Thursday shave
Soap: homemade melt-and-pour blend
Brush: Ever Ready with synthetic knot
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
After: CeraVe cream
I am enjoying focusing on my Feather AS-D2 exclusively for a couple of weeks. I like this razor, but I have never been completely satisfied with my blade choices with it. When I got the razor a few years ago, I used Feather blades with it, thinking that had to be the perfect combination. But Feather blades have always felt harsh to me, even in this razor, and I didn't like the way my skin felt afterwards.
I recently got some Wilkinson Sword blades, the German ones, and I liked them a lot in my vintage Gillettes. Very comfortable. I also got a good result with them in the AS-D2, but they start to feel rough after the third shave. I only have a few left, maybe I need to buy a big batch.
I have a fair stash of Wizamet blades, and I like them in most razors. This was a good combination today, nice comfort. Maybe not quite as comfortable as the Wilkinson Sword. I will see how long the blade remains comfortable. These have shown great longevity in the past.
