Aftershave: Clubman Jeris Osage Rub
Rating: 9.75/10, DFS++
What a pleasant end to a great tuck of blades! These blades have performed in all the razors that I have thrown at them and this last shave was no exception. Super smooth and comfortable and very close. No issues.

Evening shave - 5/12/24
Razor: KCG
Blade: Ladas Stainless Steel (1/5) (1)
Soap: BSS #1
Brush: RazoRock Pilssoft RR400
Aftershave: Clubman Citrus Musk
Rating: 9.25/10, DFS+
New blade to me in the Ladas Super Stainless. I decided to start safe and use a mild razor. The KCG performed just like it should and I have a very nice irritation free shave. The blade is certainly sharp and it resulted in a pleasant shave.

I’m taking myself out.

I had an order in with Chris at Karve from March for a G-Tech handle and decided to cancel the order. However, I requested him to swap it out for a green aluminum Overlander stand. So I think in my head that disqualifies me for this month’s GRUME. I will be back in force in June.

Stay strong men and have a blessed day.

50th Birthday shave this morning. Used one of the gift soaps from Tracey along with my birthyear Superspeed.
The soap is MacDuff's usual excellently slick lather and the scent is fantastic! Light and lively citrus and peach...awesome.
The razor is a deceptively efficient shaver, no blade feel at all but I managed DFS+ and a couple weepers.

I started the new week with a lovely smooth DFS+ shave. The Nacet is a great blade in the Yaqi Ghost .90 SS. Mild feedback from the AS.

No complaints with today's setup whatsoever.

Make the new week a great one
Cheers!

SOTD - “New Gear" Theme Week - May 13-19, 2024

May 2024 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

MdC Monday


Hello friends

Beautiful start to the week, here. Following this week's SOTD theme, I debuted a soap that I bought last month, but only arrived today: MdC Agrumes. Wonderful, like all the other Martin de Candre I've tried. With it, came a complimentary blade that I also used for the first time: Gillette 7 o’clock SharpEdge (1). Despite being a Gillette from PPI, I didn't find it to be at the same level as GSB, Nacet or Perma-Sharp. Maybe I'll reconsider my opinion on a second try.

Greencult 2.0 for its exposure is the razor I always use to evaluate a new blade. And SOC Mistura, the brush with which I judge a new soap.

Pinaud Citrus Musk finished the shave.

With us, Lee Morgan's brilliant trumpet.


Rating: 9,5


Have a nice week and great shaves!
