Another superb shave to end the week. Had a brilliant run with this blade. Usually only get 5 shaves out of AC type blades.

(y) Yeah, I almost withdrew the comment thinking how inappropriate it would be to use the cat (or anything) for both toiletries, and a soft shaving brush for the other :banghead:
 
That one made my day @SpeedyPC ROFLMAO :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

The big boar doesn't need breaking in it is such a big soft beast of a boar with less scritch than a pure badger

The Treet gave a decent shave but not stunning like the other day in the Rocnel Elite. If this was the first razor I tried these blades in I would've gone 'Meh'.

Brush: Yaqi 30mm
Head: Leaf Razor
Blade: Polsilver SI (3)
Face: RR Mamba // Karve Brass SB (D plate)
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (2)
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira Shavery Lathering Bowl
Soap: Cella
Post: Allum // Stirling Soap Co. Unscented balm // APR Escentials Restoration Serum // APR Junos EdT sample

Weekend shaves were a mixed bag. Cella + Yaqi + PS Lathering Bowl = consistently great lather. The Bic blade is super sharp so thought it a good idea to pair with super mild Mamba and received a SFS with spots of regrown around the chin within a few hours. There's a reason I hardly use the Mamba as its just too inefficient for my liking :(

Todays shave was much better as the Karve paired exceptionally with the sharper blade that I managed to nick myself on the check. Finished off with the Serum and some Junos EdT sample which got the thumbs up from the misses (y)

Sublime shave with this precision tool.

 
Pre: Warm Shower
Razor: WR2 1.25 SB
Blade: Polsilver
Brush: Yaqi Silvertip badger

Another excellent lather from the badger and the wr2 is just amazingly smooth but so efficient, at times this is taken for granted and rewarded with a weeper or two.
