Good shave. I don’t know much about these blades but they seem to work very well in most of my razors.

Good shave. This razor is pretty gentle on 3 giving me a nice shave with little irritation. This scent gives me the feeling of shoving my face right up to a bottle of gin and giving it a sniff.

Ok shave. Picked up my goofy niche razor and paired it with a comically large boar brush. This soap is so odd I doubt I will ever use the whole tub, the scent is ok, the consistency is very soft yet it is hard to lather and load.

Ok shave today. I’m noticing I missed a spot on my neck, no big deal, must have been a bit tired still.

Good shave. Very enjoyable scent and a soothing aftershave. This blade is at 12 uses and it’s probably time to retire it.

• Blade: GEM Stainless
• Lather: Barrister And Mann - Cheshire - Soap
• Post Shave: Dr. Jons - Pans Pipe - Aftershave

Good shave today. I kind of forgot about SE shaving and applied a little bit to much pressure. Unfortunately I got way to close in one spot on my neck. I will survive but damn these razors require some attention. This is why I am still apprehensive in regards to straight razor shaving, mostly my lack of respect for care and attention while using certain razors I know to be a bit more aggressive. The brand new blade today was a contributing factor to the mistake.

This soap is almost gone and has been for quite sometime. I only bring it out on occasion and today seemed like as good of one as any. The Pans Pipe scent is odd and leaves me with a winter holiday vibe as it is kind of spicy and fruity.
