Thank you dear sir!

Happy shaving to one and all for this new week!

 

Aha. Thanks Bill. I've never actually heard anyone say Jolly Good. Maybe its time to start using that phrase again.

March into Artist Club Blades

March 6

Razor - Feather SS
Blade - (6)
Brush - Vie Long 12601 The Pony
Soap - Tabac
Post - Cold Rinse, Alum, Nivea Original Balm, The Veg

Day six on the Kai Mild with Feather SS and it's back to the Vie Long brush. Last time with this brush I rushed it a bit and didn't get the brush soaked right ending with a difficult lather. Today I made sure it went into the N mug early and got a good soak. Amazing difference. Fantastic lather to start the day. The blade is still performing extremely well, still smooth and effective. Perhaps just a hint of dullness but that may also be my mishandling an angle or two in places. Still got a three pass DFS without any blood or other issues. Alum was slightly hot but not bad and I attribute that to some ATG work on the final pass.

One more day to let the blade show its stuff then on to the sharper Kai Original. For now I will say that the Kai Mild could be used every shave and provide great results and with very low risk of a bloody mess. Nothing wrong with that result at all!
