Greetings,

Two new DE razor maiden shaves in my weekend SOTD'S.. , firstly with the Lord L125 razor & Platinum Class blade, which is last of the shaving kit kindly passed on to me by a work mate of mine.The verdict?....

The L125 is a light weighted mild aluminum handled non-aggressive razor,very like my aluminum Gillette tech,(with a longer handle & more efficient) with a ( /Merkur/Muhle R89/EJ DE 89 head),which makes the razor 'head-heavy' but that's a good point IMHO.

The blade alignment i had no issues with. The Lord Platinum class blade was excellent,it paired up really well with the razor,non-aggressive, but Sharp & smooth.

The finish quality of the razor isn't the best, but what do you expect from a inexpensive razor, in my case it's cost me £0.00p.

For it's maiden shave i can't complain..i don't compare razors, to me, all of my razors have qualities, granted some are better than others ,i may try the razor-head with a heavier handle(a possible good frankenrazor?) on it's next outing, but today the L125 /with the matching Lord Platinum class blade gave me a safe comfortable irritation free shave, which i'm very happy with. What more could i ask for.

A wonderful non-aggressive 3 pass + pick ups DFS, with no errors to report.

Another excellent addition to my growing DE razor collection.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Sat 30th Sept
Stirling Syn. 26mm
MWF
Brass General/Windrose handle
Feather Pro [ 2 ]
Alum Rub/rinse off
Myrsol Antesol A/S lotion

Have finally settled on a handle that works for me with the Brass General.Though the original did not slip, I find that I am more confident using it with a knurled handle which I can wield with precision. I note Colonial will be using a similar style handle on the new S/S model.

The Shave today was really good as being able to vary the grip on the the handle enabled me to do the lightest polishing up strokes to attain a super close all round shave. If the S/S Model shaves as well as this it is going to be a real bargain compared with other S/S offerings.

Well SEptember has gone out with a bang, what a fantastic sexy looking, well balanced shaving machine the Cobra is (many thanks to @Digimonkey for the loan) My phone camera does the razor no favours at all.
The Schick Proline blade, too mild for the Brass General, effortlessly swept down the stubble. I think I could shave blindfolded with this combo, okay, okay, in a badly lit room.
For some reason this song came to mind whilst shaving:
 
Greetings All,

Saturday shave.

Two days' growth and warm shave

Preparation – face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Pre: None
Soap: Fine – Platinum
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable (I3) setting 4
Blade: Polsilver (4th)
Brush:Razorock 400 Noir (face lather)

Post Shave: Cold water rinse, shower, then Proraso aftershave lotion (Red) and Nivea Original balm.

I have enjoyed my week using my Gillette Slim Adjustable – definitely a keeper. Today, using my Razorock 400, I whipped up a great, slick lather with the Fine Platinum (grated into a tub). Two passes today (WTG and XTG) and feeling good for the weekend.

Cheers,

Brian

Everyone – have a great weekend :)
