Taking a leaf from
@donnie_arko , I am using 1 soap this week, well cream actually to start making a hole in them. I have had the CRS for about 8yrs. and it has barely been used? it is a really good performing soap with a scent i like, that's the rabbit hole for you!
I am also going to use some of my DE razors as they have been neglected for some time due to my journey into Vintage and New SE razors.
I will be using 1 DE razor until blade is done. then move onto the next until I am pulled uncontrollably back to my SE's
A while back I bought a few different mixed DE blade packs and I will be running through them before I return to the many favoured 100 packs I have bought since.
A nice 3 pass shave today and a better experience than the first time I used the 39C Slant, matched with a Timor blade it gave a no issues comfortable shave, the blade does not feel extra sharp although it is smooth. Result = DFS+
I like the look of this razor and do enjoy using it.
A nice post shave routine with some indication on the neck from the block, calmed down by the Bart's Balm, finishing with the Copycat TV - still not sure about this one and Mrs TC does not like it, therefore, when the sample has gone it will not be replaced.
Have a great weekend All
