Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Personna injector
Brush: Jayaruh boar

Soap Commander was terrific again. Nice and easy shave with good results. I particularly enjoyed the nice menthol effect from the Iced Barber Shoppe splash.

Have a great day!

Hello everyone - today's shave with a new razor:



- Phoenix & Beau "Spitfire"
- Maggard Synthetic
- Option Five with ASP
- Thayers Original Astringent

My first shave with a very interesting razor. Heavy, unusual shape, but easy to handle. Head, surface finish, weight and feel remind me of the Merkur Futur. To load the blade you press the two buttons (one on each side of the handle) and the top plate comes off. No blade alignment issues whatsoever, perfect fit.

While shaving you definitely feel the blade on your skin - and you you get a lot of acoustic feedback. The shave might feel a little aggressive at first, but surprisingly it isn't. No nicks, cuts or irritation, two passes (W and ATG) left my face BBS. I am pretty impressed by this razor. Apparently the "Option Five" has been designed in England, made in China and sold by a web-shop based in Switzerland.

My Lucky Tiger arrived and this is a welcome addition to my morning shave.

 

Rented a hotel for my kid's birthday weekend so just took the Rockwell-6 plate for three days. So easy. Razor is just a pleasure to use.

Beaudelaire Day
Superb shave today. Smooth and comfortable with my Rockwell 6s, Astra SP in the R6 plate. I love the scent of Beaudelaire so much that I keep a backup set.

A wonderful shave but there was a little blood because of my carelessness and overconfidence. Yes, the Super Speed allows me to shave fast but it's still a razor so you still have to pay attention. I gave my chin a nick on my third pass and it bled for a little bit. Anyway, I think I'll live. The Gin and Tonic OTR soap, with its delicious scent, great lather, and fantastic menthol effect were so enjoyable. The Glacial Unscented balm and Krampert's Frostbite aftershave ended the shave on a very cold note.

Have a nice day, my peeps!

In keeping with my focus to move through all my razors this month, I'm up to the last two DEs before moving on to the injectors and SEs. Today was the Gillette LC New. Since my last set of shaves from my other New was relatively unremarkable, I wasn't expecting anything special today. I was pleasantly surprised by a bit more aggressive, closer than usual shave from this razor. Paired with TOBS grapefruit cream and Stirling grapefruit AS, was a great way to start the day!

Good morning friends,
Today is my baby girls 21st birthday, how time flies. Her and mom will spend the day at the beach, they've been doing this for the last 15+ years.
I had a wonderful shave using Proraso Sensitive, very easy to lather, slick and protective. The RazoRock Ti Baby Smooth loaded with a Polsilver did the job.
Have a blessed day!!

I've stated before that this razor is mild and I've decided to mild for me. Oh, it's a nice shaver and I like it well enough. Just don't like having to do an extra pass/touch-up to be happy with the results. But, have no fear, the shave still came out fine just to much work for me. Now go enjoy your day folks.
