So back to the OCs we go and this particular one is a Gillette New LC replated by Chris Spencer at Back Roads Gold. Lovely razor and whether you grab a SC or LC everyone should have one in their OC collection. Wilkinson Sword (German) was the blade of choice and always does a great job regardless of razor it gets thrown into.

Soap of the day was RazoRock Black Bay whose praises I have sung before and no change today. Love the scent of this green beauty. Chubby 1 had no issues today as usual and a mighty face lather was enjoyed all around.

Lovely two pass shave with a little buffing and a super close almost BBS shave achieved. Topped it off with some Bvlgari Man and perfection achieved. Lovely sunny day and much to be done but made that much better with this shave. Take care all and safe travels!

Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: Eufros Gea
Razor: Viking Blades Emperor
Blade: Feather (#2)
Post: Cold water, Alum, witch hazle, Nivea sensitive
Passes: 2 - WTG (3.5), XTG (3.5)
Rating: 4.8/5 - Excellent

First use of Eufros’ Gea, love it. Post shave not as good as his tallow range but it is pretty good.
I’ve really enjoyed its scent Angie nice and slick the soap was. The combo Semogue and Eufros made a huge amount of lather and a beautiful cushion for the shave. Brilliant.

Cool SOTE.
Stirling's Frost Drops were a nice addition to go with my favorite base of theirs. I was a little taken aback though how much I seemed to have to add to my lather to feel it, though.

Nivea Men ~ Sensitive Cooling Post Shave Balm.


Greetings,

Last use of the bolzano superinox which has performed superbly throughout the week, the longevity of these blades are amazingly good, i know i could easily get another 3-4 shaves from this blade,but if i can get three to four shaves from one blade, then i'm happy with that, besides i've a vast amount of DE blades to get through. A really smooth sharp forgiving blade which i highly recommend.

It's been a while since i last used the Parker 94R which maybe the smallest in size of all my parker DE razors, but a sturdy hefty efficient indian princess that hold's no prisoners to face or head stubble, i was BBS after the 3rd pass but carried on with the pick up pass just for the sheer pleasure of the shave, and to use up the excellent superlather.

Out of all the Uber/Superlather i've created this one is the best to date, the scottish fine shaving soap, is becoming one of my favourite soaps...the slickness & post shave feel is amazing + the addition of the small amount of TRSC sensitive shave cream mixed up a fantastic lather making my shave another pleasurable experience.

A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups bbs smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Sensitive Cooling Post Shave Balm.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
