Edwin 3one6
Gillette nacet
Dendi pure aftershave


First use of 3one6 and it was a cracker. Smooth and efficient shave left my face smooth like glass. Razor wasn't aggressive as I expected from reading on the forums. Quite similar to the DE89. I have to make direct comparison in the future.

Brush: Wald J4
Soap: CGC Shiloh
Razor: Koraat 14-2.0
Post: CGC Shiloh AS & Penhaligons Tragedy of Lord George

No fuss shave this morning, nice smooth finish with an excellent set. Finished of with a sample of Lord George, whether they go together in the traditional sense I have no idea but it was pleasant. No way I'd pick up a full bottle though, it really doesn't last all that long on me given the price tag!

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Saturday 14 September

Back to de shaving this week after a week of se lather catchers. Today an old French travel razor set which is marginally bigger than a Zippo lighter. The case is stamped Le Pullman and Getting-Jonas-Titan. The handle is in two pieces so one half slides inside the other and the case then takes everything and a couple of loose blades comfortably. Really clever neat design and unlike a lot of French razors like the Gibbs it will take a normal de blade without modification. The head base plate has no comb striations just a straight plain edge. However, after lathering with the Williams soap the razor performed admirably giving a bbs finish in 2 passes and a few pick ups. It has quite a large shave angle but is best when laid flatter to the skin. Guys with large hands might find the short handle a problem and the blade does clog up but overall I love it and for ease of shaving on the move it’s perfect.
Have a terrific weekend fellas, warmer weather on the way!

Martin de Candre Original
Edwin Jagger travel

Feather Hi-Stainless
Village Barber balm


​

A satisfying Saturday shave. Two passes and a lovely smooth result. A superb lather was created this morning. The Martin de Candre is an excellent soap and the Edwin Jagger travel brush is clearly a better brush than you might expect, although, to me, it does feel and look like the synthetic equivalent of a pure badger knot brush.
