I still love the concept of the Blackland Era and was hoping to see more of this kind of thing made - Oh well.
The level 3 plate is mild, that goes without saying, i find it a similar shaving experience to the Feather AS-W2, that is, once you find the small efficiency window and you can keep that angle throughout the shave you are rewarded with a very comfortable shave.
Today 3 full passes for a very comfortable BBS finish.
Citrus Musk is a favourite scent of mine with a nice rub of the splash to finish.
Yes, i did enjoy that.
I would love to try or buy a #4 plate.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Wow, what a shave! Great lather and a close but incredibly comfortable shave with the AS-D1 and a new Feather blade. Quite a contrast to yesterday’s R41 shave and yet quite a similar result. Surprising.

Something a little different for me today. Decided to mix my lather in a bowl, rather than on my face.

Wilkinson Sword soap
Omega Boar brush
R45 Twist
5th shave for the Shark SS

Oh, and a lovely strong coffee....

I don't really use a bowl very often and probably used a bit too much, but the WS soap lathered up really well.

Just my usual 2 passes, with a good hot wash before each pass and a couple of cold washes after the shave.

Smooth, comfortable and trouble free. I give my face a day off on Fridays, so this blade will get its last outing on Saturday before I swap razor and blade for the next week.

Double post from yesterday and today as I was out and about for most of the day. The Tabac stick always comes away with me as it’s just the easiest lathering soap I own. The Stirling Campania just smells of spring and summer, and is an another regular for going away.
Back home now after a lovely break near Chatsworth, plenty of Bakewell pudding and tarts, now trying to sort the insurance for the caravan window!

I'm not one to get badger brush envy but this brush is a notable exception! It's a beauty of a restored brush.
