Crown & sword straight
Proraso green pre shave
Stirling dunshire soap, splash and balm

Hmmmm, straight razors
I've been hovering the buy button on lots of new stuff. Soaps, straights.... But I know I shouldn't, so I haven't. Time will tell if resistance was futile...

Timeless Ti .68 SB

well the Nacet did much better on the cutting sharp during the shave feel vs the Astra Stainless and the end post was about the same so will pick another blade tomorrow and keep the comparison going

The CC Cream again best post comfort so far
this combo of the bay rum and lime is nice

did decide to use the CeraVe face wash post to see how that does not sure if it made a difference but is so nice mild did not hurt !
plan on testing it out more though when I get to that point of less changed in my shave (like after the blade and soap comparison)

glad you got that razor and loving it I was so close to getting it but again so much on my plate and do reckon going to start with the Kai (mentioned before my boys name is Kai more the Hawaiian version than the Japanese but they share the same origins in a sense)

so curious what you think now compared to DE ?
I know the honeymoon fun is still in effect
but
Will be a fun thing to do but DE will still be my #1 ?
Its going to become my main shaving tool and DE will be #2 ?
Or both are great and more different than one being better so just having fun with both ?

I know this is personal thought so just curious
till I get one I need to live through someone using these ! Hahahah

I am a couple days late reading this thread.

Getting the Feather DX was one of my best shaving decisions of all time!

I am still on the honeymoon with the razor. It is a new and very enjoyable skill set to learn.
I totally recommend the Artist Club straights over the shavettes that use half DE blades.
From what I've read, the DX model is closer to the experience of using a traditional straight than the Feather SS model. The Kai is in between the two-again from what I've read. It is a perfect choice for me because I am not interested (for now!) in the stropping , honing and maintenance of other straight razors.
For now, it is my primary razor because it is enjoyable and I want to improve the skills of using it.
Just my 2 cents.

Shave #34 on the year. I think four shaves might have been the limit on the PermaSharp. The RazorRock soap is almost done. It's been a good soap but new additions in the past year are much better.

Shave #34

Razor: Schick Type G
Blade: Schick (4)
Brush: Yaqi synthetic
Bowl: Captain’s Choice Copper
Lather: Stirling Baker Street

A smooth DFS shave. I find myself enjoying single edge razors. For the time being anyway. One day I’m sure I’ll become enamored with DEs.

Yeah heard that about the Kai
if I truly love the thing reckon I might try the feather razors also just to know which one and same with blades
ditto big time about the maintenance of a regular straight ! Never say never but at this point NO WAY do I want to do much of anything other than stick a blade in and enjoy the other parts the lather the post to me doing maint on a blade would take that away

fun to hear you are enjoying it so much

One Blade in February Challenge

Razor: Muhle R89 Rosegold
Blade: Personna Med-Prep(3)
Brush: Muhle Kosmo STF
Soap: ZM Explorer

Tonight after a hard week I decided on an Explorer shave lathered with my favourite face lathering brush, the Kosmo. Everything about this combination just screams quality shave, throw in the R89 and Med-Prep and it has to be a great result. Between the slickness of the Explorer and the smoothness of the R89 this was a wonderful experience though to get the BBS I did have to do an extra pass on my neck but it was so enjoyable I didn't mind.

Notes to today’s shave:

Rotated back to my original setting for SWS with the Flatboy and a Tiger on its fourth shave. I paired the razor with the handle from my new Green Cult and I believe they work very nice together.

The star of this shave is without a doubt the first time use of this Areffa soap. This is an amazing soap

. I have never felt anything softer and slicker on my skin. Almost like applying whipped cream. Super glide and cushioning.

More details on today’s shave are in my journal here.

Enjoy your shave today!

Shave 35/365
The Fatboy on Setting seven was the highest setting I've used for a complete multipass haead and face shave. I took it nice and slow. Very happy with the results although a little more alum burn than I'm used to.
