Hey all!

Please post your SE setups and any pics in this thread as well if you would be so kind.

Thanks!

<<< SOTD - “SINGLE EDGE RAZOR THEME WEEK” - October 3rd, 2022 to October 9th, 2022 >>>

Hello B&Bers! I hope everyone is enjoying the Fall season (or Spring for those of you on the other side of the globe). This SOTD Weekly Theme is all about Single Edged razors. We had SEptember (Single Edge) on B&B last month and are currently running ACtober (Artist Club), so let’s pull it all...

Tonight’s luxury shave
Gillette Old Type
Permasharp Super (1)
Damp washcloth aka “shave binky”
Simpson Wee Scot 13mm badger brush
Pre-shave: no
Lather: Col Conk Unscented, face-lathered
Aftershave: Ulm Nom
Post-shave: hot shower
Post-shave: Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel cream

Tried two changes tonight. Train’s miles from the rails, now. First, retired the blade that was used twice a year ago and once more last night. Also started steep.

After a few strokes, it was back to shallow angle aided with holding skin tight and it was mostly event-free shave, but a bit time consuming. I’ll come back to this artwork when I get better at shaving.

Another fine shave with the same setup as yesterday.

RR Lupo 95 OC, Gillette-Wilkinson (3)

 

[Invicta]

Fatip Piccolo SE + Voskhod #3.

 

[Clouds]

Gillette Tech OC with a Wizamet Alpha Outlaw Manchurian Clown Puke Soap. This particular razor is branded Minora. Great way to start the week. Happy shaves all.....

 

[Trollky]

Shave 3 of 31 done and it was a good'un. Same setup as yesterday which will probably be the norm for the rest of the week.

 

[JAHE]

Razorock SLOC

The SLOC perhaps is the mildest OC in my rotation, but she never let's me down when I need an easy shave free of irritation. The Titan (fourth outing) was a good match... three passes, DFS+. And: no irritation. Mission completed.

SOTD:
Razor: Vintage 1980s Fatip
Blade: Gillette Platinum (1)
Brush: Omega Evo Ovale
Soap: Barrister & Mann Cheshire
Aftershave: Barrister & Mann Cheshire (Splash)

My shave was quite good using my Vintage 1980s Fatip. It was very close. There is a lot more audio feedback than with mk2 Fatips. Even with mk1 Fatips. It has a thinner head than either. It feels closer to early Gillette razors even though the head is not that thin. Blade feel is not that hard to maintain. There is a lot of it. It is also very smooth. Where the mk2 beats it is in blade rigidity, hence the increased audio feedback with the vintage Fatip. Overall this is a great razor, perhaps my favorite. Barrister and Mann Cheshire soap and splash is fantastic! It's a hidden gem in my soap collection. It's like bathing in Earl Grey tea!

OCtober Monday shave:

Razor(s): RR Gamechanger .84 and SLOC
Blade(s): Brand new Astra Superior Stainless and a BIC Chrome Platinums.
Brush: Zenith Manchurian
Soap: B&M Seville

Gamechanger did most of the work with that new blade and the SLOC gave me some quick cleanup. Great shave.

And partially open exposed top! (The top blade exposure can be intimidating the first few shaves!)

It can be, but it is actually a ***** cat in the GEM line up for me.
