  5. SOTD Decadent December 16th

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    Yaqi Knight-Helmet
    Zorrik Super Platinum
    Stirling Butterscotch Fan (24mm, Frigate Class)
    SP Dottie lather bowl
    Stirling Iced Pineapple soap and AS

    I had two first use products and a decadent favorite in my lineup today. First use of the Yaqi Knight helmet head. This is one menacing looking head, it has a huge blade gap and blade edge looks like it sticks out well past the guard. I loaded a new Zorrik Super Platinum blade and spent a good time making sure I had a super slick lather. A couple of careful strokes with the razor and I learned that I had nothing to fear. This razor does have a definite blade feel to it but it was not harsh at all. The Zorrik was a nice surprise also, plenty sharp and smooth cutting. This combo made for a really decadent shave and man-o-man can that Knight helmet deliver. Three passes to a face rubbing BBS shave. A generous splash of Iced Pineapple to keep the face freeze going with a scent that brings a smile to my face. What a great start to the week!

    Have a great day my friends!

  7. It’s been a while since my favored Russian made the scene. Usually this is a very no-drama, extremely close shaving razor. Today it bit me. I think it’s a little too sharp at the moment. No pasted strop for this one for a bit. :happy088:

  12. It’s a really good shaver. Combines both smooth and efficient into a nice package. It’s a unique razor with the DOC head design (copied off the Grand King) plus the benefit of being an adjustable using the blade itself to increase/decrease tension with a simple twist of the handle giving one more or less blade efficiency. It works quite well to be honest.

    Congrats and good luck. Happy shaves.... :shaver
