This Parker injector (Mk1 version for you British ) has swiftly went to the top of my list for a multi day beard razor. I am sorely tempted to buy the latest (Mk2) version for that matter. Four day beard "scythed" down like no tomorrow with a "Chick" blade!!

Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
TDS Troika Shaving Soap
Razorock Bruce w/Plissoft Synthetic 24mm
Muhle Rocca Jet & Treet Carbon Steel (Black Beauty)
Novaya Zarya Russian Forest (as Aftershave)

TDS Troika? Yeah, my own blend ... well, a mush-together of the dog-ends of three (trois) samples I was sent: Lilac, Rose & Juniper. The result is a dark, earthy floral punch of gorgeous! Not a million miles off the cologne I used afterwards.

First run out with my new Muhle Rocca Jet (much thanks to @The Geordie Shaver for the sale) and it was everything that I hoped it would be, giving an exceptionally (if not surprisingly) smooth shave with the Treet Carbon Steel blade, a blade which can feel scratchy at times. I don't think the Rocca can actually deliver a bad shave.

Enjoyed so much, I'll be doing the same tomorrow ... but swapping out the splash for their Shipr (Chypre).

How’d you like the brush/knot?

How’d you like the brush/knot?

It feels nice and soft, but my first thought was I'd like a higher loft. By the time I'd finished using it I really liked it and the loft didn't seem an issue. Ill use it exclusively for a week or two to get my head around, but it's all good after first use.

Ordered a bunch of new blades to try out so have been keeping the setup nice and simple, tried and tested, and changing only the blade each time.

First run out with the Gillette Platinum and I found it to be super sharp and super smooth. Almost BBS in 2 passes. Wonderful!

Behind the ears and on each wrist, just enough to get an occasional whiff.
It lasts a good 12 hours too.
I really should try some others, but so many to choose from.

I reckon Andrew is pretty damn good at setting the ideal loft for his knots but we all have our preferences.

Beauty! I'll offer a suggestion ... thier Oudh Wafaa ("Honour"); that, or Mukhallat Jameel ("Handsome").
