Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60, French point 6/8 shorty (with sharp pointy toe :happy:), finished and maintained on Diamond pasted balsa and dressed in flame figured European maple timber scales 🥰. I absolutely love shaving with this razor. It is not just the blade but also the looks and feel of the scales.

Have been wondering about Cremo for some time. If it gets a gig in your exemplary rotation I’m kinda thinking it may be okay?

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pick-up in the P&C Charity Auction a few years back, and yes - I rate it.
The scent in this version is minty, which I don't mind, but not exactly in my wheelhouse. I'd like to get my hands on their Sandalwood version.

Keep your eyes clear from Terror, otherwise, you’ll be crying all day long.

Rafl Aust (Germany) ⅞ full hollow, finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa and dressed in blond horn scales. This is one of my prettiest razors.

I don't know if it is the razor, my technique or that yesterday I shaved with a not-so perfect Feather blade, but this morning's shave was oh-so smooth and close.
 

SOTD – Mon 18 Dec 2023

Had a tough weekend with fridges breaking down and also sad & stressful family news but I did enjoy this shave.

Shave Report: Awesome overall performance from the Shannon's soap, a top Tier performer for me. From the lather I get a very pleasant warm sophisticated aroma of citrus, lavender & woody aroma, a well blended juice,scent strength is about 5/10. The Legend AC razor with the Captain Titan Mild blade provided me with a mild, smooth, yet efficient shave.
