Wool Fat Wednesday SOTN

As I've had several awesome shaves with the Gillette Parat, I felt it was time to move on to another razor. The Ikon SBS was calling from my razor stand.

Wow, it really seemed to like the Vikings Blade Cayenne tonight. MWF was creamy and slick as usual. To anyone who hasn't tried it, the SBS is an interesting razor... No matter how I try though, the bar side always seems to shave me more smoothly than the OC side - oh well . I think I'll shave with it tomorrow too . I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday.

It is different and not sure what side of the fence I am with this one. The fig does come through as does the Sandalwood and after it lingers a bit I can pick up the musk. Excellent pre and post shave performance though.

 

Thanks Gary.

BTW, I use to like watching Benny Hill show.

 

Hopefully I'll be able to find Spoiler blades cheap. Some people on Ebay sell them kinda high and a lot of people here like them.

 

One of my favorite shows.

 

they are hi priced but i indulged..none up here to buy..i am thankful for the 10+ shaves per blade ..still cheaper than my carts i used...

 

I have one blade I want to try out, it's a Personna 74 Tungsten. I'm just trying to figure out which razor to keep it in for the duration to see how many shaves I can get from it. Leaning towards one of my Fatboys or '48-'50 Aristocrat.

 

good idea sir, pic your favorite razor ,see if it improves the shave..

 

From what I've read, the blade just might be in the razor for a year.

I'm a succubus of this perfume!
But either the soap is not a great one or I have a poor technique (more likely...).
Nevertheless, the Rocket/Feather combination was sweet and effective.
And the fragrance dermolibidinous, albeit short-lived.

Ah, if the scent lasted as long as a politician's career...
