Fri 3 SR Comparison Shave
Soap Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
Brush Zenith 28mm Boar
Razor 1 Dorko 43 Near Wedge
Razor 2 Titan ACRM-2 African Timber Scale
Aftershave RazoRock Mudder Focker Splash
This is just a top-shelf soap with a super creamy and very slick lather, whipped up easily by the unbelievably soft & large boar brush. Soap & AS scents matched nicely!
Today's shave was to compare one of my top SRs with a buttery smooth edge with this Titan after putting it through the LaLune & the full diamond balsa progression. Both were strop on the Kanayama. Dorko (easily passes the HHT) was on the left & Titan (absolutely failed TTT/HHT) was on the right. 3passes and Dorko did not fail...super nice and efficient but the surprise was the Titan...it did very well, and the edge was very comfortable and more efficient than the initial use. Overall, Dorko's result was bbs-ccs while Titan's was dfs-sas. Some red creeper and minor irritation on the left...hahaha. Delightful comparison...

Fri 3rd February

RR 400. SE Plissoft noir
Vitos Super Red
Schick E2 - Canada
NOS Schick S/S - Holland ( 3 )
GB Grey Flannel A/S Lotion

Have missed an Injector rotation because of Xmas / New Year, so have gone a bit out of sequence.Always nice to start of with this rather nice E2 from Canada, which is so much better than my care worn USA version.
As usual with this Razor a very pleasant and satisfying Shave, especially with a NOS Dutch blade on board and a great Vitos lather.

Black handled Gillette Superspeed Flare tip, landed today from @OrangeSport along with a tuck of Wilkies and a Palmolive stick! I had not shaved this morning so I did so within minutes of this arriving.

Brush is my vintage 400 with Oumo boar. Bespoke Black Suede and Fougere on top of a light coating of bio oil to take the edge off the very close shave I just had with the above (freshly unwrapped blade).

Many thanks to Jason for sending me my birth year Gillette and the kind freebies.
