What an awesome shave! These Kai Blades are ridiculously good!

 

Another flawless shave, from a Spanish Rescue Razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me Baby Dolphin Butt Smooth(BDBS). Zero issues. Also, I do like this little workhorse of a brush. The Shave Cream is also great. Easy to lather, and super slick.

Razor- Filarmonica 14. Doble Temple, JMP. Made in Spain.
Brush- Wilkinson Sword. Boar
Soap- Taylor of Old Bond Street(TOBS). Cedarwood
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

 

Heavy stubble meets heavy blade. Heavy blade wins hands down

This has to be one of my smoothest shaves ever, simply fantastic
