Lather: B&M Bay Rum

Additional Care: Razorock Alumn / Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel / Hyaluronic Acid/Every Man Jack Face Lotion

Today I went back to the Timeless TI.95 loaded with a fresh Voskhod blade. Great shave. First time using a Voskhod and must say I'm impressed. 2 pass shave, WTG/ATG. One small weeper under my nose. But otherwise nice and comfortable.

Razor: The Blackboid, 2nd shave
Blade: Personna Lab Blue, 3rd shave
Brush: Le bâtard super joufflu deux
Cream: CF Lavender
AS: B+M Lavender
Notes: The Blackbird is giving my ATT Windsor H a run for its money. Super impressed. Why did I wait so long to try Blackland? Also, continuing to wonder why Simpson Manchurian is more desirable than Super - after several comparisons, my preference leans towards the Super Duper Knot. YMMV. Hope you and yours are well.

Monday June 8th - a few first time uses today for the cream and brush:
Razor: Parker 99R
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Cream: Cyril Salter - Sublime Citrus
Bowl/Stand: Edwin Jagger Double Wire Razor, Brush, & Bowl Stand
Aftershave: Proraso Lotion & LEA Sensitive Aftershave Balm
Rating: 10
The Sublime Citrus is very nice, glad I’ve finally tried it. Like their other creams easy enough to lather and I got a sense of lemon and tangerine. Very zesty.
The Gentleman’s Face Care Club Brush (synthetic, made in U.K.) is really good in my opinion. Bristles feel somewhere between a badger and a boar brush, definitely got a bit of firmness to it. I’ll be looking forward to trying it out with a soap. They sell their products on Amazon UK.

hardware - Merkur 34c HD
blade - Bolzano (2)
brush - Omega boar
soap - Proraso Green (vtg formula)
After - PAA Mysterium Serum w/Menthol
Rate - 9/10
Two passes & usual touchups yielded a DFS with no regrets. I really did not intend this to be a contest
between the sputnik and bolzano but it has turned into exactly that in my mind. So far it's no contest. I'll
get five good ones out of the bolzy and move on.
Would love to hear opinions from anyone who's used both.

Enjoyed the nice mentholated eucalyptus lather.
2nd Shave combination with razor and blade was really comfortable. Smooth and sharpish...all 3 multiple passes was so pleasant and addictive. Efficient too...resisted the urge to do another pass. BBS for most areas except DFS+ at the usual spot and even then very close.
