Tuesday 12th December
Savonniere du Moulin Shaving Soap & Razorock 400 Limited Edition
Yaqi Tachi w/Windrose Darwin Handle & Treet Platinum (2)
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla After Shave Lotion
The weight and balance of the head on this alternative handle is absolutely bob-on and permits even a heavy-handed fellow like me to make feather-light glides that have practically no blade feel. I can hear it rasping, which I do like. I am really happy with this purchase and particularly in finding this combo.
Tuesday night is fencing night and I shave after a shower when I get home. Often, I don't get bad shaves ... but they're not great and I have come to ascribe that to my face bein hot and bothered from being in a sweaty mask for the duration of the evening. I've taken to doing just a single with the grain pass and leaving it at that regardless, and that does seem to be working for me. I do like my Wednesday shave when I can clean up after the first pass and get the job done properly, but for Tuesday night shaves ... it's a single pass and with discipline leave it at that.
With this new razor and what I think it probably my most consistent blade which personally I find smooth, tonight's shave feels pretty damn good actually.
