decided to keep this Ti .68 OC around was planning on moving on but I just love it to much and so comfy and great shave with the best audio feedback of all my razors

For sure makes me want to more back and forth with the Wolfman but I think this is why maybe just keep both and try not to decide and enjoy both

do want to try to trade off my other 68 plates and get a 95 to try though

still IMHO one of the best looking razors
nacet was on its 4th and last shave !

I do think the PAA works well but not quite what my SV does and the downside for me not sure if its the hard water or what but leaves that white film on my handles and inside the bowl not a huge deal wipes out easy enough but do not like that hhahahahah the neat freak side of me says NO so its going in the bin of misfits which is growing which for me is OK so I get more narrowed down to the things I love the most

Tiger Week shave#2

Razor: Rockwell 6C R6
Blade: Tiger Platinum(1)
Soap: TFS RasoZero Agrumella
Brush: Semogue 1305

Tonight decided to test the Tiger Platinum with the same setup as last night to test the difference between the platinum and the stainless blades.
The shave was an improvement over last night, I think this blade is smoother than the stainless, there was less irritation though the soap did not appear to perform any better and I had to re-lather for each of my 3 passes. There was little sting from the Kolonya tonight.
Back to the stainless tomorrow night.

Shave #229 of 365 for 2022 Deo Volente.
The vintage blade is going to be hard for me to give up. So smooth. The APShave G5B is a very stiff and dense synth, very different than the normal plush, soft feel of synths. The chill of Stirling was perfect for the start of a super warm Summer day.

DE SOTD, Wednesday, August 17th 2022, #229 of 229 consecutive daily shaves!

Razor : Razorock 2nd Generation Lupo.72- Mfg 2021 1st qtr, excellent mid range, will shave with almost any blade I have very well, well designed from 316 SS, easy to work under the nose area, good also for steep or shallow approach + very enjoyable to use.
Blade : Gillette Polsilver SI(2) sharp and smooth with good longevity. I cork once on a new blade that I have find it smooths it out. Iridium coating is a very hard element to strengthen the blade edge.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer rapier, nice fragrance with some lemon or citrus scent added + excellent lather qualities. Yaqi commissioned Master soap creations S.A. to make their soap line.
Brush : Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrub + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : witch hazel cleanse of beard +Musketeer rapier AS + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my RR Lupo.72 with a Polsilver SI blade.

Have some great shaves!

Shark Week shave#3

Razor: Rockwell 6C R6
Blade: Tiger Superior Stainless(2)
Soap: RR Emperor
Brush: Simpsons Trafalgar T3

Tonight for the second shave with the Tiger SS I upgraded the soap to RR Emperor. I kept the Rockwell as it usually gives great shaves and seems to work with the two tiger blades.
The shave was much better than the first one with this blade, there was no irritation and although I didn't quite end up with a BBS it was still a great shave. The problem was obviously the Agrumella soap which just wasn't slick enough.
Tomorrow the Tiger Platinum will get the same treatment.

Wednesday 17th August, shave #229

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Nacet Stainless #9
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave.

Gave myself Wednesday off from 3017ing MWF, for a midweek SV treat. Took my time, and got a good near-BBS.

SV is the best soap I've tried so far. Is there anything that beats it for performance and non-irritation?

Shave #230 on the year. Amazing Summer day started with a very enjoyable shave with this combination of kit. Ethos is a very good soap. I wish the Canadian reseller would restock. But I'm on a soap buying sabbatical so it's good for me.

Permasharp 2nd use

Ethos still figuring out the ratios
hmmmmmmm had a better shave yesterday ?
