    Growth: Three day beard.
    Prep: Warm shower: Stirling Sheep bar soap
    Pre: Washed face with Stirling unscented pre-shave soap then reapplied before lathering (warm water).
    Brush: Rudy Vey 25 mm STF
    Lather : Razorock XXX Italian shaving soap
    Bowl: Captain's Choice standard copper shave bowl (rolled edged)

    First Pass:
    Razor: Feather Artist Club Super Razor (SR) folding AC-style razor
    Blade: Schick Pro Line P-30 (D2.5)

    Second Pass:
    Razor: Schick 500 Injector Razor
    Blade: Chinese Schick (D4)

    Post: alum block and PAA Mysterium Serum

    First time shaving with the Feather folding Super Razor. I have shaved many times with the Feather Japanese/kamisori Super Razor and liked the blade holder so I picked up the folding version on a Black Friday deal last week.

    First pass: Did the typical shave on the face. Used alum on the fingers to stretch the skin when shaving. Tried to remember to let the weight of the razor to do the work, use just a slight angle on the shave and let the razor 'come in for a landing' and lightly touch my face to help avoid insertion weepers (which is hard to do in areas with short run ways - ha ha). Had two weepers and probably four other nicks. Overall, the blade was nice and smooth and the razor worked very well. Even though the scales can get in the way if you are wearing glasses, I think I am starting to like the thinner metal grip of the folding over the thicker handle of the kamisori. I decided that the number of nicks and weepers were enough to hit my shave limit for the day, so I switched to the Schick 500 for the next pass. Once I can get a weeper-free shave with the first pass, I will go for a second pass with the Super Razor.

    Second pass: The Schick 500 gave an effortless shave with excellent results.

    The alum stung quite a bit over all my face and neck (especially where the nicks and weepers happened). Not too bad for the first time with this razor. I will grow into it over time.

    Greetings,

    Early morning shave.

    Everything in my shave set up paired together wonderfully.

    Maiden shave with the V12 Super Platinum Blade, which I've had for quite some time and only got round to try them out. the verdict? A surprisingly good blade I find they have a good balance of smoothness & efficiency, something I really like in a blade.

    They paired together with the Baili BD 191 exceptionally well making a mild smooth comfortable duo. As for the longevity if i can get two good acceptable outings from them, which i assume i will then I'll be content.

    I normally bowl lather when using tube shave creams but this morning i tried putting it directing into the damp synthetic and face lathering, dipping the brush tips when more water was needed building up the lather to the consistency I prefer.

    A very enjoyable 2 pass + pick-ups close comfortable near BBS shave with no errors to report.

    Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Aloe Vera Body Lotion.

    My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine. ;)

    Keep safe and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:
