(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...

The design of the Supply V2 injector razor is wonderful and like the vintage Schick injectors is solidly built to hold the blade firm & rigid in the razor head with no movement making the shaving experience feel safe comfortable, and smooth with no blade chatter they and very easy to adjust to finding the right shaving angle....As i have mentioned before they are such comfortable smooth efficient shavers too especially for head shaving.

Carrying on with my revisiting DE blade focus with the Vidyut/Supermax Super Stainless which I haven't used for a while.

I had all intention of using my Merkur 37C for my face shave but changed my mind at the last minute and used the 39C instead..I still prefer using the 37C over the 39C, as I like the smaller handle. Both razors however are smooth shavers.

The Vidyuts/Super-Max SS for me have a good to be balanced of smoothness and sharpness they ain't the sharpest of blades i use but like all the other Subcontinent DE blades I have tried they have performed well with each razor i have paired them together with acceptable shaving results.

I will continue using the Vidyut/Supermax Super Stainless, Dorco Prime Platinum & the Gillette Wilkinson sword (Saloon Pack) for a good while as I have such a large amount of these blades to contend with and infrequently haven't gave them much use so I'll be using each blade for two shaves max then it gets binned regardless if I can get more shaves from them. A luxury i can afford to waste.

Another enjoyable close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black

My favorite soap & splash.... whip up nicely by the brush into a creamy and slick lather!
One of my favorite vintage razors...today's shave with both blades was wonderful. The Polsilver is still good...smooth and crisp enough but the Gillette feels smoother and crispier. The result is the same on both sides..bbs finish...

SOTD 22-Apr

Brush: Dogwood DG B16
Soap: A&E Tobacco Road
Razor: Koraat 6/8
Post: A&E Tobacco Road

Decent one this morning, getting into the swing of this weekend routine. Very close shave, excellent scent and now ready to teach my little one to swim this morning, should be entertaining. Was tempted to take her out on lake padarn but I'm not sure a glacial slate lined lake would be good starter, maybe next weekend

Hope everyone has a grand weekend!

Cheers

Razor: ATT S1
Blade: Brazilian Wilkinson Sword (3)
Brush: Simply Turned Silvertip
Soap: Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime



I wasn't impressed with the first Seaforth soap I had and moved it on but I did like the scent. I thought the performance was lacking. I subsequently found that Maggard's had a version of the soap in an apparently improved base called Highlander and it also has a Limited Edition mentholated version. Rude not to. The soap arrived yesterday. Consistency of this base is nearly cream like so it's very easy to overload the brush. The performance is much improved and the cooling sensation is nice. I'm much happier with this purchase.

The ATT S1 also performed flawlessly. This is the performance I remember. Must have been a poor run last time.

Saturday 22 April
Not that I’m into shaving themes as such, but today’s shave had an Italian basis the exception being Astra blade and Razo Rock xXx balm.
I tried several different makes of blade (recommended by JJ Shaves) in the Razorine but none have so far matched the Astra for smoothness and efficiency. I will try these others out in “normal“ DE razors to see if it is just the Razorine head which by design doesn’t curve the blade when clamped but leaves it flat.
As was commented in a previous post (@ATG) certain blades seem to work well in certain razors but not others.
Finished with a BBS face which was a tad irritated I think due to the longish spell keeping my delicate fizog lathered. Some RR shave balm calmed things down and has left me looking forward happily to my COVID booster this afternoon.
Have a great weekend fellas!

TOBS Sandalwood
Blackland Signature
Blackland Blackbird
Treet Platinum
Signature Soaps Hibernia splash


​

Fabulous close shave with a luxurious lather, but, I started the shave with too heavy a hand for this razor and caught a bump on the second stroke causing a persistent bleeder which needed a touch of stypic after the shave. My bad.
