Day 10 and holding firm. Shave on home ground today, which was a delight, even if the mercury dropped below zero this morning! Have great shaves, brothers!

One pass shave tonight. Been noticing some irritation, I suspect from my trying out a new razor and a different blade. Even a light shave is pleasurable. 7/10

Summary. Fun to mix up the Athena and Fatip razors, but on their own they are both much more effective.

Enjoy your shave!

Still in - DFS+ with a bit of work. The Yintal might be a bit too mild for the Usta blade.
The Furbo Vintage Blue is a menthol beast, strong cooling and my eyes are still feeling it 10 minutes after application. I will put this one away until summer proper arrives.

Morning shave - 5/10/24
Razor: Swing SB
Blade: Derby Premium (5/5) (5)
Soap: BSS #1
Brush: RazoRock Pilssoft RR400
Aftershave: Clubman Lustray Blue Spice
Rating: 9.25/10, DFS++
A solid shave from a solid razor and blade. I have come to expect that out of this group. Just a couple of short stubbled areas that prevented me to give it a BBS rating, but it is very good. I did have a tiny bit of post shave tenderness so I could not give it full score on comfort. Still a super nice shave.

It took me quite a while, but now the tub has been finished. But since it's one of my favourites there's more... 
Have a nice day, Gents!
