SoS: Oct 5-11 2009: 3 Piece Razor Week

Monday



Feather Portable
Feather Blade D-1
Omega Boar
Williams Mug Soap
WH
Pinaud Musk AS

I got the Feather because I wanted to see how it was as a little travel razor. I have been recommending that people try them for that and I was right. As good a DE shave as I ever get from a non OC 3 piece. The Omega continues to work well. I think the higher loft is what makes it nice.

Can't beat Merkur Fixed Heads and mine happens to be three-pieced.

Lebanese Gillette SCs aren't the best in quality but what they lack there they make up for in other ways (Lemon-Lime's fragrance, Menthol's Potency).

Alum block

Another quality shave. Thanks to Zach for all of his answers to my questions about Semogue boar brushes. Even without breaking it in this beast was comfortable and lathered very well. Also, the 7 o'clock blades may be my new favorite.

Cheers,
Colin

Kell's actually seems to lather better with the badger, which is a first for me.

JoAnna - my labels look far worse, can't even make out any letters. Thankfully, ADG Type and Bergamot smell totally different.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
Kirby/ English Gillette super chromium(NOS)
Penhaligons Racquets SC
TSD Spring Equinox AS milk
Storer 'Monk' EdT

The Kirby(made in France)) is probably my most beautiful razor, and not nearly aggressive as it looks. I've used this maybe 15 times so far, although first time today with this blade. I did have to go slowly and pay attention to detail, and I'm not sure this is the right blade for this razor. A very close shave, but not quite as comfortable as with other blades such as the Iridium.

Still, a very nice way to start the day, with BBS results.

Tuesday: Ball end Tech razor / Laser Ultra blade / Lord Emofresh SC / Omega Sintex brush / Barbasol Pacific Rush Aftershave

Decent shave, I find the Gillette Techs to be a little to mild for me.
