Soap • D R Harris Lavender Stick
Brush • Yaqi Chianti 24mm Synthetic
Razor • Ikon Shavecraft 102 Slant
Blade • Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Post • Arctic Kinesia Aftershave



A very smooth removal of four days growth.
The razor was very kindly (and unexpectedly) gifted to me by the very fine gentleman @RussellR5555, and the excellent Spanish Arctic Kinesia Aftershave by @Digimonkey.

I was going to put off my shave until tomorrow, so I could have a birthday shave, but Mrs L complained about my whiskers - being very well trained, I only need telling once !

​
A fifth good shave from the Treet blade, but I think it will be the last. It was noticeably duller than the first shave in the Blackland razor. Nonetheless a very good performance from a modestly priced blade. I’m certainly happy to use it in my more efficient razors regularly in the future.

Brush: H.L. Thäter 3-band Silvertip Badger
Soap: Moon Soaps Old School
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna P74 (12)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Historic Brands Embargo Blend No. 2.5 Aftershave Lotion
Scent: Portus Cale Black EdT

Another new soap for me, and another pearler. Easy to lather and very good performance, with a delightful scent. To my nose, it is Squadron Group Captain's Blend meets Stirling Barbershop; very warm and inviting. The Embargo Blend aftershave was also a winner - strong alcohol notes with tabacco, mellowing into a woody vanilla finish.

Enjoyable and leisurely use of my new Chubby 1. I tried a Chubby 2 early in my journey and I didn’t enjoy the brick of badger feeling. I think the knot to loft ratio on that is way off, particularly for the density it possess. This however, is much more to my liking. I will be using it for an extended run in order to get well acquainted, as I had to go back to the tub for the last pass.

Enjoy yours chaps.
