[Ratso]

Almost forgot about Tiger week and switched blades after swapping out the Super Thin Platinum.

Gillette Fatboy setting 6
Tiger platinum. 1st use.
TOBS Royal Forest
Semogue Hi Brush synthetic
Thayers witch hazel
Cella green aftershave
Proraso blue balm
Alum feedback. Face-low. Neck-low..medium.
Good shave until the third pass and things got a little rough.
I remember tossing a Tiger Platinum during the third shave because it pooped out. I’ll try it again tomorrow and see if it’s at EOL.
I’m reducing my rating from 9 to 8.5 because of the last pass. The shave was as close as I usually get.

3-pass CCS

Prep hot shower wash face with PdP Karite bar soap
Art of Shaving unscented pre-shave oil
Shave cream Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood
Brush Omega boar with white handle
Yaqi dark blue plastic lather bowl
Razor Gillette 1955 A-1 Super Speed flare tip
Blade Gillette Platinum (2)
After shave Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood
Van Der Hagen unscented after shave balm (applied a bit later)

I shaved while listening to college radio in the bathroom on a little Sony portable.
My Gillette was smooth, I have to keep touching my chin and jawline due to the
glassy marble feel. I'm left feeling impressed with the Van Der Hagen ASB from Amazon.

Lovely shave this evening on 36 hours growth. Electric Sheep is hands down my favorite Stirling soap, and it never disappoints. PermaSharp is still going strong at 6 shaves.

Lather: Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic
Blade: Kai Titan Mild (5)
Razor: Vector
Post: Stirling Glacial Citron
First aid: Alum

This shave took a funny turn at the end; everything seemed to be going well and then a few weepers cropped up. Some alum helped. The aftershave also stung a bit today. Must have been a little too much pressure involved. 8/10.

Wow. My second shave with MDC, first time with Fougere. I wish I got all 5 samples in my initial order. Super slick lather, lovely scent. I feel like such a noob writing my little review, when most of you already know all this lol.

Aqua Velva pairs well with MDC I thought, classic.

10/10 Cheers!
