Top Flight shave on Wednesday. I'm shaving along with the 2025 Blade Bonanza Top Tier Edition, and I must say I really do like the Wizzies. My experience has been a blade that is nearly equal parts smooth/sharp and above all very comfortable and easy-going. It's not in the top-tier of sharpness, but that doesn't seem to be an issue in practice. It does it's job well and left my skin feeling healthy with an easy DFS+.

Whenever I use TFS Red I inevitably ask myself: why should I use anything else? It's just that good folks.

Comments	This was the second shave with the U.K. Aristocrat and Personna Medical Prep blade. First, an observation. Yesterday’s shave was close and smooth. However, by late afternoon I observed some stubble – something that did not happen when I used the various Razor Rock Game Changer razors. Today’s brush is the Shavemac 177 Silvertip. The brush did a nice job of making lather. The TFS soap was on its 34th use. The shave was perfect. Have a great day and weekend, folks.

Friday afternoon "Valentine's Day" 14/2/25
Hot shower
Razor : Blacklands Blackbird SS Satin finish.
Blade : Gillette Nacet (1)
Brush : Yaqi caramel cats whiskers synthetic.
Soap : Chiselled Face Cryogen Ultra Menthol.
Aftershave : Ralph Lauren Polo Blue.
Weight : 94 grams.

Hi all,
A fantastic shave this afternoon with the blackbird SS and it just gets better and better with each shave.
This is my fourth shave with this razor and I feel I have just about got it dialled in.
The third shave with a Wizamet on shave 3 almost had me nick myself as the blade had dulled
as I was Applying a very slight pressure to try to compensate for the dull blade.
Instead of letting the razor do the work . ( This razor almost shaves by its self it real is that good)
The Nacet is a very good blade which works well in the Blackbird SS.
Unfortunately I only have a couple left and they seam to be a bit hard to get locally.
As for the soap the menthol is a bit to over powering (the name says it all) I only had a sample of it.

After splashing of my only fancy aftershave and dressing up a bit my wife and I went out to dinner.

Cheers every one.

SOTD - “Size Matters” Theme Week - February 10-16, 2025
RazoRock Lupo Club - The Pack


Hello friends

The heat continues. Today, I chose the citrus aromas of Mike’s Lime, which produced a protective foam with the excellent Yaqi Moka Express Two Band. I tested the Lupo 95 SB with the RazoRock Vintage Thick Bar Handle and, although it was more comfortable in my hand, I felt the Thin Bar was more balanced with the Lupo head and, above all, more agile. Perhaps, living up to my proverbial dissatisfaction with things, I imagine that a RazoRock Vintage Regular Bar Handle (between the Thin and the Thick) would be unbeatable…

The Gillette Silver Blue (4) was fantastic, as always. I finished with Pinaud Citrus Musk.

With us, the magnificent Dexter Gordon.

Have a wonderful day and great shaves!
