    Nice shave. WSO Zaro is a super soap! My custom Silvertip is a great brush. The SC101 with bamboozle handle works so well for me. Astra SP's are one of those blades that works in all of my DE razors.

    Prep - Hot shower and towel
    Brush - Tweezerman Badger
    Soap - Williams (Seriously...what is this stuff) Mug Shaving Soap
    Razor - Vintage Soviet - the "Soyuz 1"
    Blade - [​IMG](2)Post - Alum, Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm

    Day two on the Zaza. I know that some blades improve on their second shave so I was wondering if this one would. Nope. Nada. Nothing. Oh, sorry....NYET! There we go. I can't say the blade doesn't work because you can eventually grind down the stubble. I will say that I believe I have a DFS today......barely. It took three full passes and some Gillette Sliding on my neck (which isn't the same with the Soviet and Zaza) but I got there. Once again the Williams just perplexed me. I added more water today, really whipped those suds up (can't really call it lather) and went to town face lathering after doing all I could in the Old Spice mug. Once again the first pass wasn't too terrible but each pass after just dissipated away. If you can't shave fast you won't have anything left before you finish!

    Alum was a bit noisy due to the extra effort I put in but the Nivea cooled it back down. Glad I bought that for this month!

    I think tomorrow I'll switch to the Rapira just to give it a shot with this blade. No blood or other problems with the Soyuz 1 so I'll see if I can stay that way with the Rapira. As for the Williams........I'm going to do some research on it and see what I may be missing. I know the Tweezerman isn't really helping my cause but I'll stick with it and see what I can do.

    Hi Friends,

    hope all of you are fine and you´re doing well. :) Here is my Sunday shave:

    [​IMG]
    Bethlehem Olivewood w. Mühle Black Fibre knot / iKon S3S head with Jürgen Hempel handle / Feather / Calani Earl Grey shaving soap / Majestät Aftershave

    Nice and relaxed. The soap is a heavenly summer scent, even it is raining like hell and the sky is grey (nearly black) here...:( Loaded with my Feather the shave was smooth and gentle. The combination of head and handle is fantastic. A real Heavyweight!!! The soap is complimenting very well with the Aftershave. Top notch!!!

    Have a great time, stay healthy and enjoy your shaves.

    Greetings
    Thorsten​

    Brush- Plisson synthetic

    Razor- Weber polished head all stainless steel

    First time using this soap…. wow! Easy to load, smells great and lathers like a champ! WOW, i regret not getting more of this soap. I detected a HINT of cooling effekt, but Im not sure. But wow it was a really great performer, slick and protective.

    If you can… get it.

    Finished off with mentholated Pinaud which is VERY nice, I have nailed the menthol amount in this =D

    VERY VERY nice shave today… And I was thinking, hmm maybe I’m to tired. LOL
