July 26, 2024 Friday shave

Razor: Karve Overlander, brass
Blade: FlyDear Super Platinum (3)
Soap: Razorock XXX
Brush: AP Shave Co G5A
Bowl: Captains Choice copper
Post shave: Osma alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

I did some hard work here on the Ponderosa before the shave. The three pass shave was close and easy, with no weepers, etc. Every item used today worked well; the RR soap and AP Shave Co. brush were top notch, as usual. The Overlander was a good choice for a relaxing, no drama break from the day's activities. Have a good weekend!

The Morning Shave.


The Gillette Wilkinson Sword was in my 1961 Adjustable FatBoy G1 today.
Refreshing light daily shave, very smooth. I find the Wilkinson Sword blades to be a little mild.
A great blade for anyone new to Safety Razor shaving. Limited chances of any nicks or discomfort.

I went for the Thayers Witch hazel this morning. I haven’t used this for a while.
A nice warm morning the Thayers was refreshing.

Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend.

The last few weeks I've been using the Feather Hi Stainless, which have paired up superbly with all my razors. I've revisited the Gillette Nacet blade for the last remaining days of July to get a comparison with the Feather Hi Stainless.

What I like about the Gillette Nacet blade is the smoothness and efficiency of them. The Feather instantly wins for it's Sharpness, but the Gillette Nacet feels smoother, which is something I prefer in a blade over sharpness.

Another close comfortable efficient combined face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

GILLETTE / ASTRA / OUMO / THAYERS / OXEN by Mokasyn86

A new soap from mokasyn86 from a Polish forum about shaving called Oxen dedicated to one of the forum members. A soap with excellent properties , great lather and very very menthol.
It gives a wonderful feeling of strong cooling and the after shave is even better.
Like putting your head in the freezer .

This is the fourth and final shave with the ATT S-1 and Personna Medical prep blade. I used another badger brush today: the B&B LE 2012 made by Rudy Vey. The brush has a Shavemac knot in it. I like the Keyhole design. Plus, this brush easily loads soap and feels great on my face. The Razor Rock soap was used for the eighth consecutive day. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day and weekend, folks.
