Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: Blue Devil ‘Vetiver’
Razor: Charcoal Goods Gen1 Lvl2
Blade: Feather (1)
Post-shave: Alum block, Razorock Emperor, Armaf ‘Club de Nuit’

After a couple of months endeavouring to shave with a straight, I had a hankering for a good old, no stress, carefree DE shave. I picked a sharp unforgiving blade, and placed it in a medium aggressive forgiving razor and voila! Just what the doctor ordered. DFS+

I missed that as we’ll. OK everybody, send all your packages to Boston care of @Gargravarr and he will bring them back to OZ for you😇

Now is a good time to be here, we've had some glorious spring days. I'm mostly here, however, because my old Dad isn't doing too well. The Gargravarrs go back for a thousand years here, so I still think of it as home even though it really isn't anymore...

Didn't even feel the razor on my face - was I really shaving this morning or did the stubble just fall off?

This morning I was going to shave with a Titan 1918 ACRO T.H.64 that I recently set the bevel on using 1k & 3k Chinese synthetic whetstones. While going through my SR stable, I noticed a Puma 1⅝ that had not been used for a while. I decided that the ACRO T.H.64 can wait until tomorrow and took the Puma out for a drive. For a pleasant change, the shave soap I selected was a Palmolive stick (German), generously PIFed to me from Bahrain.

​
Not my most aesthetically pleasing razor but always a very good performer, it did not disappoint me. After its work, the Puma 1⅝ was wiped dry, given about 10 laps on a clean denim strop and maintained on 0.1μm hanging balsa before being Ren waxed and put away in its custom kid-leather pouch.

Using some old stuff here. I have loads of Mike’s soaps from way back. They are so good with the tallow base. Anyone know if he still making soaps?
The old Gillette with the “Super Iridium” is a great pairing. Is this the blade you guys refer to as the “Wizamet”? Where can I buy some of those?
I got a batch of Nacets recently through Amazon. They’re excellent too (after trying samples from @Holiday)

Pre-shave:- Cold Shower
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Brush:- RazoRock Hive Moaksoft HD Synth. 24/53mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Mitchell's Wool Fat
Razor/Blade:- RazoRock SS Lupo 58 / Gillette Minora Stainless #1
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Invite E High Potency Pure Oil (10 drops), Natural Plant Glycerin (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5)
Tipple:- Bruichladdich The Laddie Ten 10yrs Old

The Lupo 58 feels right in the middle or in between the EJDE89/R89 and Merkur 34C/G, however, it's too early for me to tell until further shaves.

For example, EJDE89/R89 - Lupo 58 - Merkur 34C/G (feel the same as the Lupo 67)
