Soap - Kent
Brush - Yaqi Cashmere
Razor - Gillette Tech Aluminium
Blade - Kleen Shave (1)
Post - Alum/Lea Balm
AS - Akcay Tobacco
First time using one of the blades Carl sent me, a blade I know nothing about by the name of Kleen Shave. I went with a razor I know well to test a new blade. The blade seems sharp and smooth enough but I picked up a weeper on a spot on my face I often get them, probably down to the result of shaving daily and doing more than a pass per day. Not much post shave burn, so I reckon the blade was a good one.

Razor = Karve CB Aluminium ( D )
Blade = Sharp By Swiss Quality
Brush = Highlander Hibernian 26mm Boti Badger
Soap = Stirling Scots Pine Sheep
with matching splash
Balm = Bart’s Balm Ben Macdui
This shave was t the best due to the blade.
One pass was relatively good
second pass it got gradually worse but the third pass was no good at all.
The Razor, Brush, Soap & Balm were all first class but these blades are just shite.
The last De blade i used was from the same company but certainly not the same quality.
I could have stopped half way through but i love self harming lol.
Iv got more of these blades to get through so i’ll give them a go i’m up for a challenge although once & done is enough for anyone.
Never Mind there’s always tomorrow

Razor: Leaf Thorn
Blade: Leaf Half DE Blades, 1st use
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Goodfellas Smile Chronos Puck
Balm: Bart's Balm BEN KILBRECK Balm
Fragrance: Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man EdP
A new addition to the den arrived via an eBay. I loved my old Twig but it was a little too mild for my daily needs. I’ve been waiting to find a Thorn bargain and it finally came along via the Bay. It was just what I needed today as I had next to no time to get ready this morning and needed a quick and easy shave. The Thorn stepped up brilliantly, still smooth and effortless with a slight increase in efficiency, whats not to like. Despite a very quick first shave, it was so easy to use and gave me a great DFS for a first attempt. I feel this is a keeper!
