Today I used my RR Stealth Aluminum Slant razor that was loaded with a Wizamet Super Iridium blade for the third shave. I really like this razor and blade combination. The soap is Haslinger Coconut, tallow formula. The brush is an Omega 81052 boar. I did my usual four-pass shave on my face and two-pass on my head. The aftershave was Thayers Rose Petal WH and L’Occitane ASB. The fragrance was Yves Saint Laurent.

Sunday, 6/14:

Razor - Global Shave Club Espresso
Blade - Dorco Stainless
Brush - Semogue Owners Club 24mm boar
Soap - WSP Formula T Gaelic Tweed
A/S - Brickell unscented balm

Wow, color me impressed. I picked up a few WSP soaps because they were really cheap as dented tins, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, I am blown away, because they are EXCELLENT. I very easily generated a shiny, creamy/gooey, silky soft lather with the SOC. The scent is freaking awesome; I'm assuming this is another take on Creed's Green Irish Tweed, in which case I might have to invest in some. Primary and residual slickness and cushion were terrific.

The GSC razor with the Dorco was quite smooth, especially with the super-slick lather. The usable angle is much more towards the cap than a 34C, but once I found it, smooth sailing. Gives a great, close shave. I look forward to using both soap and razor more. This was a supremely pleasant shave.

Ikon 103 Short Comb, Tatara handle/Kai (2). Very close but not very comfortable, the Ikon design requires you ride the cap more than you should given the geometry to avoid the same too pointy teeth you find on the Ikon Deluxe . It's a very unfortunate flaw because it's a nice shaver otherwise. The Tatara handle offers good balance with the aluminum composite head.

Well, Tim, my shave today was excellent, and I will admit that it must be the blade. I am fast becoming a Valet Auto Strop booster! I now own three of them. Two proprietary - they can only use Feather FHS and FAS blades or Valet Original (VB2, VC4), and one non proprietary (VC1). This was my second shave with the VC1.

In my first shave I used a modified Gem blade, but this shave featured a Feather FHS-10 blade. The shaves were identical with the exception of the blade used. Now don’t misunderstand what I’m about to say. I love Gem razors. I own several and get great shaves from them. It’s just that in this case the Feather blade outperformed yesterday’s modified Gem.

The Gem wasn’t faulty. It was only the 4th shave on that blade, and I routinely get 7 - 10. It was a new Feather blade, as I rarely get more than 4 shaves from this type blade. In any case today’s shave like yesterday’s was a one and 1/2 pass (WTG, ATG) BBS, but it moved into the velveteen (VBBS) arena on the dome. Now in fairness a fresh Gem might perform equivalently, but I’m going to quit while I’m ahead. I feel cool, clean, velveteen smooth and refreshed.

RAZOR: Valet Auto Strop Model VC1
BLADE: Feather FHS-10
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: Kent Infinity Synthetic
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature enhanced w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb.
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Nancy Boy Signature Scent Cooling After-Shave Gel.

This Sego base just moved up to top 2 for me, right behind Milksteak. Thinner lather, but slick as anything. Sabre glided thru with ease. Great shave.

10/10
