    J&T® black walnut / "Black Mag".
    Jabones by Luna "Geranio romero y clavo".
    ATT SE1 (aluminum).
    Feather Artist Club Pro Super (4).
    Hugo Boss Bottled EdT.

    With this blade the mild razor becomes more aggressive/effective ... ;)

    SE1 + Feather Professional = mild
    SE1 + Feather Pro Super = medium aggressive

    Very good array of products Jim. The picture is great as is the effect. The head cover for the razor is a keeper.

    Hello everyone. Today's shave:

    rdt0408 copy.jpg


    - Mickey Lee Soapworks "Grand Havana"
    - Frank Shaving Finest / Grosvenor handle
    - RazoRock Black Hawk
    - Kai Captain Titan Mild
    - Thayers Original Astringent

    Some time ago I ordered a few Artist-Club-style SE blades for testing, today I tried the first of the bunch. The Kai Captain receives high praise almost everywhere, so I expected nothing less than a shaving revelation. Well, it turned out, the shave was good, but nothing special. Kai blades are more expensive over here than the "regular" Feather professionals - and for me they aren't worth the extra money. I'll give that Kai blade another go in my Colonial General though.

    The soap on the other hand is fantastic. Excellent performance - and I just LOVE that tobacco scent. :happy088:

    Thank you, Doug. This set up definitely works well for traveling, and Adam's razor cover is a big plus. It protects the razor as well as keeps the blade from cutting up my dopp kit.
