S.O.T.D. Saturday 4th June to Friday 10th June 2016

Vintage...
Brush Omega bristle, soap Old Spice, Fatip open comb, UFO Goliath XL, Astra superior platinum, aqua velva ice blue.
Father month, I close the day to celebrate, so I start to wait. The foam is dense, dense, dense, moisturizing, barely perceive as Fatip slides carrying the astra edge, improves its performance with this extraordinary handle. I was craving fresh finish with aqua velva, I run out of sight for a few seconds, I moved to my memories. This longing for the past. Put in row your top ten soaps that have or want, I 'll take this . Oh daddy...

This Ri,Mei razor weights 41 grams (head 15,5 Grams), is very solid build and has a really good grip because of the deep lines in the handle.

Used my preShave, arko commando cream (very slick!), Plisson L'Occitane face lathering.

With zhe Sputnik (2) blade a very smooth companion this razor.
Unfortunately not efficient enough for me, had to do some post work with my Progress.

Nevertheless impressed with this Ri,Mei, probably a 2€ razor (got it gifted), feels nice in the hand, good blade positioning without the need to fumble and correct the gap/position, and it shaves like a Tech!

handle is hollow, and the knob is screwed in, so it could be filled to increase weight. But I find the balance to be good as is.


Cheers, Olaf
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage 1964 rebranded Macys silvertip flopmeister
1956 Diplomat/Personna74
Coates rose SC (old small tube version)
no aftershave
Aramis 'Havana' EdT (vintage juice that smells a lot like the current version....very nice!)

Loaded a Personna today as a special treat kinda thing. Great razor/blade combo with the last 4 days using the Diplomat.

BBS results,

Martin
