Hot shower and towel threatment
Edwin Jagger BBB
Merkur Futur
Red IPs(d5)
TOBS Eton College
Nivea sensitive A/S Balm

I did some handstropping to the blade and could easily put out a 5th shave. This was the last shave with this blade and I'm quite sure that I will place an order for this blade really soon. It feels great that I found this blade in such a short time in my testing but I will probably continue some testing of the others in the sample just because of the fun

The Nivea does get the job done as good as the Zirh soothe and it will now be my go to balm. A nice breakthrough and a good reason to place an order for Red IPs and some new shavingcream

 

Beard: two days worth
Razor: Gillette Senator
Blade: Gillette Super Stainless day 2
Brush: re knotted Fuller
Lather: Yardley Gentleman's Lavender
A/S: Aqua Velva



After re visiting my Senator I'd have to rate it at about the same aggressiveness as a Red Tip Super Speed and it gave me a great close shave today. The angle is a little bit different than a SS though.

 

Great looking shave Chris!
