You can never fault my secret SpeedyPC aftershave, we need MOAR!!! Aussie and Kiwis P&C to start using my #1 budget aftershave.

I agree as super cheap and very hydrating. I did add a few drops of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30 ml and the results have been as good as any store bough post shave!

/ The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA
/ Nivea Skin & Stubble

Yup, remembered why I put the Parker away. The blade angle means anything other than riding the cap is uncomfortable. At normal shaving angles it’s a scraper. And with that blade gap, an aggressive one to boot. That being said, it is efficient for what it is and I did get a close shave. Just not a fun one. Pity, as the quality and design of the razor itself is one of Parker’s better ones.

"The Ordinary" is the brand name. You can get it online, in Myer, or in Priceline.

WR2 1.25
German Wilkie
TroyCraft 26mm 2-Band Badger
Stirling Executive Man soap/splash

what an incredible shave, 3 days growth and left with nothing but smooth BBS. The Wiklie and WR2 paring is the best I have had, not sure how many times i have used this blade but its been more than 4 which is my limit with blades and still going strong.

Absolutely love this soap, when its end is near i'll be sure to grab two sets this time. Sandpiper will be one of them without any doubt but what else to get? any suggestions from the forum?

I have decided to spend some time with my odds and sods to see if I can improve their edges. This morning I chose my Ralf Aust "6/8", American point, full hollow, dressed in blond horn scales.

After yesterday morning's over-zealous shave that left my BBS all over, I was glad to find this morning that I had some patches of DFS on my upper lip, chin and a few small places on my neck. At least I had these patches to shave.

Before getting into this morning's shave, I put the RA through a full balsa strop progression. I then shaved using my normal three-pass routine; WTG (not really needed as there was nothing to cut), XTG + fool's pass and another XTG in the opposite direction.

It has been a few weeks since my last RA shave. Upon comparing this morning's shave and my shaving notes, my fool's pass this morning was slightly better than the last time with the RA. I'm putting that down to the pre-shave full balsa strop progression.

Tomorrow morning I'll do the same again with this RA and see if there is still further improvement.

- Razorock Lupo 72, Timeless Scratch & Dent handle, Super Iridium & Oumo 26mm LotusTip

- Saponifico Varesino soap and post-shave

The Lupo 72 seems to give me a a loser shave under the jaw than the Lupo 95 (and closer than most of my other razors)

I get it from Priceline and a few drops on the skin post shave makes the skin feel hydrated.
