SoS: December 2020

Nice shave with this frameback. (It must have been the power of suggestion from the SOTD by @esvh ) I think I am still learning the optimal angles with this one or it just needs a good refresh. Excellent result at the end nonetheless

Karve D OC & Gillette Platinum
Graydog 26mm Timberwolf Chechen
WSP BlackBeard Formula T
Nivea Deep Comfort Vanilla & Bourbon a/s Lotion
Giorgio Armani Code Ultimate eau de toilette

Just a real good shave. The Karve razor is a wonderful shaving tool with excellent smoothness with just enough blade feel to give one a good read on what it’s doing. I’d almost forgotten how good the BlackBeard soap from Wet Shaving Products is. Just a heavenly aroma of sweet vanilla & bourbon that produces a creamy, intoxicatingly good and protective lather. Paired up perfectly with the Nivea lotion and Code Ultimate. Great evening and shaves to all....​

 

SOTD, Tue, Dec 29th 2020

Razor: KAI AC Shavette folding clone, Mfg 2018> seems well built for a Zamic razor, very easy to move around the face.
Blade: Kai Protouch guard(3) excellent blade, smooth & Sharp and you can get a very close shave like this rookie did. The guarded blade acts like a safety bar on safety razor almost. Kai has really impressed me with their pricy DE blades also, KAI do MFG good quality AC blades IMO. Excellent blade to learn how to use a Shavette.
Soap: Razorock XXX, one of my favorite soaps, nice clean scent with excellent lather qualities. On my second tub.
Brush: Yaqi Chianti's 24 mm knot, excellent lather creator, heavenly like soft tips with a nice scrub and some back bone.
Pre Shave: Brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar soap+ a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCSDFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 small weeper on chin area= Excellent shave with my KAI style folding Shavette clone with a KAI Protouch blade. Very impressed with quality of shave with a guarded blade!


Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

 

Parker adjustable injector, Schick injector blade, shave 6


Razor set at 5. Blade is definitely mellowing out which is normal for these blades at around shaves 6 - 8. Super smooth shave with a BBS finish though not a glass like BBS like earlier shaves when the blade edge was sharper.
