Doing a re-reading of “The chronicles of Nárnia”. I’m in the middle of the third book (The voyage of the Dawn Treader).

I’m really digging this new edition. The old one have a not so good translation and have no illustrations.

Razor: Lupo 95OC

Brush: SOC Finest

Soap: Arko

Blade: Rhino (1)

The Rhino blade is way smoother than the Swordfish and the Jaws. By now is my favorite of the bunch.

Rhino>>>Swordfish>Jaws

Razor: Blackbird TI

Brush: SOC Mistura

Soap: Arko

Blade: Pink Flying Eagle (1)

Bowl: Captain’s Choice

Today facing a 4 days beard is the Pink Flying Eagle. A smooth shave.

In general, those Chinese blades lost a lot sharpness from the second shave. The third shave is a little rough. Until now the Rhino is the best of the bunch. Rhino>Swordfish>Pink Flying Eagle>Jaws.

@thombrogan Lately, only in buying mode. A lot of things to do in the end of year.

Hopefully next week I’ll start a new one

Soap: Seaforth Sea Spice Lime

Blade: Gillette Platinum Silver Dot (3)

Trying to up my mood. Today I use my favorite shaving gear. Love this soap. The Gillette Platinum beats the 3 days beard with ease. Maybe this blade can take one more shave.

Razor: Gamechanger 84SB

Brush: SOC Finest Badger

Soap: Arko

Blade: London Bridge Orange package (1)

This blade is sharp and I like sharp blades. I need a extra care in this shave to avoid any nicks. Probably the second shave will “tame” this blade.
