Love your posts David. Can I ask, where did you get your Mondial brush? I have not been able to find any for sale in the U.S.
Thank you, sir. I couldn't locate a US seller, either. I ordered from a vendor in Australia, I believe it was from their ebay store site.

Comment: Happy with today's shave. 2 passes with a small touch up for a CCS. Took it real easy today as the feather popular yesterday gave me a lot of irritation. I like the progress a fair bit... would be better if they had open channels under the base plate to make it easier to clean and for less rinsing.

Very nice lather from the soap. Mild scent but super slick. Really love all of Colonel Conk's Soaps.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was excellent!! Awesomely smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a BBS result!
Excellent aftershaves too! Rating 9.5 because somehow 2 creepers were seen much later...bummer!

Razor: Baili ~ BD177 Rose Gold TTO.

Greetings,

(Chinese Razor Week.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend.. Starting the weekend off with the Baili BD177 which is an incredibly good razor, each and every shave that i have had with this super-speed clone has been consistently good...Maiden shave with the Derby Usta which i purchased last year along with some Supershave X blades..

For all intentional purposes i was going to use a 'Derby Premium' blade, but changed my mind at the last minute and used the 'Usta' instead due to forgetting i had yet to try them out...Another great match for the BD177 making a smooth efficient duo.

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable /near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face & feeling smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.😎
