Parker 22R V1/new Astra Keramik
Muehle-Pinsel Aloe s/s
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Grey Flannel a/s
Grey Flannel edt

First shave ever with an Astra Keramik blade, and it's pretty good. The Muehle soap is from the new formulation, and it's excellent--plenty of lather, a very nice scent, and very soothing.

2008.01.11 Shave of the Day

Shave
Razor: Feather Artist Club DX Japanese Style Non-Folding Razor ACD-N [Link]
Razor Blades: Feather Professional Blades for Feather ACD-N [Link]
Razor: Merkur 700 Futur Adjustable Double Edged Safety Razor Satin [Link]
Razor Blades: 7am Platinum Double Edged Razor Blades v2 [Link]
Bowl: Mitsuwa 6" Beige shallow hand thrown Japanese bowl with side rest [Link]
Brush: Omega 6212 Elegant Silvertip Badger Natural Handle Shave Brush [Link]
Shave Cream/Soap: Kiss My Face Unscented Shave Cream [Link]
Shave Cream/Soap: Mama Bear Dragon's Blood Glycerin Shave Soap [Link]
Technique: (Feather WTG/ATG)/(DE XTG/Cleanup)
Post Shave
Hair Tonic: Lucky Tiger Special Formula Hair Tonic [Link]
Aftershave: Ogallala Bay Rum Aftershave [Link]

Result: 3.8/5.0 The Mama Bear soap lacked cushion and glide. I fooled around with the water/soap ratio but it still lacked some performance which was quickly evident when the Feather ACD-N gave me two tiny weepers and then to add insult to injury, the Merkur gave me a weeper. They dried up in seconds but still. I squirted some Kiss My Face Unscented into the bowl with the Mama Bear and bingo. Instant decent lather and no more weepers. It's 2 hours later and the Ogallala Bay Rum Aftershave is still going strong.

 

Feather MR3, tripple blade cartridge razor
Vulfix Mayfair brush
Williams mug soap (straight up, no mixing)
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The Feather MR3 is a nice razor, great for travel.




Watch-of-the-day: 22 year old gold plated Seiko dress watch.

 

Don't understand anything, but it looks snazzy.. "and cartridgy".. Love the ad tho... MR3 Neo with a roller, what will they come up with next? 5 blades?
