I like it alot! It's a great shaver, that gives an effortless shave from the moment I start using it

 

September 5th,

Hot shower
La Toja shaving stick
Semogue 730HD brush
Parker 91R w/ IP blade (#3)
De Vergulde Hand alum
Aqua Velva A/S
Penhaligon´s Racquets Formula cologne

My first shave with the La Toja shaving stick...... WOW!! What a great shave!!
And specially for DU212, I used the Parker 91R again...... And again, and again

 

Hi Rene, after reading your post I have used my SOTD to give a chance to the 91R,.....result,...no chance, is defective,....MY 91R,....it has a problem with the adjust, the handle screws more than needed and the razor becomes less agressive than a ¨Merkur 33C ....I have screwed less the handle, and the razor has done a fantastic shave.....but I don't want to use it, i'll try to return it to the seller

Today.....Rene clone

Men-Ü boar
Parker 91R + RPIP (1st)
La Toja Gel Limpiador
La Toja Shavestick in a bowl
La Toja sensitive ASB




Finally, ... the "La Toja" SS, the lather consistency is perfect, well chosen Rene ....it always give me great shaving experience. What about the Semogue 730HD?

 

Saturday 9/5 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: The "Dana" Brush an Ever Ready 50 N boar
  [*]Soap: Honeybee Spa's Ye Old Barbershop
  [*]Razor: '21 Gillette Goodwill
  [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (shave 14)
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel & SCS Savory Rose ASM
  [*]EDT: Nine Flags Aromatic Tabac from Brazil
  
  [*]Result: A fine BBS shave today without the Oil/Touch Up pass. I had not shaved in two days and when I do finally shave it seems that I get a great shave without the oil pass. Surprising thing is that the blade was on shave 14. No blood today just a great smooth and comfortable shave.

 

SATURDAY

Gillette Gold Tech ball handle
Derby/Day 3
Kell's Ultra Aloe & Lime
VDH Deluxe Boar
Panama Jack Green Aloe
Black Suede After Shave

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Rooney badger(small scruffy knot)
1946-47 Aristocrat/Iridium
Penhaligons Racquets SC
Lucky Tiger AS
Tom Ford 'Grey Vetiver' EdP

Tried another 1946 Aristocrat this morning, and this one's the most aggressive of the 3-4 others I've used in the past. The shave was extremely close, but I felt the blade more than I expected to. Funny how razors have their own personality sometimes. I was figuring on a milder experience, although I still enjoyed myself this morning.

Man, I can't believe how well this silly little brush works..........almost as good as my Shavemac. I think maybe the shorter loft might help whip the lather up easier, but who knows. I can't imagine this knot being larger than 18mm or so, but it sure does the trick.

Anyway, a nice way to start my day........BBS results.

Saturday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/7 AM day 2
Alando-SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Grey Flannel-AS

A quick shave this morning, but it still turned out to be a good one. I get a very good result with the 7 AM blades--I can't say enough praises about them. By the way, this Alando cream is so cheap in Germany, but it's fantastic!
