Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (13)

An OK shave. :001_smile

Amazingly, my blade's been feeling a tad duller the last three shaves, and today it demoted my shave to just "OK." I can normally get a full month of great daily shaves from a Personna Red (and sailed through February's OBIF with ease). I think I'll use a new blade next shave, and put the "problem" down to still dialling in my new Wolfman. No need to be hard on myself, eh (as they would say in Canada :001_rolle)?


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:

Beautiful scent and awesome lather! Creamily slick too...truly a quality soap!!
Another effortless silky smooth and comfortable 3pass shave with the razor and nice blade combination. The result was a glass-like BBS without any issues. Excellent aftershave. Terrific shave session! Rating 10/10!!

Thanks to a friend at TSD, I was able to secure a F. Herder 49 15/16. It is one big honkin’ blade. The weight and heft feels very good in hand, and the bone scales are in good shape. This straight razor will definitely be a keeper. Given the size of the blade, it will take some getting used to. The mug shave was my usual three passer. The shave was smooth and clean, but just a touch too harsh for my liking. I’ll refinish it on the Naniwa 12k and jasper stones today until I get the edge the way I like it. The dome shave featured my little reliable Ronson safety razor which easily held up its end. Two ATG passes put the baby to bed and left me clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth.
