S.O.T.D. Saturday 18th April to Friday 24th April 2015

Palmolive Stick
Polsilver SI (2)
Wilkinson FlipTop

Second go with the FlipTop and I was a bit more careful to not get careless with it's ultra-mild feel. No nicks or weepers but it just seems too mild and was certainly a bit tuggy on the neck to the point of soreness. Probably need more time to work on it or perhaps a different blade but I have about 6 razors I want to try out and I lack discipline to stay at it with the FlipTop.

It'll come back into the rotation at some point but I've got an unidentified, possible Frankenrazor, with a chunky handle and open comb that's calling out to me for my next shave.
 
Tuesday

Frankenrazor (Merkur OC Head+EJ Handle) + Polsilver Super Iridium #1
Semogue 1250
Haslinger Aloe Vera
Nivea ASB

This head and this handle work really well together. :)

Razor and handle are on loan from a friend (@DustinDep). Very mild razor, even with a fresh Feather blade.
MLSW soap whipped up a fantastic lather, sadly it did not live up to its name. ;)
 
Mongoose B2
Plisson synth
Institut Karité
Speick ASL

Nicked my nose, unusually, and got some weepers on my chin. I want IK to work for me. I love the smell and post-shave but the jury's out on its protective qualities relative to my benchmark (MdC, unfortunately).
 
Had a hands-down fantastic shave this morning with my gold Schick "Krona".
This was my first time using a "Krona" and I am VERY impressed by it - quite frankly a "better" razor than many of my Gillettes.
This razor might be the best kept 'secret' as far as quality razors goes and how their prices are reflected on online auction sites.

Nice weight, wonderful handle and a rather mild but very effective head.

Razor: Schick "Krona"
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: L'Occitane Plisson
Soap: Cella
A/S: Myrsol Plastic Shave
Body splash: The Veg
