    Adjustable (Arko) August!!!

    August 11 - Grand Blade Trials

    Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (6)
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Brush - Jayaruh #46
    Post - Alum

    Day two on the Prime Platinum and I'm sensing that there is a difference between this blade and the ST-301. The 6 setting usually allows a blade to show more of its true colors than the mild 3, and that was the case tonight. Very smooth still and, at first, seemed quite like the 301. However, as the shave progressed I noticed I was feeling the blade a bit more. It seems sharper than the 301. No problems with anything, just that extra feel of the blade that indicates it's cutting a bit more effectively. Two passes and some minor touch up and the baby showed up. Another clue that the blade is sharper than the 301. The alum was the final clue as there was a slight hint of heat, though nothing startling. Clearly, though, the blade got closer than the 301 did at this stage.

    Tomorrow's run at 9 will tell more of the tale. I'm actually quite eager to give it a go. As long as it doesn't go too far on the harshness, this blade could provide some very nice shaves. Well above average at least.

    A very good three pass shave which got me BBS - no complaints at all about the Polar Vortex soap. Its scent wouldn't win any awards, but it's not bad either. I'd describe it as clean, perhaps a bit of lemon, and there's a strong menthol note to it. It lathers VERY easily and it gives a whopper of a cooling sensation - in fact, it competes with my Frozen Tundra soap as I stated yesterday. Skincare-wise, it's good. Not quite at the Stirling level but definitely acceptable to me, so I'll continue using it until it's finished. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream will remain in my rotation as well because I love it so much. The Krampert's Frostbite aftershave is another face-freezer with a great scent and lots of skincare. ;) :D

    Have a great Sunday, guys! :)

    My inferior iPhone 5S camera simply cannot do justice to this brush. The ebony is akin to the finish of a Steinway piano.

    Have a great Sunday!
