Fine Accoutrements "Worlds Finest Safety Razor"
Feather blade
Stirling Synthetic brush
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill A/S

Received an email from Fine stating that the WFSR was made to use Feather blades so they sent me a pack along with a travel case. Thank you very much really. And I had used the WFSR previously for 4 weeks with different blades and found it to be a very nice shaver on the mild side for me. Used a Feather today and......it's the same. Still a very nice mild shaver. Nevertheless, my face is reasonably happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

Gillette Flair Tip razor (K2)
Treet Dura Sharp or GSB blade
JR #85 brush
More 4 You SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S



When I first returned to DE shaving, I was gifted a Flair Tip by a member of another board. Due to my inexperience I thought, "Nice razor but I bet there are better". That started my searching, and, 80 razors later I thought I should try again. Glad I did! Got a tremendous shave that was so comfortable and easy. Liked it a lot! The More 4 You SS helped also. If you like Arko, you'll like this one. All in all, a great start to my shaving week. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

very cool..

1. Shave of the Week Starting 16 Nov 2020
   
   Weber DLC razor
   Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade
   WD Synthetic brush
   Seaforth Spice SS
   Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
   Seaforth Spice A/S
   
   Seaforth Spice is another offering from Spearhead Shaving. It lathers just like the Heather one I used last week and that is very easily and wonderfully. The scent is a bit more subdued than the Heather but very pleasant. Not Old Spice type scent but very nice indeed. I'll do a review on both soaps and A/S later but as of now, I'm very very happy with these products. Now go enjoy your day folks.
   
   
   
   
   

 

At $22 for the soap, is this good enough stuff at that price?

 

So far I think so. Of course, everything is subjective so it might not be for you but is ok for me. I reckon you could ask if a $200+ razor is worth it too. Like I said, subjective.

 

True. Thanks for the answer.

 

1. Shave of the Week Starting 11/23/2020
   
   Pearl Flexi razor
   Astra SP blade
   RazoRock Synthetic brush
   Proraso Green SS
   Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
   Proraso Green A/S
   
   Pearl Shaving just released these and I got one. As you can see in the photo, it's an adjustable going from 1 - 6. The blade gap varies from .35 -1.4 mm. Doesn't sound like much but the gap can be huge. I decided to start at 2 and after a few strokes went to 1.5. Oh, and it weighs in at 5+ oz. Heavy sucker. So the combination of the weight and blade gap made it feel very aggressive to me. Got a 2 pass BBS with no problem. I'll be playing with it all week and will give a full report later. Right now my face is ok but looks great. Now go enjoy your day folks.
   
   
   

 

I heard the Pearl Flexi had an issue that the SB will go crooked when you adjust the razor. Did you have any issues?

 

Only 1 use so far but didn't notice any problems

 

Shave of the Week Starting 11/30/2020

Schick G4 razor
Personna 74 blade
Shave Revolution brush
Viking "Citron" SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

Long time since I've used an injector so thought "Why not"? Glad I did cuz they are easy shavers that produce great results. And the Personna 74 blades last about forever so I could probably use this razor/blade combo for all of December but I won't. Anyway, nice shave and my face is happy. Now go do your Christmas shopping folks
