| Comments | I am ending the week with a different razor: a Henson AL13++. This is the milder version of the Henson AL13. I loaded the razor with a fresh Personna Medical Prep blade. I did a four-pass shave on my face and a two-pass shave on my head. Despite all the passes on my face I had to do some touch-ups. Today’s brush is a Kent BK8, the Silvertip badger version – which is no longer being made. The brush did an excellent job of making lather. The shave was smooth. I would have rated it a 10 if I did not need to do some touchups to remove some stubble on my neck. Have a wonderful day, folks. |

DE SOTD, Saturday, August 31st 2024, total Razorock shave for a change!
Razor : Razorock Game changer.84 316SSP with a Razorock button knob 316SSP knurled. Mfg 2018>, tame mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC. Blade loading is different for this 3pc razor but works with no issues over the years. I like to use a Kai SS extra wide blade in this razor for a little more blade feel and results are stellar. I have used many other blades but the Kai SS gives a little more blade exposure but nothing over the top. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning!
Blade : Kai SS (8) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. This blade is slightly wider than other DE blades by 8-9/1000 of inch. Top tier blade for those mild razors without using shims!
Soap : Razorock Lavender, very nice masculine scent of lavender and a few other scents + excellent lather qualities. (Discontinued) One of my favorite Lavender soaps by far!
Brush : Razorock 24mm Plissoft synthetic. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. One of the best synthetic brushes I owned 7 yrs ago but synthetic knots have had a few generation changes over the years.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock King louis lavender splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :
or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=
Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my RR GC.84 with a Kai SS blade.
Have some great shaves!

Soap Noble Otter Lonestar
First use of this razor from Pearl shaving it’s pretty close to the De89 and R89 Razors in efficiency, but the additional weight helps it cut through whiskers easier and it’s cool looking

Semogue Saturdays!
Hello friends
It seems that the cold weather has gone away. Even so, today I chose the scent of vetiver as the theme for my shave. SV Desert Vetiver, with its smoky notes, was as always fantastic with the also stupendous Pegasus Mistura, which quickly became an old friend. And speaking of friendship, Greencult 2.0 with its maximum strength, plate IV and BIC CP (3) gave me a deep shave, taking part of my soul with it. I finished with the unpretentious but delicious Malizia Uomo. And I complemented it with a masterpiece, Chanel Sycomore.
With us, another old friend, Johnny Hartman.

What's that brush handle?
It looks so much like my grandfather's Vero.
Did you have to remove a metal ring from the top to fit this knot in?
