - SP shaving 24mm Cashmere
Ouch - Signature Soaps Londinium


What a cracking little razor the Enoch is. Once you have got over the jiggery pockey with the blade loading, and lost a few finger tips in to the bargain. But once there with a deft sort of balancing act involving your remaining digits, great shaving delights await. Accuracy and speed with a silly name.

I only expect brilliance from the Londinium and that is exactly what was dished out with Cashmere.

So happy I am going to make this an Enoch week. At least up to Tuesday any way

So happy, have some Otoboke beaver

Missed using this excellent & very affordable soap! It is easy to lather and produces a rich & super slick lather with a nice light lime scent...awesome!!
A good shave session with this razor paired with the still good blade. Easy, smooth, and efficient enough in 3passes for a mostly bbs finish without any issues. The aftershaves were good...

Good two pass shave this morning, one slight nick under the chin on the first pass, I'm a little out of practice, but quickly got back into the swing of it.

Still not convinced by this soap/AS, it's good in itself but the scent doesn't do anything for me. I may add this to the intended clearout.

Smooth and refreshed for the day ahead, hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers
