Hi all,
A top shave this afternoon with the Blackbird SS I purchased the razor on BST on paste & cut.
I am still quite new to modern razors and like all of us I have had heard all the hype about the Blackbird and some of it is true.
1 It gives a great close shave.
2 It's build quality is very good (I know nothing about CNC machining).
3 Is it the grail of razors I can't say.
It's a very good razor I enjoyed using the it and this was my first time using this razor.
I think it will only get better with more use.

Cheers.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
CTAPT Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #461 Synthetic
Ever-Ready Peerless
Personna Gem Stainless PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman AS

The CTAPT Shaving Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #461 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Peerless SE razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Friday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Quick shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 3
Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Did I ever freeze my face off this morning today with the Glacial MITA - this soap is a menthol atom bomb. The scent is identical to the regular version which is so citrusy and tropical, the lather is fantastic, and the postshave care is perfect. The Gold Bond moisturizer is also very mentholated and it’s so soothing. Finally the Floid Vigoroso aftershave went on frigidly cold along with its delightful old school barbershop scent that I love so much. Another three pass BBS work of art - what a great shave this was!

Enjoy the weekend - be well and stay safe!
