I'm pushing the blade now, but getting some lovely shaves in my slightly more efficient razors. A bit of irritation post shave though, I think it might have been down to the aftershave.

Great set up!
 
Razor = Lambada Athena
Blade = Feather Hi Stainless ( 1 )
Brush = Yaqi Cavern Lake
Gel = Greek Foaming Shave Gel with matching balm.
Splash = Old Spice Champion

First shave back in the promised land.
And not a very good one at that although it was my own fault.
I couldn’t wait to get home to try the Lambada,
First impressions was a superbly made razor with a good heft,
As recommended by many i went with the feather,
However the big mistake was going with this shity gel.
Going through my head i knew i shouldn’t have used it but it was Greek oh and i’m an idiot let’s not forget that part,
I used this once before on holiday & can’t remember it being so shite.
I decided to pop it right on to the brush & away i went,
not the best lather by any means but it was ok,
By the time i took the razor to my face the soap had dissipated to the extent i had to apply more.
At that stage i should have sacked it off & went for something decent but again that’s the idiocy i tent to have on more occasions than i care to think about.
Thre Balm was good though :ROFLMAO:
Having said all that i somehow enjoyed the shave,
i certainly won’t be rushing back for the Gel but i will be rushing back to the Razor so i can give it a proper outing.
To be perfectly honest i shouldn’t have shaved,
i haven’t felt to great over the last couple of weeks.
Two dozes of Antibiotics & still coughing my lungs up,
not good for a non smoker,
But it is on the mend
Stay Safe Boys n Girls & enjoy your week

SOTD: 23/05/2023

Razor: Stando Rod
Blade: Kai Captain Mild Blue, 4th use
Brush: Highlander “Azzuri” Custom Brush Boti 4th Gen Pink 3 Color Synthetic Knot
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: Bart’s Balm Preshave Sample Oil
Soap: Stirling Campania Puck
Balm: Bart's Balm BEN KILBRECK Balm
Fragrance: Stirling Campania Eau de Toilette

I’ve no idea why I keep searching for citrus soaps and scents when I love this so much, citrus and fig make Lee a happy boy! The Rod was a delight as always and the Kai just seems to work so well in it. I need to start buying some more ac blades, I have a cart of these and feather pros but have since discovered a lot of others and need to buy a few!
Anyway the shave was excellent and I need to get some more Stirling soon!
 
Wed 24
Soap Catie's Bubbles Barnegat Bay
Brush DS Cosmetics 26mm Badger
Razor Lakeside Cutlery Chicago
Aftershave Aqua Velva Ice Blue
A superb combination of slick soap, plush brush, and a nice splash!
This has to be my top razor! The edge is soft buttery smooth and yet very keen...amazing! Stroped on the roo leather, had a very pleasurable 3 passes for a dolphin smooth finish...

SOTD 24-May
20230523_171045.jpg
Brush: Highlander M7
Soap: A&E Emerald Moss
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Super Thin (3)
Post: A&E Emerald Moss

Lovely shave this morning, the Highlander whipping up a cracking lather, almost seemed a waste with only two passes. Nice smooth irritation free finish, these super thins have surprised me, I've actually found them to be quite comfortable, or at the very least they seem to tame the slightly more aggressive razor.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

Cross dressing? Then it has to be Blood Stain Child and the best looking trans guitarist on the planet? Better than me anyway......
