Shave of the Day_27-01-2025

10/10 BBS

Razor - Groomixx - Sage Green Ceramic Coated solid Brass Handle with Zamac Closed Comb head - 84 grams (3 oz)
Blade - Wilkinson Sword
Brush - Unbleached Badger
Bowl - Seventies Glass Ashtray
Soap - Shik Birch Tar
Cologne - Ard Al Zaafaran - Dirham Oud Gold
Attar - Vintage Qadeem Cambodian Oud

This razor is identical in shape to my Sage Green Youngmans Oxford 1932 C/C Limited Edition but but isn't stainless and is less than a third of the price!

It is a good weight with good grip and balance but you have to concentrate because it has positive blade exposure making it a well over average efficiency scraper ; I'd say at least 8/10 for performance and comfortable as long as the blade is sharp and angles and pressure are totally consistent throughout - definitely not for beginners although the blurb sais it's for sensitive skin.

So an easy BBS in two passes with no buffing required and a solid 10/10 but not for an auto-pilot shave with your eyes closed !
