GEM Junior w/Baton Handle / GEM PTFE / AoS Sandalwood pre-soap-balm -- 3 pass BBS shave. I really need to narrow it down or stop using the AoS products. I like the pre-shave and soap scent, the performance is good, but lately once I use the balm it seems to sting and burn (it also leaves my skin feeling sticky vs moisturized) and after a while my skin will be red/blotchy, etc., and if there are any little nicks or weepers, the balm opens them up and they'll start bleeding. I need to narrow it down to either the pre/soap or the balm or stop using--my guess is the balm, which I can live without.

Razorock Hulk Green Eco w/Crown blade (3)

 

[Fen]

Razor: Broman
Blade: Shark super stainless
Brush: Proraso pro boar brush
Soap: Cella
Aftershave: Proraso green pre-shave cream and Depot no. 408 moisturizing after shave balm, fresh black pepper

Was rather surprised that the shave started to feel a bit rough halfway through. Considering that I've had great luck using the shark before. Either a bad blade or I messed up when I broke it in half and the paper touched the edge. Unsure about my feelings for the Depot 408 after shave balm. Has little scent and smells more like neutral soap or something.

Yesterday was a small cluster f… ending up with a nasty cut in my neck.

but the occam Oren with a Kai proguard was saving the day
Should have replaced the : dot for a two dot to be completely safe. But for a small atg nick on the same side of the neck it was a near bbs shave so happy to be able to serve my clients today in a decent fashion

The Kai CT Protouch MG is an excellent blade but bit pricey.Allows one to work away clearing harsh/stubborn growth with little chance of mishap, and no post shave problems.

Lol my only problem that shave experience wise I prefer a snmirn with a wizamet easily over the occam.

Though internally not quite as well finished as The Raster, the Shave was super smooth and I had no problems get an ultra close all round finish.

Springtime Saturday...
GEM Micromatic Flying Wing (Bullet Tip) loaded with a GEM PTFE blade. My Yaqi Gigantic Moka 2 band loaded with Haslinger Ringelblumen made a fabulous lather. Finished with Ramblin’ Man to start the day off right.
