Razor: Timeless SS 0.68OC
Blade: Feather (new)
Brush: Plisson HMW Horn Handle #12
Soap: Czech & Speake Oxford Cambridge


It’s been I while since the C&S has been out for a run but I now remember why it’s in my top 5 list of soaps. Very mild and slick with a fluffy soft lather. This is the first soap that I was able to shave with daily.

Today was a quick two pass, no touch ups, no fuss. The result was a CCS with no irritation. In my book that’s a 10.

Today's shave:

Pre-shave: Proraso Green
Brush: Razorock Plissoft Bruce
Soap: Italian Barber Amici
Razor: Razorock SLOC
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum (1)
Post-shave:Alum stick, Thayer's Witch Hazel Lavender,

4 passes, BBS. A little too close today. Stung when applying the Alum. Could be this new combination of Amici, SLOC, and BIC Chrome Platinum. Amici provided less protection, the SLOC was efficient, and the BIC on it's 1st use a bit in the rougher side.

7.5/10

Great lather from the bowl. Colonel Conk soaps are fantastic for their creaminess and slickness.
Shave with razor and blade was really good. No weepers but due to such a nice shaver...overdo abit and results in some irritation on the jawline and neck.
3+1pass. Wtg, xtg/atg, atg & xtg.
Result was BBS but some irritation. Rating today 9/10

Wow - bit of a pleasant surprise this one .... ordered really as I fancied the scent of fig/apple but wasn't ready for top notch performance that goes with it !!

Soap smelled fantastic - subtle and not as strong as US artisans seem to produce but very very nice

Easy to lather - I think it may be best suited to face lathering as I bowl lather and I was thinking it was lacking body till I face lathered and the lather just kept on building.

First stroke I had to check I had a blade in the razor !! 3 passes later and I have one of the closest shaves I can remember - great glide and protection.
Post shave feel again is very good without the "fat" that tallow seems to give ... but it still feels excellent.

Matching splash has a slightly stronger scent which again matches the soap perfectly and although alcohol in the ingredients didn't give any sting on application. Seemed to absorb instantly and left the skin feeling great.

Can't believe I've only just come across this maker - well under the radar and is a top performer.

Thursday's Shave

Back to T&H Ultimate Comfort cream with an Omega Hi syn brush. The razor was my Wolfman WR2 SB 1.05 loaded with a Feather blade. Aftershave was Thayers Rose Petal WH + DR Harris Arlington Aftershave Milk. After a shower the fragrance was Jimmy Choo Intense Man.

Shave was 9/10. Should have tossed the Feather blade.

Razor: Timeless SS 0.68OC
Blade: Feather (new)
Soap: Czech & Speake Oxford Cambridge
AS: Thayers WH & Nivea Balm

Another run for the Czech & Speake. This is Volabra made, tallow based, soap is the real deal. Back to basics with a ‘just enough take the soap off’ pressure. Also testing out a slightly revised sweep path under the jaw line.

Fantastic result. Could be a personal best. A very close, very comfortable, two-pass with touch up. In my book that’s a 10.

The Envoy is the perfect size and weight, and the Dorco was sharp and comfortable. I just need some time to learn both a bit more so I’m not going over the same spots too much.
