I hate to say it but I changed my mind for Saturday's shave! (for the third time!) Instead, this will be my setup: C. W. Beggs Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Junjie/new Derby Lea Classic SC Krampert's Frostbite AS Splash I really enjoy this Junjie every so often. It lets me rest my Super Speed, and even though it's a mild razor it still gives me good shaves. It's been at least three or four months since I've used the Lea Classic cream so it's time to give it a go. I was telling a guy from the Greek wetshaving forum that it's so nice and I decided to finally practice what I preach. I still can't figure out the scent, but it's awesome. The lather is a pleasure to whip up, it's quite cooling, and its post-shave care is fabulous. No balm is necessary with the Krampert's Frostbite because it's not only ice-cold, it feels soothing and protective as well as moisturizing!
02.01.2018 Today I tried to play with the adjustability of the Fasan loosening a bit of the handle... I think I loosened a bit more than needed hehe not so smooth as the previous two shaves and the end result was not any better too. As a final commentary to this lended Fasan Double Slant: it certainly piqued my interest in these razors and they are now on my wishlist.

Saturday Straights' Shave Proraso Pre Shave Ingram Oscar11 Synthetic Rocket 5/8 CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Florida Water I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Ingram Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Oscar11 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Rocket 5/8 Razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
