SOTD: Saturday January 14 - Friday 20 January 2023.

Something different for me today. Swapped my usual R41 and Shark blade for Merkur 45 Bakelite and a Personna Platinum Chrome blade. Not sure how many times the blade had been used before as not used this razor for years. It did feel a bit blunt and I find this a tricky razor to use. The blade gets very flexed and sits at quite an angle.

I still managed a decent shave with it, but I’ll load it up with a new Shark before tomorrow’s shave...

Are those Gillette super nacets new?

I love nacets but seen that one before

They are kind of new, sold in Malaysia and difficult to get hold off here but there is a guy selling them on eBay. I kind of lose my shit when it comes to obscure blades that have a picture of a crocodile being cut on the cover.

I think the Russian Nacet is a better blade, which I think is one of the best blades around.

Grand shave this morning, the pre NY purchase from Sir Henry arrived (still 2 others to arrive from 2022, swear they're taking a cruise ship over) and have to say its very very nice (cheers @Dave in KY). There's a nice mix and as was mentioned the rose doesn't seem in your face, seems like a winner! Now just to give the Quartet and Sandalwood a go out, not to mention the samples that Sir Henry threw in, happy days!

Hope everyone has had a grand one!

Cheers

Marc
