Last couple shaves

IMG-20210327-123350.jpg

Brush: TF Customs Clear/Black/Yellow 26mm 2 Band Finest
Razor: Merkur 37C // Leaf Razor
Blade: Gillette Nacet (4)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Squadron Soaps Dispatch Rider
Post: Nivea 2 Phase Post Shave Lotion // Thayers Aloe & Lemon Witch Hazel // AP Reserve Escentials Restoration Serum + The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30 ml
WTG, ATG, XTG, Touchups = DFS // DFS

Two contrasting shaves as the 37C worked great but the Leaf not as good on my face as the Nacet blades felt super harsh and left me with a few nicks and irritation on my neck :( Head shave ended up nice so can't really complain as the 37C touched up the missed spots leaving me happy...

Stay Safe & Have a Great Remainder to the Weekend!

I'm getting more comfortable with the Feather razor however getting an even shave on both sides of the face remains a challenge: the left side, where I use a left hand grip for, does not turn out to be as smooth as the right side.

I do like your excellent choice of hot pink for your shavette. (y):p

It says "Gillette" on the end of it, so it must belong to @Mark1966. An admission of guilt, perhaps?

I'm sure I noticed this one in your den -

Ugh, I've come across some silly ideas in my time, but that is sillier than most. I find it somewhat disturbing that @Mark1966 has obviously devoted some time towards tracking down such an atrocity... :unsure:

Oh yeah, silly as. Going from the sublime to the ridiculous.

These sort of things come up in my FB feed - the joys of posting about REAL razors ...

Pre-shave: Warm water
Brush: Wolf Whiskers - custom 30mm tuxedo
Soap/Cream: A&E - Revolution
Razor: Karve CB - SS SB (F)
Blade: Personna - Platinum (2)
Post-shave: A&E - Revolution AS splash / A&E skin food nourishing cream.

2 pass WTG daily shave = DFS+. Great shave. Personna blades are a winner in this razor combo. A&E skin food I have been trialling. For myself and my skin it's the best balm I have used. No greasiness and leaves the face plump and hydrated.

Weekend shaves

  • Razor: Muhle Rocca R96
  • Blade: Dorco ST300
  • Brush: Oumo 26mm Hook Fan
  • Soap: Barrister & Mann - Rhapsody
  • Post: Nivea Sensitive
Bright fruity and floral. Just the right balance of flowery, sweet and tart. It's everything I hoped AE Kaizen would have been but better. It does work better as a spring scent, probably why it was released now for all the northerners and not us. I love it. This is exactly the kind of soap I auto-purchase, and this time, I'm glad I did.

  • Razor: Alpha Shaving Co - Outlaw
  • Blade: Shark SS
  • Brush: Oumo 28mm TH
  • Soap: Declaration Grooming - Weinstrasse
  • Post: Nivea Sensitive
Like smelling the bottom of a wine barrel after it's been emptied. Definitely wine forward, with some woody notes and a hum of something sweet in the background. Like a white wine fougere. I noticed Chatillon Lux won a bunch of awards for this scent back in 2019. Definitely has something else going on other than just wine though. Look forward to exploring it further.

  • Razor: Henson AL-13 - Medium
  • Blade: Feather HS
  • Brush: Yaqi Moka 26mm 2-Band
  • Soap: Zingariman - The Gatherer
  • Post: Nivea Sensitive
And then there's The Gatherer. Scent strength low, which I don't mind. I didn't want it to be 'in your face' smelling of cut peaches. It starts off as a musky peach and then as you lather it, turns more into a peachy musk. The musk notes bloom out when the soap is used. Sego base performs as usual.

A great start to the working week and more reason why I need a decent adjustable in my den as this mornings shave was effortless! This one will do the job but it still feels cheap and the doors/knob tend to be sticky so doubt it will last with continued use...? :(

Stay Safe & Have a Great Week! :)
