Setting 7 on the Schick M, but a couple of weepers ensued. Pretty smooth overall. I always enjoy using the Schick M. Have a great day!

 

SOTD March 7th


The Bunny V3 (Nosto plate)
Personna (6)
Stirling Baker Street
Yaqi Professional (28mm, Destroyer class)

First shave with The Bunny, decided to go with the NOSTO plate because I usually like a little more blade feel. Riding on a bed of Stirling super goop the Bunny was smooth as silk! Absolutely marvelous, the angle practically set itself, whiskers were wiped away and there was no sense of harshness. This razor could easily take the #1 injector spot. Its going to be a real pleasure using the Bunny for the next couple of shaves before I have to pass it on. Have a great day my friends!

Thur 8th March
Omega 11137 boar
L`Occitane Cade cream
Schick Type F
Schick S/S [ 4- japan]
Puig Quorum A/S Lotion

Initially got this Razor wrong, must have screwed up the loading of the blade.Only those who have had the pleasure of using the Type F will know what it is like. Smooth and forgiving and as today delivers an ultra close finish, coped well with the cream but did need rinsing because the Cade is very rich.

Thursday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #206
Gem Damaskeene
Personna Gem CS
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 two-band badger brush. I did two passes with the Gem Damaskeene Razor using a Personna Gem CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Personna
Razor: Personna injector
Brush: JR #41 badger
Lather: Mystic Water Irish Traveler
Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Sharp Dressed Man aftershave

Nice and easy with the Personna injector. Smooth and mild and quite comfortable. Have a great day!

 

I find the ocmm fairly aggressive with a fresh blade, but usually the 3rd shave is the sweet spot for a Gem blade to me. I had one before that wasn't nearly as efficient, so maybe that one was tweaked.

Awesome that feel is what I love about these things.

 

Great shave today. @9nein9 sent me some samples of The Copper Hat soaps. I tried out the Bay Rum today and loved the shave. The tuxedo knot really liked it. Since he started his SE adventure with a FW I used one today. The Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum AS finished things up nicely!!

And a video because I promised.

 

Fri 9th March

RazoRock Syn. 22mm
Speick Active soap
Schick N3
Schick Twin [ 21- Japan ]
Pitralon Original A/S lotion

Always thought reports of long blade life were made by those with light beards, and yet despite my tough beard this blade in the N3 is still 21 not out. Another outstanding Shave today, that long handle encourages long sweeping strokes on the cheeks with the Razor naturally assuming the right angle. It also is in a league of its own when doing work around the neck. Without doubt one of my Injector Stars.

SOTD March 9th


The Bunny V3
Personna (6)
Italian Barber Amici
Simpson's CH2 Synthetic

Another assault on the Amici soap was brought on this morning by The Soap Destroyer. It doesn't seem to matter what soap your using to The Destroyer, it will turn it into a rich creamy lather in no time. This made the perfect slick platform for the Bunny to do its job. Even with the Wild plate I didn't find the shave overly aggressive. An interesting thing about the Bunny is that it tends to redistribute the lather as you shave, making a little bit of buffing really easy on the final pass. I ended up with a DFS which isnt too bad for a blade thats pretty close to being on its way out. I'll have one more shave with the Bunny this weekend before I send it out next week. Have a great weekend my friends!!

 

I like the the razor handle and the brush handle match! Pretty cool! Very sophisticated looking.
