JAWS .84
Fresh Super Platinum
Oceana soap and balm
Atlantis brush
Blood in the water! Staying with relatives. They have soft water and that always adds some extra sickness. Got over confident and nicked my neck. Steptic sealed it off before the Shark knew it was there! Overall, the plat provided a good smooth shave.

Shark Week Shave 3
Shark SS, CVS TTO, Arko
Two passes and no drama. I guess I should be getting scared because it is day 3 and I have not been bit yet. We all know the farther you get from land the worse the bite will be.

Shark Week - Shave 2
'71 Gillette Tech
Shark SS (2)
Lee's Safety badger
Moon Soaps Havana Soap and AS Balm
I normally don't shave everyday, but yesterday's shave was so poor that I decided to head back into the waters today. This is definitely not the sharpest nor the smoothest blade. It takes pressure to get it to cut anything. But three passes with some touch-ups made for a DFS with some minor irritation. Still no blood. But, this Tech is so mild, it's probably countering the shark's teeth!
I'll put the blade in the Carbon razor on Thursday and see if there's any bite there.

It looks like that Parker razor has the same head as my Gillette Heritage.
Ivan, you're right. There will be differences for products across Europe for things like chocolate.
As for this Lidl splashes, there was a thread about the Lidl splashes here and it had the American and European versions, and there are pictures for and the ingredients list for both looks about the same, but whether they smell and perform the same is something I do not know.

It might look to you the same from that angle, but they are quite different. The gap on the Parkers is huge. Adds aggression. Bottom plate has a very different profile. Nothing common between both razors.
Returning to the deeps:
JAWS .84 with
SS
B&M Cool Soap and Balm
Got confident and saw a dot of red in a normally easy area ATG. It’s like the sharks snuck into the kiddie pool. End results was super smooth. I’ll be stuck on the sand tomorrow but be back in the water Thursday.

Shark Week
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE86
Blade: Shark Super Stainless (2)
Brush: Rocky Mountain Barber Co - Best Badger 25mm
Pre-Shave: Face Wash and Scrub
Lather: Proraso - Green
Aftershave: Prada - L’Homme (balm)
Shave Rating: 10/10
Exact re-enactment of my first wet shave
Everything from blade to mug is exactly as it was on my first wet shave after I switched from a Mach 3 cartridge razor.
I must admit that although my first wasn’t too bad, this revisitation was much better. On my first shave I was ready to abandon DE shaving because it was so pitifully ineffective on my whiskers. Then I realized I had the base plate of the razor on backwards. It went much better after that.
Todays shave was pleasant and efficient without the razor burn I encountered on my first trial. I forgot how scritchy this first Amazon badger brush was.
The Shark was my first ever DE blade and I’ve always held a place for it in my heart.

Thanks, but no thanks. I am not buying anything aftershave from Lidl anymore. Their balm sucks too. Nivea is so much better. You know why you pay a couple of euros more. Life's too short to use subpar skin products.
Loaded up a super stainless in my trusty old 70s Tech and got an absolutely wonderful shave.
So far this week I've tried all 3 Shark variants, and only drew blood with the Platinum so far.
1920s Wade and Butcher old type dupe - Super Chrome = Wonderful shave
Gillette NEW LC - Platinum = 4 weepers + wicked aftershave burn
'79 UK Gillette Tech - Super Stainless = Wonderful shave
All 3 blades now have 1 use and will be rotating them between the 3 razors throughout the rest of the week.

Whaaaat!!!
How did you modify the blade? Assuming it will also work with an old Gem 1912? Would love to join you with a shark single edge shave.
In the middle of testing a blade and forgot it was shark week! I had two final shaves with a Parker Premium Platinum this week, but I've done some digging and it turns out the score for Jaws 3-D was composed and conducted by Alan Parker, so at least I am shaving to a shark theme 
! I'll be shaving with one of the three Sharks tomorrow for the rest of the week and a couple of days next week to make up for the oversight!
