Simpson Sovereign (T2)/ Resin
Fine American Blend combo

Moved on to the Occam's for a few days. Thanks to @jluc a few years ago, I have all 3 plates, but do prefer this full scalloped plate for the combination of smoothness and efficiency.
Have a great day all!

I said before and I'll say again: My in-shower body washes are most excellent preparers for the shave ahead.

Day 9 of 3D Printed Razor Month.

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Oscar11 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER 3D Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Great shave buddy!

That razor sounds awesome!

Tuesday morning:

L’Oreal Barber Club Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 14
MSC Ruby Forest SS
Nivea Sensitive ASB
Max Disinfecting AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

My first time using Fernando’s Ruby Forest soap and I tell you that it blew me away - what a gorgeous scent, it’s tallow based like all of the soaps from this great company so it lathers like a champ with awesome slickness, and it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing. The Nivea Sensitive balm delivered great additional postshave care, and the Max Disinfecting aftershave from Bulgaria smells very nice and although it stings like hell for a second or two it then feels so good afterwards. The Minora blade gave me one last hoorah with a terrific BBS shave!

Have a good day - be well and safe!
