Greetings,


Final shave with the personna lab blue, which performed with efficient smoothness,it's a fact that some blades give a smoother shave after a few outings, this was the case with the personna lab blue.


Recently I've been looking through my razor collection to see what i haven't had in my rotation for a while, after my vast ruthless shaving den cleanout the Weishi 9306-I is one i've totally not gave any attention to for a considerable amount of time, i'll be honest i've only used it maybe 3-4 times for face shaving and twice for my monthly head shave since it was passed on to me.

Today paired up with the Personna Lab blue my shave resulted in a fantastic BBS 3 Pass + pick ups super smooth shave with no errors to report...One of the closest shaves i've had for a long time..I'll be adding this rarely used razor more to my sotd set ups in the near future.'WOW'.A phenomenal shave, 'a real face stroker'.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Williams ~ Aqua Velva a/s lotion.

My face is feeling super smooth,refreshed & smelling devine.;)

Wednesday 29th August

YaqI 24mm Tuxedo Marble Handle
Body Shop Maca Root Cream
Merkur Futur 2-1
Astra SP (1)
L'oreal Hydra Sensitive Birch Sap Balm
Blue Stratos ASL

It's been ages since I used my Futur so I gave it a run out with a fresh Astra blade.
Even on lower settings it's far more aggressive than my 6C on higher settings.
Adjusting to the heavy weight of the razor was easy.
I couldn't go back to using a Futur all the time.
Finished with Blue Stratos Aftershave.
It does a very good job for its price
 
Morning shave

Olive Oil Soap
Mike's Hungarian Lavender
Chubby 2 Best Badger
Gillette Fatboy
Gillette Super Stainless (3)
OSP Barbershop Aftershave Tonic
Caron Pour un Homme EDT

It's taken me a couple of shaves to dial the soap in but today's lather was superb. The Aussie Spoiler blade just gets better with each use. A great shave. Have a good day chaps.

Mondial brush -- B&M Bay Rum -- Schick Platinum -- Astra SP -- Lea Classic/Nivea balm

This is my second shave with Schick Platinum razor. Although being very light, this is an effective and smooth razor. I am very pleased.

Heno de Pravia Glycerine Soap
Proraso Green Tea and Oat Pre Shave
Stirling Texas on Fire Soap
Semogue SOC Taj Badger/Boar Brush
GEM Push Button Razor with a GEM SS Blade
Texas on Fire Witch Hazel and Aloe
Aloe Vera Gel
Lynx Oud Wood and Dark Vanilla Fragrance

A lovely shave from the GEM Push Button. Mild but very efficient for a BBS finish:)
 
Parker type 98R clone razor, Astra blade, Yaqi 24mm Moka Express Mew Brown brush. Happy with all these.

Soap - newly arrived Grooming Dept. Magnolia. Well, this soap is a challenge. It's a faceful of intense magnolia, just like all the reviews say. I didn't immediately take to such a strong and single fragrance, and I'll have to see how it lasts in the rotation, but this is a really bold and big statement soap. It lingers too. Performance is faultless and excellent post-shave feel on the face. Quite an experience.....
 
Warm Shower - Bulldog face wash, Bulldog face scrub
KOS Pre shave oil
Le Pere Lucien Oud Neroli Soap (sample)
Edwin Jagger DE87
Polsilver SI (3)
Alum Block

All seemed to work well. Thanks to Bart for the sample. Wonderful stuff, will be on my to purchase list.
