Just love this razor, it’s had a light polish as for some unknown reason it had a number of very dark spots/tarnish appear despite being stored in my bathroom cabinet as usual. I’ve managed to get it back to a more uniform colour, I like the patina it had but this was well beyond its normal look so it had to be cleaned. I’ll store it in the bedroom from now on to avoid this happening again. As for the shave it was smooth and simple as always. The soap and splash are a refreshing start to the day, this is one of my favourite set ups.

Greetings,

Early morning shave.

An enjoyable shave to finish my slant razor, sub-continent blade focus & shaving week off superbly.

Throughout the past month or so, my revisiting sub-continent blade focus has been a pleasure. All of the blades that i have revisited have gave me close comfortable shave.

The Statum Platinum Chrome are my new favourite blade which are equal with the Treet 7-Day platinum. Both of these blades are incredibly smooth sharp & efficient and will add them to my blade rotation more regularly in my future SOTD set ups.

Starting next week I'll be revisiting my Egyptian & Turkish made DE blades for the next month or longer pairing them up with various DE razors.

A very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine. ;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

Blimey the razor is surprisingly efficient, and deserves a little more respect than I initially gave it. Been a while but I managed to slightly catch myself on the neck, a little more care needed perhaps

But the star for me is this new set, blimey it smells lovely. A citrus, tobacco and woods scent, the splash is heavier on the citrus, at least to my half dead nose, but settles down and just smells brilliant. Very pleased seeing as this was a blind buy!

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Yes! The RFB New is more efficient than one might expect, but it's a glorious razor once you get used to it.

Give it some my time my friend, I'm sure you will love it.
