JAWS .84
SSPlat (3)
Oceana soap and balm
Atlantis brush

Another great shave with the Platinum. 2 full passes. One tiny red dot that rinsed away. Getting better with the Oceana soap but when I get back home I will try my boar brush and see if it is any better.

Sharko #5

Razor - Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade - Shark Super Stainless (5)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Omega Wild Hog
AS - Akcay Tobacco

The blade's past it best, a few spots where there's a bit of growth left after 2 passes but the blade's smooth enough and I've got no post shave irritation so I will keep using this blade for the rest of Shark week.

Another round with Platinum - another failure
Tried to do a headshave on a 2 days stubble with a Tech. They would only cut with more pressure than I like to use and were still tuggy. After struggling through half a side I switched to an Astra Blue and had a fine shave as usual…

Another Shark Week shave! I don't think there will be much blood in the water with the results I've been getting with it...and I'm actually surprised by it. Thanks, Shark Week fans!

Shark Platinum (2)

 

[ouchyfoot]

Razor: STAR - Gold Tone DE 1946-1959 (Hex Handle)
Blade: Shark Platinum (1st)
Brush: Dscosmetic - Carrot Handle Synthetic(26mm)
Pre-Shave: Innisfree - Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam
Lather: Zingari Man - The Duo (BBS Live)
Aftershave: Zingari Man - The Duo (BBS Live)

Here Shark…sit, fetch, heel…play dead.
Today I switched from Shark SS to Shark Platinum. Much the same in my opinion. Both blades needed to work a little extra on the tough chin stubble. This was with either the EJ or the Star DE. Not so much of a problem with the Superspeeds or Rockwell 6S.
I somehow formed a prejudice against the Zingari “The Duo” when I first got it and don’t know why. Good coverage and excellent slickness. The scent is very soft and unassuming.
Nice smooth shave with a good post shave feel.

ShArko Shave (V)

CVS TTO, and a Shark SS(4) and still no blood but I did feel the big fellow bump me twice. He/she even seemed to try grabbing those two spots on my face but could not hold on long enough to draw blood.

The blade is getting duller and it is just a matter of time. Hopefully we will get through the week unbloodied.

Shark Week shave number 4. Much better today. Shave number 2 on the Shark Super Stainless. I only opened up one of the past days weepers, and the shave was much more satisfactory then the previous attempts. I still have to be very wary at the bottom of the neck line. Hopefully I can get this blade to get me to Sunday And the end of another Shark Week.

Could it be you changed the cream and that led to improvement?

Yesterdays shave was my first ever shave with a Shark blade and the my FaTip the Super Chrome performed pretty well! For me it felt like a smooth blade that while not the sharpest is sharp enough for a close shave in this razor. No blood in the water today!

Shark Week Shave #5

Wolfman WR1 razor
Shark SS (day 5 and time to change)
Shavemac Beagle 2-band fan brush
MWF soap
Swiss Pitralon splash

No blood (barely, as the blade is getting dull). Dorsal fins were circling!!

Shark Week - 3rd shave

Pre: Cube mentholated soap
Bowl: Muhle black ceramic
Brush: Semogue 1438 boar
Cream: Arko lavender sensitive
Razor: Gillette Rocket HD500
Blade: Shark SS (3)
Post: cold water, Thayer's unscented witch hazel, Skin Bracer a/s splash & Arko lavender sensitive balm

Verdict: comfortable stress free shave, no tugging or cuts. The shark blade is still performing well. No sharks biting today!
I must say the rocket razor and shark blade make a nice combination

 

[South Dakota Guy]

Congratulations on your Wolfman! That’s an awful lot of teeth for one shave.

Thanks! Judging by just one shave the Wolfman WR2 1.15 feels gentler and more efficient than the Timeless .68. I wouldn’t have believed it without trying it myself.

Shark Week - Shave #3 & #4 - Shark Super Stainless; Shave #5 - Shark Chrome

Equipment: Merkur 20C, Shark Super Stainless (3 & 4), PdP Bergamot (3) and Tabac (4), GrayDog GreyWolf Brush
The Shave: Both shaves were nice, except for the end of Shave #4, blade began feeling draggy and dull, still managed to get a DFS shave.

Equipment: Merkur 20C, Shark Chrome (1), Wilkinson Shave Stick, GrayDog GreyWolf Brush
The Shave: Shark Chromes have torn up my face in the past and Shark Chromes are all I have left for Shark blades. I nervously loaded one into my razor...and...had a very nice, smooth shave with it.

It seems to me like I have read more than 10 times the words "not the sharpest", "not sharp" etc. regarding Shark Super Chrome.

Hard to tell after just one shave, but to me it feels like it's sharper than an Astra SP but not as sharp as the 7 O'Clock Yellow or similar blades. YMMV as always with blades though!

In my experience the Astra SP is sharper than the SC. Yes, they are borderline dull. Don't work for me even in medium aggressive razors.
