Thursday 2nd March

Soap • Barrister & Mann Cheshire
Brush • Yaqi Rocks 30mm Synthetic
Razor • Riron AC Feather Clone
Blade • Kai Protouch MG (6/7?)
Post • Puig Quorum Aftershave




My new toy, a Feather AC clone arrived today, so I took the opportunity to use it. Well, it shaved pretty well with a Protouch MG with half a dozen or so shaves under it's belt.
The razor came with some Chinese knock of Kai Protouch MG's. I duly loaded one, but I might aswell have not bothered - it didn't cut a single hair in 3-4 strokes. I might try one of those blades in my Hawk to see how it performs?

The blades . . . .



Cheshire soap really is good. It seems very thirsty, and performs very well when at the point of being almost over-hydrated.
Finished with Puig Quorum Aftershave, I'm well shaven and smelling good.
 
I had another cracker of a shave today with the 1957 red-tip fitted with a Super Blue blade.

As I just got a replacement tub of DG Apogee, I used that, lathered with PAA synth so I didn't half empty the tub with a stiff boar, added tons of water and away I went.

Couldn't have been a better start to my day, however, work beckoned and I have just found time to pop this on!

Lovely looking razor. How did you find it compared to the non-folder?

Cheers!

I picked the set up from Anticatura. I've ordered from them before, actually where I got this razor and previously my replated slim.

Always worth keeping an eye on them as they sometimes get in different US brands and manage to get the matching EDPs on occasion.

Salut!
 
A bit of a rarity with me and a morning shave, but a damn lovely one. This one arrives pixilated with the theme, 'Quark strangeness and charm'

Bottom quark - Feather
Charm quark - Signature Soaps Wicstun
Up quark - Yaqi Dandelion
Down quark - L'Occitane Cade balm
Strange quark.......

Came across a chap riding this oddity while I was out on my 'normal' bike as we know it Jim. Curiosity asked 'why?'. 'Because you can'. I would have thought 'Because I am completely out of my tree' might have been more what I was thinking of. Kudos to the man though. Even if traffic lights might be an interesting prospect.


'Honestly it was some daft twat on two bikes slapped together'

Strange bikes aside what a wonderful shave and I must admit that for some reason it felt so damn smooth first thing in the morning. Just what the start to a day of pulling things off needed. And of course Wicstun in Wicstun. Very fitting and respectful to Market Weighton.

Off to work it is...


Strange? Nearly as strange as M.O.8. A band described as a drumming Buddhist monk meets a genderist guitarist meets someone. I love them for some reason....
