Anniversary Shave: Today marks the end of my 3rd year of producing shaving videos for my YouTube channel @unclelshaves and I’ve had a great time making them. Also this month marks Traditional Wet shaving for 10 years (started March 2014). As an anniversary shave I mostly used the same products I used back in my 1st Shave video on 7th March 2021.
Shave Report: Lather has a nicely blended Lavender Woody scent with touch of sweetness, solid scent strength 7/10. The Wizamet SI blade is on it’s 21st shave and is the actual blade I used in my first shave video 3 years ago. Overall a lovely smooth, clean DFS from the Rockwell 6c (plate 3) & old Wizamet blade, I’ll try plate 4 with this blade on the next shave.

The Gear:​

  • Pre Shave: Natio for Men - Smooth Shave Gel [A]
  • Brush: Yaqi “Glacier” with 24/52 2Band Badger
  • Soap: Stuga Australia - Cedar & Lavender [A]

This razor will not pass the HHT test, yet it is one of my most comfortable and closest shavers. Just goes to prove that the shave test is more important than the HHT. Had to get out of the house early today and settled for a one pass DFS.
