Back to my soap and cream rotation. Today the Paladin Lotus did a great job in making lather. The Wolfman and Med Prep is turning out to be a wonderful combo. Add the PAA Mysterium Serum to the mix and I had a great shave. Only superlatives today!!

used up my last swirl of soap today, I liked the scent and the performance of this PAA soap and I have a feeling there will be another container headed my way, not in this scent but something “fresh and clean”

Wednesday
Pre-shave: Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser /Tomb 45 Shave Gel
Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: Shea Moisture Black Badger
Soap: L'Occitane Cade
Aftershave: Alum/Thayer’s Cucumber Witch Hazel/Vi-Jon Spice
Balm: Port Products Balancing Daily Moisturizer
 
Flat-Bottom Tech-Prismatic (Feather), Shake Sharp (Treet Plat + Kai). The FBT is more fun with the Prismatic cap but still pretty mild. As an experiment with the Shake Sharp I combined the widest DE blade, the Kai (bottom), with the narrow Treet Plat (top), separating the two edges by that additional differential. Certainly didn't hurt.

Thanks Carbon…but I have to keep moving on.
Today I had to do some catching up on my free samples that have been building up. I’ve never had anything other than great experiences with Henri et Victoria soaps and aftershaves. For those that don’t like their scents too strong, Deuce is a very mild, gently lemony scent. It sounds weird to say this, but the soap felt really, really soft on my face. Combine that with softness of the H&V synth brush and I could have painted my face for hours. This was the very first synthetic brush I ever purchased, and it’s still one of my very favourites and will always be in my regular rotation.

This Seikan Carbon blade was an unknown quantity, but it has given me eight fine shaves. I somehow thought today it might not pass muster, but it gave me another close smooth shave with no extra fiddling around. Eight is a good number so I’m going to retire the Seikan while I’m ahead and so I can move on to some other untried blades.
