Pre: Shower and Stirling Unscented Pre-Shave Soap Bar
Razor: Post-War Gillette Tech (no date code) with RR UFO handle
Blade: Perma-Sharp (2)
Soap: Cella Bio
Brush: RazoRock Hive 24 Mokasoft Synthetic

Such a great evening shave with the Tech and Cella Bio, 10/10. Sometimes you just need to go back to basics, and this set-up has yet to disappoint. That said, the Timeless Ti .95SB baseplate is incoming tomorrow and I am pretty excited to give it a spin.

Thank you for letting me know. My X3 is my only badger and it's a best. It only felt scritchy for the first handful of shaves. I do like it but what I wish it had was more backbone.

The TOBS Contemporary won't float your boat if backbone is your thing. However, a Chubby in Best probably would.

Nice enough soap, brush, and splash...Enjoyed an easy smooth shave with this razor...Rating 9.5

Razor: GENCO De Roma
Hone: Coticle
Brush: Wald A1
Shaving Cream: Cyril R Salter Indian Sandalwood
Aftershave: Proraso Red Splash

First use of my “new” De Roma, was nice.

Bevel set through finish on my Coticle. A mysterious journey that culminated in a nice shave.

No idea if I can repeat my successful honing, but I’m looking for one of razors that requires attention to find out.

It’s official the Wald A1 combo and CRS shaving cream combo is cheating. Anyone can make nice lather with this combination, it’s Marine proof.

Smooth and comfy shave without any issues, a nice way to start the day. 9.5/10.

Razor: Blackland Sabre Level 2
Blade: Personna PTFE (2)
Brush: Chisel & Hound
Soap and Aftershave: Catie’s Bubbles Reflection

2nd day using the Sabre, I have a feeling will be using this razor more than any of my others. I LOVE this razor.

Catie’s Bubbles Reflection is a wonderful soap. Its a very soft soap, the scent is amazing, the lather is slick and the aftershave compliments the soap perfectly.

Razor 10/10
Soap 10/10

Great choice in razors and an awesome picture. I’m going to have to take a photography class.
