Haha, we are contributing a large chunk to the college fund for John’s kids for sure. He has so many beauties and they aren’t too expensive (I think), it’s hard not to buy a bunch

There's one right now I wish I hadn't looked at, I want it badly.

I’m fighting so hard to not look right now too but it may be a futile effort

It was the copper flake sky brush. It actually sold recently, I just went to look at it again.

Greetings,

(Open Comb DE Razor Week.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Carrying on with the Astra Superior Stainless blade, another blade from the St Petersburg camp. The Astra SS i find them to be more efficient and it's longevity is better than the Astra SP. Paired together with the efficient semi-opened comb R41 wonderfully...Using the lightest of touch it cut through my stubble with effortless ease leaving my face feeling dolphin smooth.

A enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups close comfortable near BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few generous squirts of Milton-Lloyd ~ no.9 Victor EDP to the pulse points.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Sat 8th SOTD Astra Blade Challenge
Soap Stirling Baker Street
Brush Yaqi 26mm Mysterious Space Tuxedo
Razor Karve Brass SB-D
Blade Russian Astra Superior Stainless 1st
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + Axe Signature Denim
Really nice soap...The scent was great, the lather was thickly creamy and slick...
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very smooth and very comfortable. Even better feel and efficiency compared with the Czech-made Astra. 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Another excellent aftershave.

First shave with the Arko shave cream and aftershave lotion received from Amazon this week. All in all the cream performed admirably considering it only cost 1.49 GBP. No dryness or irritation encountered. These will be part of my usual shaving rotation replacing the Kent Mentholated shave cream which is nearly done. Have a nice week end all

Brush: H&S 24mm synth
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavy Copper
Lather: Cella (brick)*
Razor: RR "Lupo" .72
Blade: Silver Star
Post: GBS Alum Block
Balm: CeraVe Moisturizer
Frag: Lalique "Encre Noire"
​

*Added Pantene Hair Conditioner (thick hair formula)
to my lather again. After rinsing off, my face felt
smoother and more supple than I'd normally
expect from using lather alone (even Cella).

Anyway, it made for another great shave.

Stay healthy, everyone!

Hi, what's your thoughts on the Silver Star blade?

Hi, what's your thoughts on the Silver Star blade?

Seems to be a good blade. To me, to my razors and to the way I shave, I'd rate them on a par with Derby Premiums. They do have a reputation for longevity, but I've yet to notice that.
