Mail call with the aftershave/splash from Oleo for Irving Park...and some love for 'The City".

While I continue to struggle with blade selection and settings on the only adjustable in my den, I tried the Gillette Platinum tonight for the first time, based on reviews I was hoping it could prove as good or better than the Platinum Thai, perhaps in other sticks, the Thai offering remains one of my favorite DE blades and a benchmark by which I compare the rest. I got razor to 4.5 WTG, 4.0 ATG and experienced some biting or pretty much every high spots from prior GEM shave, feel dialing both back .5 and going three pass would prevent this. Curious if the Platinum can hang with the Thai in the Wunderbar Slant or the .84 GC, may even try it in the Mamba .70 which I've found to be quite mild.

 

Wednesday SOTN

Well, I am trading a crock of Tabac for a crock of Mitchell's Wool Fat to another member on the forum - I couldn't help it, I had to use tabac tonight. The tabac stick provided ample slickness for the Viking Adjustable Emperor, but I did nick myself on my chin tonight trying to shave too quickly . Otherwise, comfortable, smooth, and smell great for bed. Night everyone.

SOTD:
Today's shave was another supermarket shave and surprisingly one of the best up to date. That lion just keeps surprising me, ive forgotten how quickly and easy i can get a BBS shave from it, and that's saying something considering it costs 25 rand! I managed to figure out that it's the South African copy of the 7 o clock sterling, I'll put an image of both below.

As usual the feather performed absolutely fantastically, even on what is now shave number 24. This blade has absolutely shocked me, its taken my shaves to new heights and if it makes it to 30, ill definitely consider buying more even given its high price. Ofcourse i bin blades when they tug, but until they do i just keep using them.

The arko proved once again why it is my favourite soap, it always performs flawlessly and believe it or not, i love its scent!

As for the Brut, im super glad that we can still find the faberge brand new in South Africa, fantastic stuff.
