KarveD w/Gillette black
EJ STFv1 25mm
SV - Felce Aromatica
DIY lemon myrtle oil/Sacred Earth splash

A very enjoyable "SV Sunday" shave!

The blade however, is nowhere near as efficient as the Polsilver. I still achieved a smooth shave but it took a lot of extra swipes and still not the glass like finish I get with the Polsilver.

First use of the scuttle in a while and it was just lovely to have some warm lather for this morning's shave. Three delightful passes later and BBS. Happy days.

The tallow Haslinger is an excellent soap, not particularly strong on fragrance but the performance is so good it does not need much else.

How are you enjoying the Astra Superior Stainless so far against the Astra Superior Platinum??

To date I found the Astra Superior Stainless work best in the Wolfman for me. The Astra Superior Platinum perform better in the Karve C.B and Gillette adjustables. Feather blades in the Raw RS-10 and Timeless 0.68 are sublime .

Monday shave with the open comb D plate. This thing is very efficient and paired with the Voskhod blade on its second use, let’s just say that the first pass was tough. Felt like it was tugging or that the lather wasn’t slick (which it was) but I persisted and on the second pass, all seemed good with the universe.

A few touch ups on the chin and we have a very nice shave.

Determined to see the Floid finished off on weekday shaves now.
