Blade : GEM Personna SS PTFE (9)
Soap: Razorock Iirish Country side
Brush : Yaqi Rainbow 26mm brown whiskers.
Preshave: Brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Post shave: Pinaud Clubman with witch hazel + Nivea balm
Result:9.5 or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =

Have some great shaves!

Picked this limited edition up on BST and must say it has a lovely delicate scent - similar to the MDC Rose but of the two I think I prefer this - so the Rose will be for sale.

Superb performance and again a no fuss BBS shave finished off with the excellent balm.

The Karve was great and am looking forward to the polished SS version I ordered

Today's shave was pretty simple.

• Razor: Van der Hagen TTO
• Blade: Van der Hagen
• Soap: L'Occitane Cade
• Brush: RazoRock Plissoft synthetic
• Balm: L'Occitane Cade

My lather wasn't as wet as it needed to be and I got a slight bit of irritation on my neck after a two-pass shave with some touch-ups; the balm took care of the irritation. My technique definitely isn't what it used to be and I need to work on that. Still, I got the hair off and I was presentable all day with no nicks or weepers. The real surprise was that the VdH blade was pretty decent and I didn't get any tugging or feel any dullness. The razor itself was delightful and very comfortable to use. I'll call the shave a 7/10.
