1st shave with Chiseled Face Legacy AL / Perma-Sharp (1)

Since I have Blackbird Ti I didn't use other razor, so my opinion may be under influence.. and probably every next razor will be compared with Bird, it is for me so good and easy to use.

Well, first good points. Very gentile to skin, I think there is absolutely no irritation possible if used correctly. It also cut, but for me not close shave as I like (yes I used very shallow angle as this razor needs). On difficult parts 3 passes are not enough, I did also buffing after and still feels like when shaved with Bird but after 10 hours.. I will try Kai blade tomorrow, maybe it can help little bit.
but to be honest I miss blade feel from Bird, that immediate response and close deep cuts.

Another stellar shave with Lambda Athena!
Every time I shave with her, the same question always comes up. How is it possible, such a smooth, gentle and effective shave at the same time...? A depth comparable only to that of aggressive razors.
For the past two weeks, I've only shaved with the Lambda, which has left my skin feeling as if a razor has never gone through it.

Absolutely 10

Evening shave - 4/30/24
Razor: RazoRock Mentor
Blade: Derby Premium (4/5) (3)
Soap: BSS #1
Brush: Omega 81052 Banded Boar
Aftershave: Clubman Citrus Musk
Rating: 9.25/10, DFS++
This shave ended up decievingly close. I did not think I had a great shave until after a while post shave. I was smoooooth. I did however have a bit tightness and stiffness in my face, but no weepers on my face. Still here 10 hours post shave I am smoooth DFS+. Not sure I want it this close on a regular basis though since it would probably tear up my face. Very nice shave.

Brush: Jequin & Corenveo 24m
Razor: Pearl Flexi
Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (2)
Post shave: Pinaud Clubman
Rating: 10/10

The Flexi is just a stunningly efficient razor, even with the adjuster only dialed up to 2.5 and a great blade like the Perma-Sharp. This morning I tackled two days' stubble and the result was a wonderfully smooth and yet also very close shave.

Rating	10/10
Comments	This is the third shave with the Wolfman WR2 with a Personna Lab blade. The result was a close, smooth, BBS shave with no irritation or other issues. This is the second use of the Haslinger Sandalwood soap. I didn’t detect any scent from the soap although the lather was slick and did a good job. Today I am using a silvertip badger brush that I don’t see being used on B&B: a C.O Bigelow in Super. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks.
