February 6, 2025 Thursday shave

Razor: Razorock Game Changer .76P
Blade: Suneko (2)
Soap: Cella red
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
Bowl: Captain's Choice copper
Aftershave: Fine Snake Bite

The .76P delivered another stellar shave today. It was a smooth and easy shave with no issues. Part of the credit goes to the Suneko blade used today. They have proven themselves to be consistently good, very smooth and sharp. This was a pleasant and effective shave!

Hello friends

A hot and sunny day. I used the SV 70th Anniversary to help me in these moments of intense heat. Semogue SOC Mistura, Ambassador @6/5/4 and Gillette Platinum Light Blue PPI (3) gave me an immaculate shave. I finished with the delicious Ach. Brito AtlΓ’ntico.

With us the wonderful Marian McPartland.

Rating: 10


Have a wonderful day and great shaves!

Shave of the Day_07-02-2025

Got to be a 10/10 BBS tonight

Razor - Yintal Solid Brass Closed Comb
Blade - Suneko
Brush - Unbleached Boar
Soap - Savon de Marseille - Linden Blossom
Bowl - Seventies Glass Ashtray
Spray - Ard Al Zafaaran - Dirham Silver
attar - Vintage Qadeem Cambodian Oud

Had another go with one of my four brass Yintals which are all excellent for me paired with the mega Suneko blade.

No problem getting to the nitty gritty - very satisfactory indeed - never tried the SdM Linden Blossom before - it smells heavenly ; even the Dragon wants some so will get a few more.

The new Arabian deodorant smells really classy too; that's a keeper.

Job's a good 'un !

Friday Afternoon 7/2/2025
Hot shower
Razor : Blacklands Blackbird SS Satin finish.
Blade : Wizamet. (1)
Brush : Yaqi caramel cats whiskers synthetic.
Soap : Proraso Cypress & Vetyver.
Aftershave : Proraso Eucalyptus Menthol.
Weight : 94 grams.
Hi all,
A top shave this afternoon with the Blackbird SS I purchased the razor on BST on paste & cut.
I am still quite new to modern razors and like all of us I have had heard all the hype about the Blackbird and some of it is true.
1 It gives a great close shave.
2 It's build quality is very good (I know nothing about CNC machining).
3 Is it the grail of razors I can't say.
It's a very good razor I enjoyed using the it and this was my first time using this razor.
I think it will only get better with more use.

Cheers.
