Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

Another comfortable smooth shave to finish my shaving week off in grand style. 'The Fat' never fails to provide a superb slick protective lather.

Both the Lancet super SP & V12 super SP have performed wonderfully throughout the week with no problems of tugging or irritation. If i had to choose a winner it would be the V12 SP, reason being, paired together with both the Baili BD177 & Baili BD 191 in my previous shave was a superb comfortable performance.

A surprisingly good blade from the subcontinents that i will use again in my future shaves pairing it up with different razors.

You can't give a true verdict on any blade after just a few shaves, but the V12 super SP i feel as if this blade can uphold and maintain a good smooth cutting edge.

I am of opinion that most DE blades regardless to where they are manufactured on offer today are pretty good. There are exceptions of course, but most are pretty good and give acceptable results.

I categorize blades as super-sharp, sharp and not-so-sharp. Because of my mature rhino skin type and tough beard, I can handle most blades.

The issue I find with blades is that not every blade works for every person.

I repeat myself by saying shaving is all about practising your technique & shaving confidence.

A very comfortable 2 pass + pick-ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Aloe Vera Body Lotion.

My face is feeling smooth cool & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shave Soap
Jayaruh #4 Badger
3D InjecTR v1 Razor
Schick Plus Platinum blade
CWR
Lustray Spice AS

The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #4 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 3D InjecTR v1 Razor and the Schick Plus Platinum blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor - 1967 Gillette Slim set on 5
Blade - Fresh Crown blade
Brush- -Simpson Trafalgar T-3
Soap - Taylors Rose Shaving Cream
Pre-shave - Proraso Blue
Post shave - Thayers Toner "Rose Petal" & Proraso balm
AS - Pinaud Clubman - Vanilla

Cold morning so I may use my scuttle mug and pre-heat it with hot water while I shower.

Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Astra Green day 9
Lyko SC
Nip Man ASB
Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

This Lyko cream from India is so nice - the scent is minty/aquatic, the lather whips up so damned thick, it’s really slick, there’s a good dose of menthol, and it’s very skin friendly. The Nip Man balm from the UK smells awesome, it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing, and it’s also very cooling. Finally, the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave (to me) smells great and it gives a wonderful menthol kick. Three passes resulted in a terrific BBS shave which started off the month on an enjoyable note!

Happy December to you all - be well and safe!

Looks like a great shave. Did the scent of the Aqua Velva overpower that of Nip Man?

Gillette Super Adjustable 84 (R3) Razor
Bolzano Superinox Blade
FS Ex Dense Badger Brush
Vintage Klar Shave Soap
Sea Breeze Astringent
Nivea Deep After Shave

Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Rockwell 6S – #3
Blade: Bolzano
Brush: Rooney Heritage 2XL Jade
Soap: Eufros: Tobacco (Tallow)
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..

a sublime shave, the scent of the Eufros Tobacco soap is quite simply divine, a beautiful sweet tobacco that definitely lifts your spirits.The base is without a doubt top tier, with a lather that is easy to build, slick, and the post shave leaves your skin feeling nice and soft. I settled for Enigma pour Homme Cologne to finish off this wonderful shave. Definitely feeling good!

Thursday Shave

Lather: Sudsy Soapery Unscented Non-tallow soap
Brush: Ever Ready
Razor: Henson AL13 +
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Post: witch hazel with added aloe and glycerin

Excellent shave! I enjoy the Sudsy Soapery soap: it loads up easily and gives a thick creamy lather without much effort.

Continuing my trials of various blades in my Henson mild razor, today I used a Gillette Silver Blue. This was an excellent shave, close, smooth, comfortable, without irritation. I am surprised that I haven't tried a GSB in my Henson previously, since I have a fair stash of them. I bought 100 of them a couple of years ago when lots of people were talking about them, but they had gotten shoved into the back of the blade drawer and forgotten.
