A wonderful shave with my Streamline with a new Gem blade aided by the Sig Soaps Capra shave soap, it produces a great lather and my skin feels so soft afterwards, lovely!
I'm loving the Alpha T400 brush which is quite new to me, just a fantastic shave all round!
Tea Tonique from MH to finish for these hot and sultry evening's.
Until the next time, stay safe and shave happy!

Prep: Myrsol Masaje Antesol
Bowl: Thirsty Badger
Brush: Voigt & Cop
Soap: Martin de Candre Vetyver
Razor: Atelier Durdan La Faux TI SB++
Blade: Kai Captain Standard
Post: Alum Rub
AS: Myrsol Formula K
First shave with the La Faux SB++ plate using a moderate Kai Standard blade. Smooth and nice efficent shave. For sure there is more potential when going with more sharp AC blades. Compared to the new OC plate with asks for a bit of learning cure with its long theets, this one is intuitive and spot on.
Best Regards
Marco

And what rubbish shall I dream up this evening in the name of a theme? 'Rupert the Bear' it shall be.
Rupert the razor - Rocnel SE-P
Rupert the blade - 0.486385% Dorco Prime
Rupert the brush - Highlander 26mm Cashmere
Rupert the soap - Officina Artigiana
Rupert the scent - Van Cleef Ambre Imperial
'Do I look like a fucking Rupert?'
A great sublimely close shave from the God of skinning. Face like a piece of rubber and a body to match.
And I shall finish with Tadzio, which I don't think is Japanese for Bear, but they'll do
Oh, and I love you all

Razor: CG Gen 1 Level 3
Blade: Gillette Super Thin (1)
Post: A&E Tobacco Road AS & EDP
Lovely shave with a new blade (to me). I'm not particularly adept at telling the differences between blades, my face just isn't sensitive enough, but I can go so far as to say smooth or rough as a bears arse, though this one seems smooth enough and that's with it sitting in this CG which is fairly aggressive.
Smooth finish and smelling good, hope everyone has a grand day.
Cheers
Marc

Why I missed this on my last rotation I do not know, with this Dutch blade it is so good. I think it helps that it appears to have had little use since it was made, and is far superior to the USA version that I have.
