The pic is from about a couple weeks ago, but I've been using this razor a lot lately.
Trying to prime myself for the jump to a straight razor.
Irving Barber Company Shavette with Feather Pro artist club blade.
Zazor shave again. Sadly I managed to nick myself on my throat, so I was left with a small cut about the same size as the entire DE blade. But at least it wasn't around my adam's apple.
Soap: Proraso red tub
Blade: Personna red
Razor: Zazor
Pre-shave: Proraso green 15 ml travel size
Aftershave: Nivea Men sensetive aftershave balm
Lather: Stirling Baker Street (sample) Brush: Proraso Professional (27/57mm) Razor: Feather SS Kamisori 6/8 (clone) Blade: Feather Artist Club ProGuard [4] Post: Pur-est Musk/Bay Rum/Glycerine/Aloe
Great shave with the fixed handled Feather SS clone. I don't know if I'm liking it better than the folding version, but they are different. There's definitely a place for both in my den.
Lather: Cyril R. Salter Luxury Cream - French Vetiver Brush: Semogue 620 (21/50mm) Razor: Univinlions Kai Captain, straight (clone) Blade: Feather Artist Club ProGuard [5] Post: Alum Balm: Aqua Velva Sensitive 5 in 1 After Shave Balm
Horrible shave today - I was so unhappy with the results that I didn't want to take a picture to remind me of it.
Soap and brush were amazing, but the wheels feel off the bus during the first pass. I got 6 weepers! I know this razor demands the utmost respect with a new sharp blade, but I didn't think I did anything wrong. The alum burned like brimstone.
Time to regroup and take it easy for a couple of days.
Hadn't planned on a shavette today, but you just never know...

Ended up with a daily double today. Three passes with the KAMA and I could hear the stubble on the towel after rinsing. Went to the Universal for a 2nd ATG pass (4th total) for the cleanup.
STILL working on the 8 blade sampler pack from a year ago. Yeah, the Universal doesn't come out to play very often. Great razor when it does make an appearance though.
For the first time since Jimmy Carter was president, I did something new shaving. I shaved with a shavette. A Tuckmar with half a DE blade. I think I should have used something different, but it was what I had. Shave was not bad, one weeper that I do not know from where. Soap gave good cushioning and no burn from the Old Spice
