Been shaving everyday lately with this set up. Great results, close no irritation. Surprising to me as in the past I got irritation a lot of the time when shaving every 24 hrs. The razor’s mild and the blades performing very well. When I take my time lathering this Soap it gets a decent amount of cushion to it. I plan on a bulk order of it thru Amazon. It’s quite underrated and is a great value.

Greetings,
Only half a day at the mill today, having got most of our work done yesterday.
A wonderful relaxing 3 pass + pick ups sunday shave with no errors to report.
Recently after a ruthless den clear out i've started to add shaving kit i've hardly used. The vast majority of my shave set-ups are very in-expensive, today showed me again that you don't need to spend a small fortune to get a good shave.
I was fortunate to have some of my kit passed on to me.The Lord L125 is just one of them that pairs up well with the non-aggressive Dorco ST300. ive mentioned its not the sharpest of blades, but it's very smooth, so extra buffing doesn't cause any irritation, I also have a Rimei Plastic click razor,another razor passed on to me that i use as a travel razor and for shaving the back my neck, the Dorco ST300 blade matches up really well with it, like the Lord ST300 giving me acceptable comfortable shaving results..Another DE razor i'll have to add to my more regular to my razor rotation in future shave set ups.
It's always nice to use my more expensive shaving items in my den, it make me appreciate them more, but i get the same results & enjoyment from either, today was no exception with this very in-expensive shave set up.I never forget my humble beginning's when i first entered into the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving.
Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Gillette ~ Sensitive A/S Balm.
