Shave of the Day: Thursday February 28, 2019 and Friday March 1, 2019

Shave of the Day: Tuesday February 26, 2019

Razor: Hone Type 15

Blade: Personna Med Prep (4th use)

Brush: Vintage Ever-Ready 

Soap: D.R. Harris Marlborough 

Aftershave: D.R. Harris Marlborough

Although not the easiest to lather with a decent amount of loading D.R. Harris will do the trick. The sharp med preps counter balanced the mild and smooth Hone Type 15 quite well.

Shave of the Day: Saturday February 23, 2019 and Sunday February 24, 2019

Razor: Rod George Catacomb 

Blade: Personna Med Prep (2nd and 3rd use)

Brush: Turn-N-Shave “Wicked”

Cream: Baume.be 

Aftershave Balm: Baume.be

I wish I discovered med preps sooner. Sharp, rigid and long lasting (a similar experience to Kai blades) although not as smooth as Personna’s “blue” and “red” blades.

Williams did the trick. How the f**k do people struggle with this?

Chark Week

This combo just nailed it. Slickness, glide, lather consistency, sheen and post feel being the high points. Hands down of my my top three soap bases. The razor’s highlights are it’s craftsmanship and the coating Rod used on the head which also aids with the glide. Ideal weight and balance too. This knot is in a league of its own when it comes to synthetics. Probably the most pillowy soft knot I have and it retains water more so than most synthetics.
