Only comment that I can only get 3 shaves out of the Palmeras, my hard beard needs blades that cut more, for soft beards they will be perfect.

Solo comentar que a las Palmeras sólo le puedo sacar 3 afeitados, mi barba dura necesita hojas que corten más, para barbas blandas serán perfectas.

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Razor: GOODFELLAS IMPERO Closed Comb mango Ikon Bulldog 90 mm.

Blade: PALMERA Super Inoxidable

Brush: SEMOGUE Barbear Classico sintética 2017 LE 70/100 en 24mm

Pre-Shave: Agua caliente

Lather: MIDNIGHT & TWO THE CABIN

Aftershave: CLUBMAN Pinaud

 

[Cal]

Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget
Soap: Rasozero Barbacco
Razor: Timeless SSSlim OC on custom olive wood handle
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (8)
ASL: Proraso Red

Another great shave.

Comment for the OBIF rookies:
I suspect that careful honing on the whiskers each shave, followed by a gentle towel strop (after washing and drying the razor and flipping the blade, then reassembling it) is either sharpening the blade or keeping it at optimal sharpness.


Happy shaves guys.

Floored by how comfortable, smooth and close the shaves are from the weightier new deluxe razors like this one.

Monday shave

Prep: The Body Shop sugar scrub
Soap: CBL Pineapple Cilantro Banana
Brush: Shavemac Finest badger
Razor: iKon X3 slant on bulldog handle, #13
Blade: Feather, #2 and binned
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid-> Skin Bracer aftershave -> The Cool Fix

Two-passes, CCS on cheeks, but as for my neck, significant feedback from the alum and a necessary application of The Cool Fix pretty much says it all. Ouch. The dropoff in performance of the Feather compared to last night is astounding. On the good side, the soap smells fantastic, though the performance was average (that may have been my fault--not sure I had it completely dialed in).
