Wednesday 12th March

êShave shaving soap
Sagrada Familia
Fatip Testina Gentile
Kai Auger
Osma Alum
La Toja AS
La Toja Balm
Cedrat Cologne

I don't normally have any issues with the Testina Gentile. I had a blade in there for weeks and it was fine. I believe it was a Super Iridium. I replaced it with a green Astra. This was really uncomfortable. So I swapped it out for a Polsilver, that too was uncomfortable. I took the razor apart and it was still very uncomfortable.
I started on the Polsilver this evening, it was still awful. So I changed the blade for a blue Gillette Platinum. Finally a normal great shaving experience.

My Shave today consisted of...
Prep Aleppo soap.
Blackland Shaving Towel.
Brush Yaqi Lucky Dice.
Soap La Toja Stick.
Razor Titanium Blackbird.
Blade Silver Star.
Aftershave Proraso Green Refreshing.

Tonight I went for my trusty Blackland Titanium Blackbird and it pretty much gave me a one pass shave, I went ahead and did a second pass purely becauseIcould, and I am now smoother than a Dolphin I'm that smooooooooooooth.
The La Toja stick worked a lot better with my synthetic and I had enough lather on the brush for probably 4 passes.
All in all a 9.5/10 shave.

That's it.

Enjoy your night, everyone.

that's all folks profile GIF

Early morning shave,

I’m so glad that I've revisited the Voskhod blade they have paired together with the Parker 24C wonderfully. The balance of both the efficiency from the razor & smoothness from the blade is a great combo.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
