Pre shave prep: Pears Transparent Lemon flower
Brush: Omega 63185 Pure Badger
Soap: P&B Star Noir
Razor: Occam Classic V1 Plate #1
Blade: Feather pro PB (7)
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Floïd AS Balm
A/S: Floïd Mentolado VIgaroso
An outing for the Occams V1 today, I also decided to change the plate to the single Dot. As had been mentioned on the forum the screws were very tight, instead of using the set of mini drivers I used the smallest long handle driver from an electricians set i have and had no issues with the screws. Loaded up with the Feather PB with a nice lather from the P&B soap and Omega, again shavings pressed into the bowl as the brush is soft and does not pick up well from the tub. A nice slick lather mixed up in the Giles, lovely.
A very nice 2 Pass shave WTG & XTG/AGT mix, then a seek and destroy pick up pass. On the 1 Dot plate the Occams is very mild and comfortable, after yesterdays very close shave there was not a lot to go at. The razor was very forgiving and i don't think it would stand up against stronger stubble on the 1 Dot. I will give it a few run outs on this plate before changing back to #2.
A Nice post shave routine starting with a rub of the Barts Balm Peppermint balm and oil just for the face feel i get, finishing with the Floïd AS Balm,
& a splash of Floïd Mentolado VIgaroso.
BBS again and smelling good sitting in the afterglow mentally invigorated.
Enjoy your day All
