Comments: A fantastic shave this morning with a fresh, corked blade. Starting this week, I am going to change blades after seven shaves. So, each Sunday hereafter, I will start off with a fresh blade. |

Comments | This was the third day I used my Feather AS-D2 razor with a Feather blade. This combination gave me a nice, smooth shave. I did my usual four-pass shave and the result was a perfect shave. Today’s brush is a Rudy Vey creation: the B&B 2022 Contributors’ brush. I love the color and shape of the handle. I am using the Haslinger soap for the seventh consecutive day. The soap performs great but the scent is gone. The soap had remained unopened for several years. A perfect BBS shave. |
Good to have you back!First post in quite awhile. Life got complicated and time was short. I missed this community and I’m glad to be back.
Razor: Teramasa Tamahagane Kamisori
Stones: Coticle, Water of Ayr, Dan’s Translucent Ark
Brush: Semogue Pegasus
Soap: MSC Bloom
Aftershave: Stirling Sharp Dresses Man
A fresh touch up honing session last night with a new Coticle and Water of Ayr from Griffith Shaving Goods and then finished on my Dan’s Translucent Ark provided a very comfortable and keen edge.
It’ll take a little time to dial in my technique with the new Coti & Scotch Hone but I’m happy with the first results.
As an Omega fan boy, I readily admit that the Semogue Pegasus Boar is great. I love the size, bristles, and balance of scrub and softness. If you like you might one to try one.
A very comfortable shave that yielded great results. No irritation or issues. 9.5/10.
