Wed 15th May

Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
Alphas Classic G4 28mm
La Toja stick- grated
Schick N3
Schick S/S Twin- Japan ( 2 )
La Toja A/S Lotion

A really excellent Shave, set up for a trip to the coast.Actually managed to meet friend who was doing up a house,do not envy them the work to be done.After a couple of bad calls, managed to get a very late lunch.

 
Colonial General V1
Proline blade
Simpson Brush
A&E Soap

That’s more like it, IMO the General V1 is a better shave than the V2, efficient but without the roughness of V2. Still doesn’t lay a glove on the Mongoose it La Faulx though. Im glad I got to try it as I’m not sure I would buy it considering the other 2 razors I prefer so much more.
 


Simpson Duke 2 SiLVERTiP
The Goodfellas Smile Styletto
Polsilver Łódź (2)
OSP Barbershop
Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel
Paco Rabanne a/s

Better second use of the Styletto. I didn’t immediately click with the razor, and I was envisioning a quick turnaround. It’s a mild aluminium razor and I rather unfairly judged it against the Karve Overlander, as it shares many characteristics. I will give it a fair few uses before evaluating if it’s a keeper.
Why do I keep buying new razors when I think I’ve found perfection with my Overlander?

Enjoy yours chaps.
