The Parker Variant is a fantastic razor. I think I prefer it to my Merkur Progress. Great balance and really easy to use and shaves brilliantly.

Brush: Omega 10015
Razor: Merkur 34C
Soap: Archaic Alchemy Eureka
A/S: Pecksniffs Men Professional balm & EDT

In need of some inspiration today, a great soap from a Mexican soap maker. Haven't used my 34C in so many months, nice to revisit my starter razor and it gave me the best shave I have had from it. I used a Super-Max Super Stainless for the first time, very nice blade for me. Quite enjoyed it and if the other blades are as good, I may pick up a batch, very cheap.​

Cream: L'Occitane Cade

Another fantastic shave today!

Second shave with the Gillette Slim, as yesterday the Slim was set to 4 and worked so well I thought I would see what 5 was like, the shave was great. Will try 6 next time.
 
Monday 9th

Soap - P&B Star Noir
Brush - Semogue 1470
Bowl - Steve Woodhead Ceramics
Razor - Schick Eversharp Injector G8
Blade - Schick Injector (ex - China)
Post - Thayer's and Floïd MV

With the slight roughness of the 1914, it was nice to get back to the close efficiency of the G8. Performed really well with the Star Noir; resulting in a BBS shave, with little touch-up. The Floïd's good stuff too; great post-shave feel. Nice little burn, followed by much coolness.
