An honest question - how on earth do you keep a DE blade going for so long? 20 shaves from a Feather blade is nothing short of astounding!
 
One from the very recent archive, as I could not post from South Korea:

Nice shave today. I seem to have given myself a few red bumps right at the bottom of my neck. Never get complacent!
 
This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (3)
Brush: Simpson Commodore X3 in Best
Soap: Prof Blighty's Rosewood
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Rosewood
Scent: Trumper's Sandalwood

Very pleasant. Might even say I came up smelling of roses. Ahahaha.
 
Well this interesting.
To me at least.
The old E4 fatboy has been giving me good shaves.
Quite close but not really close. I've noticed I've had to thin the lather and start in 5 then set to seven.
Yesterday tried a wilkinsons saloon blade (thanks Dipesh) same setting same result. Clean irritation free but not really close.
So today EJ sea buckthorn.
2213
First pass 7
Second pass atg on maximum 9.
Ah now a better result. I wonder if it's from using the progress where I reckon a 3 on that is more aggressive than a 9 on the fatboy. Plus my 1934 aristocrat is a nice close shaver too
Just got use to more open blade angles I guess certainly when I first used the fatboy 4/5 was fine.
See I said it was interesting to me.
Thanks for tuning in if you did.
Yrs
Slack.
 
Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Custom two band
Razor Garanti, Silberstahl

Nice shave, this rather large (13/16) razor's real nifty and easy to shave with and Lavanda's one nice AS.

this morning I started prep for my week of tourture, and gave the Palmolive classic shaving stick a bash, for £0.49p I am verry impresed with it, and by my maths there are 7 days in the week, and not 5 whitch means that 2 of the blades will have to be reused, and that's something my face just aint going to like, but the wilkinson sword blade that I used yesterday has had a second outing, not bad, not bad, thats the good news, the wilkinson sword brush...they say a picture says a thousand words so...........

Tuesday shave:

20qgjs6.jpg


Tabula Rasa Vetiver&Tangerine shaving cream sample + Vie&Long 16910 "two bands edition" + Rotbart 15 with Blitz #4 + Myrsol Agua Balsámica with Herbíssimo balm

I'm not a big fan of this Tabula Rasa shaving cream, but I think that its scent is appropiate for this warm weather, so I'll use it until finished to clear some space, hehe.

A good shave anyway

Cheers!
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage blond horn badger
'Webly'/Wilkinson Super Sword (NOS)
TSD coconut SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Creed ''Aventus' EdT
