Razor: Gillette no66 Blade: personna Brush: semogue Soap: Razor rock Tuscan oud Post: lavender witch hazel A/S : Tuscan oud Awesome scent. Another favorite of mine. I have a tendency to like the rich, darker, heavier /thicker scents. This one is on par with the AOS Sandalwood as far as my favorite scents. Im still experimenting with my lather and i was all over the place. The razor is good as usual the blade might have like 7 shaves? Still seems pretty sharp, i dont feel any dullness or tugging. I have alot of blades, but no sense in throwing away a blade that is still cutting right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It is just my opinion, Gem has been making SE blades a lot longer than Feather, I think it is the steel Gem Personna SS PTFE uses mostly( proprietary formulated steel) that keeps a great edge and has better longevity. The first few shaves with a Gem or Feather can be a little harsh which usually indicates to me sharpness because the edge is so finite IMO. Most folks who first use a Feather usually receive nicks & weepers same as a Gem Personna SS PTFE until they figure the blade out. I can use a DE Feather with no issues now but when first learning I could use almost any other blade until I use a Feather> because the edge is so finite, the Gem Personna SS PTFE is very similar when first encountering them in the first 5 or six shaves for newbies. For very sharp blades I like to use a milder razor for 1 or 2 shaves and progress to more aggressive razors seems to work very nicely for my shave routine and like that system that took a little while to figure out(not many folks ever mention that way of shaving over reading hundreds of threads). I'm not sure if you have used the Feather FHS-10 blades, they are sharp for 1 or 2 shaves and just fall off quickly. Oneblade Core uses that Feather proprietary blade (FHS-10) in their razors. I modified a Gem Personna SS PTFE for my Oneblade Core and I can receive 10 great shaves compared 2 great shave with the FHS-10, it averages out with a Gem for about $.02 to .03 a shave and that is as good as it gets for SE shaving IMO.
Shave over the weekend Khalifa clearly wins amazeballs performance category along with the Saponificio Veresino Shaving Cadre Brush. I put my Old Type Thin-cap Gillette on my Razorock Bulldog handle which surprised me with the dexterity improvement. Also I used my first Nacet blade for an umpteenth time. I have literally forgotten how many shaves I have on this blade, perhaps its a prototype that got loose lol. Completely BBS w/0 irritation cuts etc.
