Post: Zingari Man - The Explorer Balm
Rating: 9.8/10

One tiny weeper but apart from that a very close shave. This is the fifth different blade I've used in the Blackbird since I got it and they've all performed perfectly. It doesn't seem to be blade sensitive at all. If I had to choose a favourite so far then it would be the BIC by a small margin, still got lots of others to try though.

Saturday morning shave

Razor: Feather AC
Blade: Feather Proguard (1)
Brush: Boar
Soap: Tabac
Post: Pinaud Clubman

Haven’t missed a days shave in over 6 months...since yesterday. Using the Feather on two days growth was effortless. The scent of Tabac seems to be polarizing, I find it a fresh, clean soapy smell, very pleasant. Missed Clubman Friday due to work obligations, so better late than never. A very smooth shave with a new blade and great post shave feel from the Tabac. Happy Saturday!

New Soap!!!
​

So I broke out another soap and while the performance was again right on point I am not a fan of the scent. And after rereading it, it smells EXACTLY like it says so if that is what your looking for, this is your go to. My better half has stated she is not a fan, at all.

Days two on the blade. This blade makes me wonder sometime if it is even in there then if my angle is off, it reminds me that it is. First go round with the unscented splash. It did what it was purchased for so that is cool.

Always enjoy using this @Graydog handled brush. It is the brush in my limited rotation that has what I believe is considered backbone. It doesn't splay unless I start at my chin. But it is the softest brush also. And creates fluffy larger as fast as a badger. My brushes all have their own attitudes.

Because I got lazy I will knock the score some, no issue from the supplies though.

Sunday Shave - A “mantastic” DFS++ shave with good old “OLD SPICE” - 9.5/10

Will you all believe me if I say I had never shaved before with Old Spice Shaving Cream! Does this make me sound like a fool and is forcing you to think how could a man in 37 years of his life time did not use such an iconic brand for shaving! Well I used their EDT, Shower Gel but yes I had never used an Old Spice shaving cream before and it makes me realise today after my shave that I was really a fool not to use it for so long. I mean there was no specific reason not to use, mostly I used to end up picking a Gillette shave cream or a Godrej (another beauty Indians will swear by like Old Spice) for no specific reason.
Hence when I went to the Supermarket yesterday I made a point to pick up 2 Old Spice shaving cream tubes - one the original fragrance and the other one the lime one! Used the original shaving cream today.


Pre Shave - Face wash using Truefitt & Hill No. 10 face scrub along with Warm water
Brush - Hajamat Ashwood Handle synthetic shaving brush
Shaving Soap - Old Spice “Original” fragrance Shaving Cream
Razor - Edwin Jagger DE89
Blade - Astra Superior Platinum on 1st use
Post Shave - Running cold water splash along with application of alum
Aftershave - Pink Woolf Oudh and Sandalwood Aftershave Balm

The shaving cream is really nice apart from being pocket friendly. Creates excellent lather with great slickness and the smell took me back to my childhood days when my father used to use this cream while shaving. Very nostalgic fragrance. On face lathering created sufficient lather for the 2 pass shave I did today.

The Astra SPs on first use with a mild razor always performs great. First pass was WTG and 2nd was ATG and post it did not feel like doing anything and stopped right there. The result is a DFS++ which is a tad below BBS. No weepers, cuts, nicks or redness on skin.

The alum did not give any significant feedback. Ended the great shave with a generous dollop of the aftershave whose Oudh & Sandalwood fragrance actually takes you to a state of trance! Amazing fragrance must say whilst the balm also made the face feel soft and supple.

Next shave is due tomorrow.

Thank you and wishing all a great Sunday ahead.

Sunday’s shave is once again with Klar Seifen Rasiwerseife soap. Next week I will be using different soaps all week. I am using a Paladin PK47 brush. The razor is a Karve SB with the D plate loaded with a Wizamet Super Iridium blade for the first shave. The aftershave is Thayers Rose Petal WH and L’Occitane ASB. After a shower, some Jimmy Choo Man Intense fragrance. Great 10/10 shave.

Aftershave: Aqua Velva

Better lather quality this morning. Getting less and less timid on the amount of water I'm adding. Decent shave, but not my favorite post-shave feel. Unsure if it's because the air is starting to dry up though. It's in the 50s this morning.
