    Dove Men Face Wash
    TOBS Lavender
    Jayaruh #46
    Baili BD179 TTO
    Gillette Wilkinson Sword
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Vegetal

    The Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #46 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Baili BD179 TTO razor with a Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Pinaud Lilac Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I had my Maiden Shave Tonight with my Freshly Honed Eicker Solingen 7/16...This is the 1st Time that I have Honed an SR..I have been using Lapping Film for sometime & have been getting good consistent results with SE Hollow Ground & Wedge Blades..:)

    I am currently getting a set of Naniwa Super stones together..I was a Wee Bit Canny Honing this SR..I had to Do One Extra Pass to get the usual results I would Normally get from a Professionally Honed Blade..I have never Shaved with such a Small Blade either..Not quite as Smooth or Keen Edge as I am used to but I had a Darn Close & Irritation Free Shave Tonight..:angelic007:

    Nach meiner Meinung sind die Voskhod Klingen die Beste aus Russland. Keine andere Marke kann sich mit ihnen in der Langlebigkeit vergleichen. Leider sind diese Schätze in Kanada nicht verfügbar - damn! :sad023:

    Yes. Just got this in on a pass around, different forum and first shave will be tomorrow. Really light. Going to test as is then with a heavier handle to see how much of a difference there is going heavier. First time out the gate with the Aladdin Spice and at first not sure if I liked the scent when I rubbed some aftershave on my wrist but upon dry down, oh yeah I like this one.

    WEDNESDAY
    Evening Shave for Tomorrow
    Some vintage Solingen steel for tonight's shave—F. W. Engles 'LEADER'— a large full-hollow blade that is oh-so-smooth and quite loud. After shaving with silent Sheffield wedges for a few days, its a big change! One of the 'easier' razors to use that I own—despite it's size of the lightweight, round-pointed blade. Wonderful shave!
    Have a great Hump day, everyone!

    Back to the wedges. Day 8 was celebrated with the Nordic Beauty again but with a different blade. Each shave continues to get better and better. The harshness is smoothing out and difficult areas are starting to cooperate. :happy088:

    They are far more demanding of attention and technique than other SEs but I am enjoying that aspect. When you get a stroke that is right you really know it. I can see where this will be a whole different shaving experience as these become default. :happy036:

    I haven't been posting shaves because I was doing simple 2 pass shaves which still leave a lot of hair. I decided to do a night shave and it went well. A few weepers along the neck line. But I'm smooth. A little irritation but that's from me chasing the baby. The initial lather was too wet and airy. I had to start over, but the soap was good. Still not as slick.

    So far the sterling soap has been the slickest for me. Ive been using the sample I got in a trade and I'm diggin the scent and performance of the sterling soap.
