SOTD 22 - 28 April, 2013

[eljaydub]

Exploration of the UKDC/GDC day seven, it's been a great week and I'm finishing up with an almost fully UKDC shave!

Todays item:

Perma Sharp Super DE Blades

Kent Luxury Soap (aka MWF)(from UKDC)
Alum
Real Shaving Company Post Shave Balm(from UKDC)
Tom Tailor Speedlife AS
Perma Sharp Super DE Blades (from UKDC)
Muhle R89

Today's new item was one of the Scottish made Perma Sharp blades Micheal sent along. What a great blade! I can see why they are his current favourite; they are sharp and smooth, even after 40 years! This was also my first time using a 'vintage' blade, I was quite pleased with it and even felt the pang of nostalgia as when I saw the 'Made in Gr. Britain' stamp and lamented that this blade was no longer in production (correct me if I'm wrong?). They gave me a nice BBS shave in 3 passes with no tugging, no cuts and no irritation. I rounded the UKDC finale off with the Kent and RSC Balm which pair perfectly with the Tom Tailor Speedlife AS and will now certainly be regulars in my rotation. I also get to look forward to several more shaves with this Perma Sharp
Thanks again Micheal!

The BRW knob on the Progress I used this morning added length and extra weight to this little Progress 500 making it a formitable tool in the whisker whacking business! I am very happy with the performance of all the players in this morning's shave saga.
