One of my heaviest SRs, a Titan ACRO T.H.64 weighing in at 95g. This Japanese stainless steel ⅞ half hollow Dutch point razor was made in Taiwan in 2018 to mark Titan's centenary of SR manufacture. It is dressed in African black wood timber scales with the blade's edge finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa. For this week, I am lathering with Razorock black label soap.

Titan was a Japanese company established in 1918 in Incheon when the Korean peninsular was part of the Japanese empire. The company moved its manufacturing to Yilan in Taiwan after WWII while keeping its Japanese routes.

The Treet 7 Days – Platinum was in my Gillette British Rocket FlareTip 1950’s today.
Perfect daily shave blade, very smooth DFS. No weepers or discomfort.
Proraso Green has a nice scent, not too strong. A cool tingle on the skin from the Menthol.
As always, I finished with the Great Smell of Brut!

7 Days - Platinum
  • Razor Gillette Super Adjustable (5) O1 1969
  • Blade Treet 7 Days – Platinum
  • Pre-Shave Pears soap (Mint)
  • Brush Synthetic
  • Cream Wilkinson Sword – Black – Barber Style
  • Post Shave Nivea Sensitive Pro Moisturizer

The Morning Shave.

The Treet 7 Days – Platinum was in my Gillette Super Adjustable O1 1969 today.
Nice easy daily shave, very smooth DFS.
I would consider the Treet 7 Days Platinum to be suitable for a daily shaver. The opposite to the 7am Plus, there is lot more bite to the 7am - YMMV.
The Wilkinson Sword soap has a mild citrus scent, very easy to lather and really affordable in the UK.

I finished with the Brut Aftershave & Splash, love the scent and good skin tonic.

 
THURSDAY EVENING SHAVE

Baili-Oaken-ESB.jpg


Razor - Baili BT 131
Lather - Razorock Puros
Blade - Feather Sharp Stainless Steel
Shaving Brush - ESB Ox Handle Boar
Lather Bowl - Oaken Lab Hand Made
Post Shave - Nivea Deep Comfort Vanilla Bourbon

Getting back to the Razorock Puros Tub after ages was like saying, "Hello old friend." Somehow with all the new artisan brands I forgot that the old school Italian soaps with the simplest formulas are great workhorses which get the job done well. Never thought that the scent was anything like a Cigar or Tobacco but the lather was dense and slick as ever. Took me awhile to wash it off my face and loved the post shave feel of it.
