  1. Weds Sept 18
    2 “new to me” razors - Henckels Rapide and L’Essor plus 2 self honed blades

    Working on about 7-8 days facial hair growth.

    First pass L’Essor and Heljestrand wedge WTG. Blade not quite sharp enough.

    2nd pass Rapide and Henckels wedge WTG again and was ok. 3rd pass XTG Rapide gave me near DFS.

    Overall rating 3 of 5

    Need to work on my blade honing technique.

    After a smooth shave, I used my double SE and tested a new soap: I cannot smell many of the stated scents of this soap, but it was alright, notwithstanding I am a tallow man.
    I am waiting to be allowed by a decent weather to use 'real autumn' fragrances; as of now it is a fake autumn: too much sun and heat.

  12. Tatara Nodachi/Treet Platinum.

    I had very high expectations for the Nodachi based on Tatara's previous offering and am not disappointed. Although it has positive exposure and substantial blade gap you wouldn't know it by how friendly it feels. Near perfect shave, zero touch ups necessary on my head and very little effort required to get there. Anxious to try it with the sharper BIC and Mano a Mano with the H&S and GC Jaws.[​IMG]

  13. I had a fantastic shave yesterday,
    RazoRock Game Changer
    Personna Lab Blue
    RazoRock 400 brush
    Uncle Jons Surf and Sand
    Timeless blue bowl
    Uncle Jons Surf and Sand was Dynamite! The stuff exploded off the brush, slick and boy did it smell great.
    Being on blood thinners I was worried about shaving my head, well the Game Changer has taken any worries out.
    My only issues being on blood thinners has been from the newest member of family, my wife and grandson went for a walk a couple of weeks ago and came home with this little baby girl. It has scratched my arm which caused me to bleed. :angry021:
