Razor - Kai 5 Blade Cartridge v.s. Gillette Heritage DE Safety Razor
Blade - Kai 5 Blade vs. Astra Green (4th use)
Soap - Arko Shave Stick
Brush - Yaqi Moka Synthetic
Post - Tea Tree and Witch Hazel
Balm - Prorasso Green Tea and Oat

Comments: 48 hours of stubble showdown. Kai fared better than the Gillette Fusion for me, wasn't as close but far less tugging. Still the Gillette Heritage with an Astra blade with some shaves on it, won. Arko is slick, produces a great base to shave on, though I've got to pack it away... wife said in the car, what's that smell? Did you use that white thing to shave again? >>> Long story... permanently banned from using it.

SOTD : 14th February 2021.

Shaving Recipe For the day.

Prep: Warm shower:/Asda Tingly Mint & Tea Tree Shower Gel.

Pre:
Cold wet flannel to my face.
Cien ~ PURE Fragrance Free Sensitive Bar Soap + Nuage Menthol shaving Oil.
Brush: Wilkinson Sword Boar.
Face Lather.
Lather: Wilkinson Sword Soap Bowl.
Blade: Wilkinson Sword Classic. (2)
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic.

Post:
Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade (~Winter mix~) peppermint lavender eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Superdrug ~ Sierran Breeze ASL./ Aloe Vera Gel.

Greetings,

All of the Wilkinson Sword products worked well together....My personal method of using with the soap bowl, is to bloom the surface in tepid water for a few minutes, then rub the puck directly in to my stubble like a shave stick, rather than load it into the brush i find it creates a much better lather when face lathering.

A relaxing 3 pass + pick ups Close comfortable Sunday morning shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
