And provide ammunition for the cartridge-shaving drones? Maybe not a good idea...Bloody hell,You should start a shaving injuries thread !
If we saw someone whose blood was ketchup consistency I’d say he has bigger problems than a razor cut!
Nothing wrong with showing the SOTD as it is. Keep it up.
I really should take SOTD shots pre-shave when the brush is nice and fluffy lol.
Razor: King C Gillette
Blade: qshave titanium
Soap: proraso green
Brush: Edwin jagger synthetic
Im liking the King C more and more simply because it’s such a workhorse for the money and it’s an easy razor to use. Today’s shave was quite smooth but once again the qshave titanium is the weak link here. Not sharp enough for mild razors. Gonna write them off and not be a tightarse lol. I’ve also got to kick the habit of buffing at the end without any shaving cream which is what I did with cartridges. This bad buffing is what gives me razor burn.
Pre-shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Forgotton Art - Bushman 26mm tuxedo
Soap/Cream: Blue Devil Shave Co. - Sinnerman Orange
Razor: Rex - Envoy
Blade: - Personna - Platinum (5&6)
Post-shave: Lucky Tiger - AS face tonic / Face moisturiser
2 pass WTG+ touchups = DFS+. This has been my shave set-up for the last 2 shaves, now I am up to date.
The Soap, Blue Devil Shave Company - Sinnerman. Scent off the tub is medium to strong, and medium once lathered. Scent notes Orange, Cinnamon, Vanilla. A simple scent profile and one that works. Sour/bitter orange with the spicey yet sweet cinnamon note over a base of smooth vanilla. Sort of reminds me of the those red coated chocolate Jaffa lollies when I was a child. The ones you used to throw at the people in the front rows at the cinema.
Blue Devil Shave Co. Is a new Australian artisan as mentioned in this thread https://paste-and-cut.com.au/community/threads/blue-devil-shave-co.6743/
My last two shaves have been with this soap so I could get a good feel for the soap as I never used this soap before.
For starters it was very easy to lather, and did not require a lot of water. Lather was thick, volumous, slick, cushioning, with great residual slickness, and a great post shave. Let me say I was not surprised. Call it a sixth sense, but I knew from looking at the soap it was going to be something special, and I was not disappointed. Only a few soaps I have said that for in the past, and non of them Australian.
Performance wise, this is the best Australian soap I have used to date. Yes I think I have tried all the known Aussie artisan soaps made in the last 10 years except @Pbgoose. ( who I hope one day to try a sample from his secret stash
For a series one soap base release, Blue Devil Shave Co. have done extremely well. The scents are basic and uncomplicated which is a good thing for a new company. Taking risks with complicated scents especially if it's an original new scent, could be financial burden on a new business until it takes off. I think it's a wise decision what Blue Devil Shave Co. have done with the soap scents, as they have an exceptional product to build from. It can only get better as time goes on. I wish Craig and Blue Devil Shave Co. all the best for the future, and I hope to purchase more of your products shortly. ( need to use my tub of vetiver first
My first soap for 2021 that gets my two thumbs up new soap approval.
Agree 100% as I'm not sure what @Pbgoose puts in his recipe but it manages to produce slick lather with awesome post shave feel everytime!
Are you sure? isn't ketchup
. Can't remember the last time I cut myself doing my head. The reason I use the 6S is it's an auto pilot razor for the job. Not huge but heads bleed a LOT. First pass with only half a head done too so needed to carry on.

On the other hand, the worst shaving injury I've inflicted upon myself is when I "shaved" in the wrong direction (in a very hungover state) with one of the triple-blade thingies and gave myself a nice triple gash on my jawline. I never got anything that bad with a str8.
There's a bit that you can do with your pre-shave to extend your blades, but ultimately it comes down to genetics - how tough your whiskers are. I suspect @SpeedyPC of having cotton-floss whiskers
, there's no way most human beings get that many shaves out of a blade.
