The Kai on the 39C represented 'the' shave.
I find there is no comparison between the Feather and the Kai....

I wasn't particularly impressed with the music today, but going back to the bedroom to change the record was out of the question...
I am one who knows how to be satisfied!

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Olivewood Silvertip
Gillette Fat Handle Old Type Frankenrazor
Personna Super (49)
CWR
PSC Caffeinated After Shave

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Olivewood Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Fat Handle Old Type Frankenrazor with a Personna Super blade (49) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Happy Birthday Jeff!!! Have a great day!!

 

Was contemplating the Stirling razors and and the geometry reminded me of my Apollo, a milder razor for sure but quite effective. Did a few pick ups with the Mark Cross to finish to BBS on the head shave (wouldn't have bothered had I not the leftover lather). Feather (2).

Awesome shave this morning. I went ahead and grated my aos puck into the tabac container because the damn puck kept moving around in the container i had it in. This scent is my favorite. The razor is fantastic and shaves very close and well Im bbs smoooth . The blade is good, no issues with it those of you that have a few should pull them out and use them.

Brush: Yaqi barber pole 24mm 2 band, 1st use with a 2band badger. Had mild scent of badger funk but did it perform very well.
Excellent lather generator, soft tips with excellent scrub + great lather painter. Nice brush for little cost(sale).
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + 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 American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
