Pre: P.A.A. Cube 2.0 w/ Cube Dock

Razor: @Atelier DURDAN "Le Maurice" (3-step shave - 1.2, 1.0, 0.8)
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (D4)

Soap: P.A.A. - Sacré Bleu
Brush: Yaqi Ocean
Bowl: Bluff Cove Pottery

Post 1: P.A.A. Alum No-Slip Grip System w/ Dry Dock System
Post 2: Dickinson's Enhanced Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Astringent w/ Menthol & Eucalyptus
Aftershave: P.A.A. - Sacré Bleu

Today I decided to use all three of the Le Maurice heads in a step-down shave. After using them each individually I decided to try them all together in one shave.

I began with some absolutely amazing Sacré Bleu shaving soap from Phoenix Shaving. I have to say, this stuff is ridiculously good! Honestly, I think too many people slept in this one. If you even remotely like Aqua Velva or vintage shaving scents, do yourself a favor and pick this one up. You'll thank me for it. That is of course if it gets released again.

With my 28mm Yaqi Ocean synthetic I whipped up some luxurious lather and then went to it. I mean the brush is blue so I had to use it, right?

I started with the brass 1.2 head for my initial with-the-grain pass which went quite well. I used a light touch and the open-comb side to do the bulk of the hair removal before switching to the stainless steel 1.0 head. With this middle-of-the-road head, I did two across-the-grain passes. One in each direction. I then finished things up with the titanium 0.8 head. My against-the-grain pass and buffing with this head were good. I felt less irritation going against the grain after following this step-down method.

My shave was finished off with some glorious Sacré Bleu aftershave/cologne and I couldn't be happier.

I have to say that after using the Le Maurice razor for a bit, I think that overall it truely is a great razor. What Augustin has done is beautiful and truly deserving of praise. The level of artistry he's demonstrated with his superb machining skills should be appreciated and respected. The Le Maurice is a razor worth owning!

*Disclaimer - The razor I've shown is part of a long-running pass-around and is an older version. Check out his website for the latest version. The site has material and handle options.

**PSA - A Copper version is coming soon!

Alright my good friends. That's all for today. Take care and enjoy your shaves!

Close and comfortable two pass shave tonight. The edge was freshly touched up on 1um film, but I’m not totally happy with it. I’ll take it back to the film this weekend and see if I can improve it.
