Never seen that blade, how is it?

Triton R3 - Stainless
These are NOS blades from Germany. They were made by the same company that produces Cromas. Been over a year since I last used one and find them better than Merkur blades, but overall Russian blades are a lot better. First couple of shaves are sharp but not smooth then falls dramatically from there or at least for my particular face and neck whiskers and facial structure.

Good shave today.

Shaving recipe for today.


Prep: Hot shower:/ L'OREAL ~ Mountain Water Shower Gel.


Pre:

cold wet flannel to my face.

Pears ~ Transparent Lemon Flower Soap./ bloom water

Brush: Semogue 1305.

Face Lather.

Soap : Phoenix & Beau ~ Star Noir.

Blade: Personna ~ Gem PTFE coated.(3)

Razor: Ever Ready ~ 1912. (UK)

Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade menthol crystals +Eucalyptus peppermint,+ Tea Tree Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./ Brut ~ Splash-On Lotion.


Wilko ~ Men's Moisturiser.

Greetings,


Up with the larks this morning..

I haven't used my semogue 1305 brush for a while,and forgot how good this brush performs, after a 5 minute soak in cold water,a few shakes to remove the excess water it then loaded up a adequate amount of soap from the tub in no time. I was rewarded with a excellent,slick protective lather, adding water to the tips of the brush inbetween each pass, without going back to the tub to load again. Superb soap.


After my introduction of the ever-ready 1912(USA) i was intrigued to see how the (UK) version performed.

Out of the blue a mate of mine was at a car boot sale one weekend last year & came across a 1912 (UK) in it's case & a 1924 (Shovel head), both of these vintage ladies were in pretty reasonable condition and on offer for the grand total of £.8.00 he haggled with seller to £6.50pence because the 1924 didn't have a case...'If you don't ask, you don't get'..'A absolute bargain',two vintage SE razors for £3.25p each!

After a good sprucing up with a tooth brush & anti bacterial soap,rinsed & a good gentle polish these ladies where ready for service again.

The 1912(UK) version, like it's US cousin is a joy to shave with, the only difference, was i found the UK version slightly more assertive, but equally smooth and comfortable to shave with.

Another. wonderfully smooth 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Wilko ~ Men's Moisturiser.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.

SOTD:
Todays shave was with a razor i have neglected for far too long, in fact i havent used it since December. My very first DE razor, the Lion DE. Although I'll absolutely agree that their blades are not the best, their razors can give you a perfect BBS shave. Ill be posting a review on this razor soon as the last time i used it was before i joined shave forums, but here was the setup for today's shave.

Razor: lion DE
Blade: feather hi-stainless (23)
Soap: bundubeard coffee
Brush: dischem synthetic
Aftershave: status for men
