Classy Friday shave

 

Saturday 25 Oct 2025

2 Days growth

Cream/Soap = TOBS OUD
Brush = Old Vulfix
Razor = my other Gillette No 15
Blade = Henckels day 4, really surprised how sharp and smooth this still is on day 4
Passes = 2 and some touch ups
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal
ASB = TOBS Royal Forest
ASL = Proraso with Oud
Scent = Oud Malak

Super smooth and all scented up for the day ahead

Bit surprised really at how well the Henckels did on day 4. It was a better shave when compared to my other No 15. Could there that much difference between the No 15s? Apart from the barn door tarnishing they look the same. Anyway: a super smooth DFS

 

I know for a bit one of my friends as a teen used a straight razor he got at an auction at first price, nobody else bid on it where his dad was bidding on odds and end tool stuff for his apartments and apartment managing jobs for a bit but then went to the Dorco Clone of the Twin Trac II as the time it took to use the straight while doing wrestling and cross country in fall/distance track in spring, along with sucking on the summer city swim where you compete as your own person. He had no time between that and working for his dad in the apartments they owned or the apartment managing they did.

 

Only reason I gave a 9.5 is because of how mild the FEIYU blade is, they are so mild I originally thought the blade was too dull once at the right dial number, I got a great shave.

FEIYU from the single blade I have used, seems like it would be the perfect beginner blade for people who would have almost no cuts when messing up. This depends, if the second blade is as good as this first one in build quality, minus the logos that are not very good, but then from my experience few blades have perfect logos they always seem messed up in some way or another besides the original King C Gillette blades that seemed to be almost perfect in every way.

 

Thank you Joe.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

thank you Chris.

 

awesomeshave Chris.do both of your no,15's have the same number on the baseplate? either 400621 or 430030?

 

fine start to the weekend gentlemen.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

A beautiful shave set up Chris. " It was a better shave when compared to my other No 15. Could there that much difference between the No 15s? Apart from the barn door tarnishing they look the same?"....Interesting thoughts Chris, my take on this is because @ChrisB aka "tintin" is getting more familiar with your "other Gillette No 15" and getting to know it's characteristics and how to get the best from it?, and more importantly you haven't taken into consideration that your technique & shaving confidence has progressed each time you have added it to your razor rotation. It's always a bonus when you get good results with you shaving routine practices.
