Greetings,
Face & Head shave.
A new shave set up to start the weekend....After the fantastic shaves i had with the Schick Type G Injector in my previous weeks shaves i was curious to try a shave with this delightful vintage razor...I shall be trying out both the Gem Featherweight & the Pella PTFE SS Gem blade with all my Shave's throughout the week to adjust and familiarize myself with the razor.
Head shave: The Personna PTFE SS still felt smooth and efficient on it's 5th outing with no indication of dulling.. My initial thoughts was i would struggle when shaving the back of my head with the natural angle of the Schick which is different to a DE razor angle but yet again i had no reason to doubt myself as after the atg pass i found my shaving angle and felt comfortable to carry on...After my combined xtg/atg + pick up pass my head felt silky smooth with no feeling of irritation or any signs of blood running down my precious swede....The longevity of the Personna PTFE SS has really impressed me with it's performance feeling very smooth comfortable, and efficient with each shave.
Face Shave: As i'm familiar and have had some experience with using my Ever-Ready i was excited to see how the Featherweight would perform with the Ted Pella blade which i've never tried before...The verdict?....From my first stroke with the Featherweight i felt a noticeable difference in blade feel with the Ted Pella PTFE blade which feels more efficient but with the same smoothness as the Personna PTFE SE blade...The razor's appearance and condition is immaculate. I felt comfortable with the Feather weight after a few strokes finding my shaving angle. My only initial doubt with the Featherweight was i thought the lightness of the razor would possibly have made the razor feel unbalanced, but i was completely wrong in my assumption as the razor is easy to hold the shaving angle manoeuvrable, and well balanced considering it's a lot lighter than my Gem micromatic OC, and E-R's SE razors...The weight doesn't hinder the shaving performance in any way....It's all down to good technique & shaving confidence.
Like all my other SE vintage razors i love the audio feedback and feel of the Featherweight doing its work which is very satisfying and more importantly telling me that i'm using the correct shaving angle.
A enjoyable close comfortable, smooth near BBS face and head shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd The Man Silver EdT to the chest & pulse points.
My face & precious swede are feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

| Comments | I decided to go with the RR Stealth Slant and Wizamet blade for a second shave. This is one nice combo. Today’s brush is the Zenith Manchurian. The Zenith is an incredible value. It has become one of my favorite brushes. The lather and razor-blade combo made for a perfect BBS shave. Have a good day, folks. |

Both gave great shaves.
I prefer the heavier razors. So the the Ti was the most comfortable during the shave. Final result was equal... It all comes down to preferences with these two...

DE SOTD, Sat, Feb 5th 2022, New razor testing + 1st shave!
Razor: Yaqi V3 TFC adjustable with Gun metal handle- Mfg 2021> excellent adjustable razor, 1st shave, I read a little on line about this razor and concluded it would be great around 1-3 setting for myself and folks where correct. Started out around 2 and then 1 and pickups 3 and it was mostly a carefree shave for myself. I like the 1 & 2 range mostly and felt it was a nice sweet spot for my self not aggressive but efficient and my 1 day stubble did not stand a chance.
My razor felt equal on both sides when turned 180 degrees and that was great feeling because that was a good test for any razor that the machining is accurate enough .
Grip of razor was adequate with medium knurling, adjustment on top worked well and there are a lot in-between settings.
After all said & done with my 1st shave I pulled out the Alum block that does not lie and did my sweep of the face and indicated really not much of anything for stinging!
The razor finish on the out side is very good and under the cap looked reasonable but not perfect, might be a bargain for some folks who always wanted a Gibbs style razor that takes regular DE blades like myself!
So my shave also hit my sweet spot for final results after 2 passes with pickups of DFS,BBS (DFS++) shave
.
Yes, I could of gotten a much closer shave on 4>6> settings no doubt but that is not always my goal , and not always a comfortable shave on higher settings as most already know with adjustable razors.
Blade: Gillette Nacet(4) excellent sharp & smooth blade.
Soap : Speick stick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Robin 24mm boar bristle, excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, great scrub + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Alum block with rinse after 30-60 seconds + Razorock King Louis Lavender Aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing cream + scentless.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =
excellent shave with my Yaqi TFC adj with a Gillette Nacet blade.
Have some great shaves!
