Friday 27th April

Wickham 1912 Parma Violet
YaqI Chianti 24mm Synthetic
R41
PolSilver SI (2)
Lime witch hazel (home mix)
Myrsol Lemon AS

With three days growth the R41 was my first choice.
I've only used it a handful of times and on it's last outing I sustained a couple of nasty nicks. I escaped unscathed today, having taken my time and light strokes.
Not quite BBS but very close.
Finished with Myrsol Lemon. It's a shame the scent doesn't linger longer.
 
What gear are you using here? I like the look of that razor.

Brush - Semogue / TSN 2018 LE - Finest Badger 2 Band / 25mm
Soap - Long Rifle - Hunting Lodge
Razor - Karve #C
Blade - Gillette 7 O'clock Black
Post - Proraso - Eucalyptus & Menhtol
AS - Pinaud Clubman - Bay Rum

Karve razor - fits my technique, my face and my skin.
One of the better DE razors I have.
Happy Shaving
