One Blade in Fruity February
Synthetic Sunday SOTD
Daily Double
Razor: Gold Dollar 66
Razor: Karve SBG
Blade: Gillette Platinum (11)
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T1
Soap: Fine Italian Citrus
ASL: Pinaud Classic Vanilla

I'm writing this about 12 hours after shaving in the morning, and my face and neck are just as smooth as they were then.
The GD66 responded nicely to the ark with a smooth WTG face pass, then I let the Meat Clever take over for a WTG, ATG, WTG shave, because there is no way a razor with this large a gap and efficiency should be this smooth.
But it is.
My only complaint about the Trafalgar T1 is the handle is too small and constantly dripped all over my hand. The brush itself was superb. I might try a T2.
The Fine Italian Citrus is a soap I could use for the FFFMM.

The Witch hazel felt slick, the Classic Vanilla gave off a little heat, and the Nivea balm was pleasant.

Have a Great Shave

Notes to today’s shave:

Went back to the Swing but the blade was less effective this time around even though stubble was less than yesterday. Previous shaves had been amazing so I am putting this on the blade’s performance. I have loaded the blade for one final time into the Old Type to close off OBiF for tomorrow.

Enjoy your shave.

Razor: High Proof Razor
Blade: Nacet (half)
Soap: Stirling Glacial Citron
Brush: Omega S
AS: Lucky Tiger

Rating: 9.6/10

Excellent shave, required quite a bit of buffing to achieve BBS but zero irritation from the extra buffing. I'm not a head shaver but I also shaved the back of my neck with excellent results due to the High Proof's pivoting head.

New WARS? Does it smell the same?

It doesn't smell like old Wars at all.

According to the manufacturer, it has a delicate refreshing fragrance...

For me there is practically no smell... But it doesn't bother me.
