First shave with an AC razor, this one is the Razorock hawk v3 with the A plate. Very smooth and efficient.

Brush: Yaki 24mm Mew Brown
Soap: A&E Peaches and Cognac

This blade performed very well, super smooth shave and would highly recommend it. The kaizen base is a very thirsty soap but given enough water is an amazingly slick soap and definitely in the top 3 for me.

Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1)

A very nice shave.

The new blade certainly made a big difference. I'll have to figure out what I've been doing to get so few shaves on the last blade. Currently I have about a hundred thoughts as to what the problem might be, which isn't exactly helpful. Perhaps going on to autopilot might do the trick... it's worked many times before; as in, just shave without thinking about it too much and the solution arrives all by itself.
And of course, being an idle git helps out greatly in that type of scenario.


Happy shaves guys.

Wed 17th SOTD
Soap Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Yaqi AC Aluminum
Blade Feather ProGuard 8th
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + PAA Cavendish
Nice lather from the soap. The scent is lovely & aromatic but just abit below mild and remains consistent throughout the shave. The lather was really slick too...
Shave with fav razor paired with the well-used blade was just too silky smooth and comfortable for 3passes and finally gets a weeper for being greedy...over shaved the adam apple area. In general, mostly bbs but this time can feel are some leftovers. Perhaps it's time-up for the blade?? Will continue for another few shaves to see. The Cavendish AS is absolutely a chart-topper for me...so good, lasting too... Rating 9.5/10

Got a great shave today with the Gamechanger. 84 OC with just a tad of blade feel, noticeably less than with the R89 on Thuesday. BBS in three smooth passes.

Happy shaves, Gents!
