• ⁠Lather: Arko
• ⁠Post Shave: Island Man AS, Thayers Rose and Hyaluronic Acid

Nice shave today! I absolutely hate the Arco scent in the tub but once lathered it isn't bad. I do love the later though.

I am still only getting 2-3 shaves out of a Feather no matter which razor I use, so once I finish my remaining 25 or so, I won’t be restocking them. Plus I have so many other good blades in my ever growing stockpile.

Razor - Gillette Super Speed
Blade - Sharks Super Stainless
Brush - Maggards 24 mm Synthetic
Shave Soap - Noble Otter + APR Texaus
Post Shave - Thayers
Aftershave - Noble Otter Noir Et Vanille

Today's shave = 9/10 I always forget how much I love shaving with my Gillette super speed. I tried out Sharks Super stainless steel blades today, and wow did I like them. I'll have to try them out for a few more shaves before making a final decision. But I'm likely to incorporate them into my shaving rotation going forward.

Pre-Shave: OPR brushless shave soap Bay Rum scent
Soap: Moon Soaps Amaretto Speciale
Brush: Je&Co Night Sky Tuxedo synthetic
Razor: Feather SS AC shavette
Blade: Feather AC Professional (4)
Post-Shave: Cold water splash - Thayers Witch Hazel - Lucky Tiger Face Tonic
AS: Black Ship Grooming Davy Jones

First bloodless shave with the shavette. A DFS, but still need to refine technique to hope for a BBS with the shavette. All that having been said...no blood. A first! A little stubble feel around the sides of the adams apple, but I was, believe it or not, rushed this morning. Bad morning to choose the Feather AC, but I did it against all logic. Paired the bourbon and vanilla splash with the Amaretto soap. At least, that seemed logical. Live long and proper, everyone.

Happy shaves!

Pleasant cream. With the nice brush and bowl combine, lather was nice.
Shave with razor paired with blade was really sharp and smooth. Very comfortable too for 3+1passes. Unexpected weeper but BBS result.
Excellent post & aftershave.

Some weepers on the 3rd pass, but experimented with a wet lather this morning. Decent shave, but the blade was showing its age.

This blade feels like this is the razor is it's match. If used properly it will shave ya like a dream, if ya get lazy with pressure or angle it will bite ya.

I have a BBS shave and couldn't be happier.
