Perfect Monday shave (9.25/10) to start the day, the GP blade is doing great in the Edwin Jagger and I’m getting a very smooth post-shave feel after two passes. No leaks, ZERO alum burn this morning (the extra .25 rating). Still love the Otter and the lather, while using Marco’s Method, is absolutely luxurious - on a couple of passes I had to check the razor for stubble because I felt absolutely nothing and there was definitely stubble in the cream. Good stuff Maynard!View attachment 2005613
That's a really nice looking razor! Chatsworth by EJ correct?
 
March 4, 2025 Tuesday shave

Razor: Karve Overlander, stainless steel
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (4)
Soap: Stirling Scots Pine Sheep sample (26)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia
Bowl: Captain's Choice copper
Aftershave: Fine Snake Bite

This was a good shave, although a little exhausting. I'm still fighting a stubborn illness.
There may be one more shave left in the Stirling soap sample, maybe... It's great soap.
No issues to report, just an easy and satisfying shave.

Pre: Hot shower, RE Pre-shave Bar
Razor: EJ Chatsworth (KCG Handle for fun)
Blade: Gillette Platinum (4)
Soap: RE Old School
Brush: RE Acrylic Best 🦡
Post: Thayer’s unscented witch hazel, RE Old School Splash

Decent shave this snowy morning, one little tiny leak of my own doing, trying to be a little more aggressive under the jawline, (8.5/10). The RE Old School combo is great, lathers up very fast and the smell is quite refreshing - shipping left little to be desired on this order though (both on RE and USPS), but I’m happy with the products. Gillette Platinum going strong after four shaves now. Have a great day gents!
