    SOTD:
    Some beautiful shaves over the last week, with the derby blade starting to show its age, not yet tugging buts its definitely lost a lot of sharpness. Fantastic blades for the price and even though its on the opposite end of the spectrum to my beloved feathers, they provide an absolutely amazing shave. They're also some of the cheapest blades around so great value for money.

    Whenever my blades lose some sharpness, i tend to go for my slicker soaps with arko being the slickest of the slick i have, so i used that all week.

    I also used my blue stratos, an aftershave ive had for a few years but not yet featured in any of my SOTD posts. I also used my relatively new old spice Wolfthorn.

    Shave 1:
    Razor: Jagen David E-01
    Blade: derby extra (7)
    Soap: arko shave stick
    Brush: omega 49
    Aftershave blue stratos

    Shave 2:
    Razor: Jagen David E-01
    Blade: derby extra (8)
    Soap: arko shave stick
    Brush: omega 49
    Aftershave blue stratos

    Shave 3:
    Razor: Jagen David E-01
    Blade: derby extra (9)
    Soap: arko shave stick
    Brush: omega 49
    Aftershave: old spice Wolfthorn

    Also i made a new shave forum, please check it out at https://matthewoli98.wixsite.com/mysite
