9/10

Haven't shaved since last Friday. Wanted the hair to grow out more before I tried the Merker Futur on setting #6 for the first time. It slices everything very smoothly going with the grain.

I was a little rough going against the grain around the neck area, got some razor burn.

Razor: Merkur Futur
Cream Speick
Blade: Personna Lab Blue. 1st time using this.
Aftershave: Green Proraso balm.

[Kyle89]

Pre-shave: Proraso Red
Soap: AoS Sandalwood
Razor: Gillette NEW Long Comb
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless (6)
Aftershave: Aqua Velva

Decent shave, albeit a few weepers. As much as I try to improve my AoS lather game, I still draw blood, which isn't the case with other products I use. It is what it is I guess. I'll keep trying.

Kyle, I assume that this is a new AoS soap? It used to be top-shelf years ago, but after the change I wouldn’t give it the time of day. Move on if you need to.

Todays shave:-
Prep - Warm Shower.
Brush - Rocky Mountain Barber Pure Badger.
Cream - Taylors Sandalwood.
Razor - Bambaw DE Bamboo Handle.
Blade - Astra Superior Platinum.
Aftershave - Woodspice Original.

Rating 7/10 - Being my first DE shave for 40 years, it went fairly well. I think i got the lather a bit too thin though, but no discomfort.
3 minor nicks on 3rd pass, but nothing too drastic. This was a far better shave than my previous cartridge system, and I feel very clean and smooth. Things will get better with practice I'm sure, but I'm pleased with this first time DE shave. I enjoyed the experience which took about 15-20 minutes longer than my previous cartridge shaves.
Pleased!

My Tuesday Morning Shave

Prep: Warm shower w/ a little conditioner on my whiskers​

Two pass shave w/ touch-up: WTG, ATG/XTG​

Razor: Schick Krona DE (First time using)​

Blade: Gillette Nacet (1)​

Pre-Shave Cream: Proraso Red, Sandalwood & Shea Butter​

Brush: Vie-Long Horse Hair​

Soap: Colonel Conk Natural Shave Cream Rio Grande Lavender​

Aftershave: Nivea Sensitive Cooling Post Shave Balm​

Rating: 10/10! BBS! DFS+ No nicks! No irritation

• First time using this razor. I really like it.
  • Usually the Nacet is a little aggressive its first use, but not today.
  • The Schick felt really light, but I adjusted quickly. I have been using my Merkur Progress, Rockwell 6S, and Karve for my DE shaves lately, which are all a lot heavier than this one.
  • I have no idea what the vintage this razor is. If anyone knows, chime in please
• This Col Conk soap worked really well once again. And it matches well with my Vie-Long horse brush.

Thank you, I’ll move on. I didn’t realize there was a formula change. Thanks for the tip. Bought it last winter. I’ll make it my cartridge cream.
