Very impressed, though the blade feel

spent last week shaving with a Mamba .70.

Stay healthy, everyone!

Pre: lather up and massage , hot towel to the face
Brush: yaqi 26mm mysterious space tuxedo
Soap: Mudder Focker
Razor; Blackbird SB
Blade: super shave x #2
Post: proraso red ASL

Another brilliant shave granted by blackbird - BBS face and dfs++ on neck in 3 passes. This razor definitely doesn’t fail to perform.

I was going to make today’s shave yet another tabac Thursday, however in corner of shaving den I spotted mudder focker just laying there , which I have acquired a while ago but didn’t use. The only reason why I decided to get it a while back is due to it including the mud. As a diabetic with skin tendencies, I find products that include mud or clay to leave me with much better feel than ones without. This one definitely didn’t fail to perform - nice scent, found it to be quite thirsty, and 25 seconds of load provided enough lather for 4-5 passes. Razor glided effortlessly and blade performed well - feels like it’s a good match for blackbird.

Shave finished off with a splash of proraso red ASL.

Enjoy your day Gentlemen!

A Two-Parter

• Prep: Hot Shower
• Prep: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Cube 2.0 Scentless - Pre-shave
• Brush: The Stray Whisker - 452/24 Synthetic
• Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
• Blade: Derby Usta
• Lather: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Clubguy - Soap
• Post Shave: Alum Block
• Post Shave: Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Pre-Shave Cream

Another one of my two-part shaves. The dome up top, and the face out the front. My smoothest dome shave yet. Still working on keeping the correct angle across all locations, but getting better with each shave.

I think today's razor and blade combination seems to be best for me so far. The Derby Usta so far is the most comfortable blade I have used, I still haven't moved onto an Astra SP or the Feather blades, but I am really enjoying the smooth shaves using the Usta blades.

It looks like I have finally touched the bottom of my PAA soap container. I'm going to have to go shopping for some new shave soap soon. Still unsure what to buy given the somewhat restricted range of soaps here in Australia, but also balancing budget for soaps.
