    It came loose again...not so sure I want to glue it again...

    Edit- ok, fine, I’ll try some epoxy on it...for old times sake.

    Nice collection of gear, Jim. Should be exciting using it again after a few years.

    Shaving recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/Asda Tingly Mint & Tea Tree Shower Gel.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face.
    Pears ~ Transparent Bar Soap With Mint Extracts. + Nuage Menthol shaving Oil.
    Brush: Yaqi ~ Sagrada Familia 24mm Synthetic.
    Face Lather.
    Lather : Razorock "What The Puck? !" ~ Lime Burst.
    Blade: Astra Superior Stainless. (D4)
    Razor: FaTip Grande.

    Post:
    Cold water face wash with brush squeezings, Cold Water Face Rinse. /Homemade (~Spring/Summer mix~) Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Essential Oils. +3 Menthol Crystals. Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./Nivea Men ~ Sensitive Cooling PSB. /Osmanli ~ Lemon Eau De Cologne.

    Greetings,

    Early morning shave,

    last outing of the Astra Superior Stainless which has been consistently Superb with every shave throughout the week...I feel as though i could easily get another 2-3 shaves from this blade, but I'll put it into retirement as i have a vast amount of other DE blades to contend with.

    The FaTip Grande/Astra SS combo was such a wonderful match....Very smooth and efficient...Two passes left my face feeling smooth, but i carried on with the third & pick ups pass for the sheer pleasure, and to use up the wonderful slick lather the Razorock "WTP? !"soap provided me.

    A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of Osmanli ~ Lemon Eau De Cologne.

    My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Razor: Gratiot Krect Spiral Curve Slant
    Blade: Wizamet (4)
    Brush: Rubberset 400/Oumo Boar
    Soap: Pereira Shavery Baron's Choice 1508.5 Project
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Avon Cool Sage
    Fragrance: Nautica Blue
    Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 918

    This was one of those shaves for the ages. Just everything clicks and you think I could just use this stuff alone for the rest of my life !

    YEAH RIGHT !!!! :happy097::happy102::happy097:

    It was an amazing shave though and I will say that my Krect Spiral Curve Slant if I truly could have only 1 razor and had to pick ONLY 1 razor, I could honestly say this would be it. Vintage/Modern wouldn't matter. This would be it !! The GE Jones Shake Sharp is a close 2nd but this is it. We'll see if that changes when the Shake Sharp MK-1 arrives............Of course I don't have to pick just one and love the variety and change up required when using different razors. Keeps you and your technique on it's toes. It's my long Thursday and debating whether I'll take tomorrow off or get ahead on things. Have a great day Everyone !!

    Happy Thursday everyone. At least this week has gone by very quickly. For today I moved onto my next soap victim, Mike's Bay Rum. I will use it a couple of times a week until it is gone. I pulled not the Katana. I have found I get better results cutting the blade in half. It just seems to be easier to load, especially on the second half. Three passes and touch ups just missed the baby. I did not do a good job buffing my lower right. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.
