    Nice shave with my prized swoopy Ragg that I chased for years. I’m sending it off to @gssixgun soon as the edge it came with is good but not quite my style. Nonetheless, my face is smooth, smooth, smooth and smelling good with that Old Spice.

    Razor: Kai Luffy Style shavette- Mfg 2018> well made Zamac folding razor, easy to manipulate around the face, good razor to learn with or just enjoy as a seasoned shaver. This style of Shavette allows a person to access Feather or Kai guarded blades.
    Blade: Kai Protouch guarded- excellent blade, Sharp & smooth + well made. Great way to learn and reduce nicks & weepers. I like this blade so much that I bought a AC SE razor to try out.
    Soap: Razorock XXX- nice clean scent, Excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Moka express synthetic, nice to look at handle with nice 24 mm knot. Excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips + gentle scrub & great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 3 pickups. WTG + 2X ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + minor irritation + some weepers= [​IMG]Excellent shave with my Kai style folding shavette + Kai protouch guarded blades.

    My experience with the TP loader was similar to your shave today. I found that flexing the magazine a little helped line everything up. But yes, the plastic loader can be a pain.

    True. And I honestly don't know why. I mean, the AdP is definetly a warm weather product (it has some cooling effect that's either menthol or eucalyptus), but I should be using it more in the summer. It's an outstanding performer. I was wet shaving years before I discovered artisan products. The first artisan soap I used was RazoRock's XXX. I fell in love with the fragrance, so I sought out the inspiration for XXX which is Colonia. So, I picked up the Colonia EdC. I missed the original AdP Colonia-scented soap (the current stuff doesn't smell like Colonia, but it's nice). The post-shave lotion is Colonia-scented. Anyway, even though the soap doesn't smell like Colonia, I've gone through 1.5 tubs despite my sparse use. It's so luxurious, it just feels a little hedonistic to use it. LOL.

    Thank you!

    Thank you, Gary.[/QUOTE]

    I've been on a bit of a synthetic brush run lately so today I realized that I've missed the badger brush experience. I have a few badgers so it's time to revisit them. Also, working at home today calls for the strongly scented aftershave. Great shave!

    Greetings,

    It's been a while since i last used the KMF shave cream and forgot how you only need a small amount to get a adequate slick protective lather without adding more to the mix...Don't be put off with it's feminine packaging it's a great shaving cream which i should and will use more regularly with my shave set ups.

    A enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off a with a small dollop of L'0REAL ~ Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

    My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
