Thursday

Morning, everyone.

Razor: EJDE89
Blade: Super Max SS(6)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: La Toja grated into a bowl
Aftershave: Ricardo L'Homme, Musk

The blade felt a little scrapy this morning and I did notice a little irritation near the Adam's apple but, thanks no doubt to the excellent La Toja, it was gone in a few minutes leaving me with a clean face and an accidental BBS.

Wednesday evening

Edwin Jagger DE86 head
Ikon handle
Omega Pro 48
HTGAM Synergy Lime soap
Aqua Velva

First time using the HTGAM soap and the tin in comes in is bloody HUGE so decided touse my big Kent but after two attempts to lather I gave up, the laterh was disappearing as quickly as it hit my face and the brush seemed to not create it very well.

Very disappointed but then ditched the Kent for a big boar and bingo, we not just had lather but we had exceptional lather. Excellent glide and comfort and an excellent shave was the result.

Try the soap out tonight with a different badger and see how it goes.

Try to soften the soap first with a bit of warm water, then you should be good to go!

Sorry to sound like an idiot, but HTGAM? I assume it's an acronym but it's not in my memory bank anywhere.

My first time with the slant and I am amazed at how efficient this razor is. I hadn't shaved for 3 days as I was waiting for this razor to arrive. 2 passes and just as good as a 3 pass with my Progress. Zero irritation and no nicks. Well pleased :icon_cheesygrin:
