SOTD #110/2021
20-04-2021

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Semogue TSN 2020 Silvertip Badger
Soap: Speick ~ Men Active
Razor: Mühle R89
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (1)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Speick ~ Men Active ASL.

Greetings,
revisiting the Platinum Lux blade from Rapira. I have to admit that I really enjoy these RPL blades. It's one of the few blade brands where even the first shave is super smooth. In terms of sharpness, RPL is an upper mid-range blade that lasts a long time and never feels rough.

After 3 nice passes plus a few touchups, my facial skin felt super smooth.

I wish you all some great shaves!

I really expected to love the timeless 0.95, but I was not impressed for its first outing. Ill give it a few more attempts but it could be joining the to sell pile.

Brush: Semogue Torga-C3 Finest Mistura 22/49
Soap: TFS Mandarino Tachibana
Razor: Henson AL13-M head on Phoenix Aluminum Bomb Tip handle
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (4)
ASL: Iced Orange (home brew)

An excellent shave.

Today I enjoyed the Henson, even with its lack of blade feel! I aim to go at least a few more daily shaves to see if I can improve my technique with it (before venturing into two [or more] day shaves again).

I thought I'd rescue my Mistura for one shave (during my Omega 599 trial). WOW! For sure the Mistura is my all time favorite brush... but I'll go back to trialing my little Omega 599 softy next shave.


Happy shaves guys.
