    Nice shave. My Plissoft is thinner, and LOOKS taller than yours-maybe it all comes out to the same size in the end, though.

    Nice choice! I love the Institut Karite products. They smell so nice and clean, it is amazing.

    I like the scent too. They leave the skin feeling good also.

    1 Days growth

    09 May 2025.jpg

    Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Palmolive Shave cream
    Soap = Stirling Bergamot and Lavender + RasoZero Protetivo
    Brush = Semogue Galahad C3 Premium Boar, super little brush
    Bowl = White plastic
    Razor = Gillette Argentinian Tech B2
    Blade = Kai (4) (still smooth, binned anyway)
    Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal, L’Occitane ASB
    ASL = Pinaud Clubman
    Scent = Prada Ocean Luna Rossa
    Passes = 2 +
    There was minimal Alum feedback

    Yesterday I used the Italian made RasoZero on its own and found it a bit lacking. Luvverly scent though. Today I mixed ½ scoop of it with 1/2 scoop with the slowly diminishing Stirling and was rewarded with abundant thick and slick superlather :)

    Lovely damage free start to the Friday

    Really nice texture to the handle of the Tech, no risk of slipping

    The Luna Rossa lasts and lasts and lasts for most of the day :)

    Have a super run up to the weekend everyone

    Great work on that handle. EJ89 is one of my favorite razors. When I purchased their 3ONE6, I thought I was getting an 89 in stainless steel. I've grown to like the 3ONE6 a lot also, but initially I was disappointed since it wasn't what I thought.
