I’m a little under the weather today, so a single pass with a Gillette Mach 3 Turbo. One pass with 5 blades does not produce nearly the quality of shave of even two passes with a single blade, even if it’s a Turbo.

Chiseled Face Bay Rum soap and Arctic Freeze aftershave.

Unaccustomed as I am, I purchased a new razor.

It's the RasoiGoodfellas Syntesi Velvet:

There's more info on it HERE if you're interested.

I've just had my first shave with it, as below:

---

SOTD

Cream: Cella Rapid (26)
Razor: Syntesi Velvet (1)
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (4)
ASL: Caffè Latte [home brew]

A good shave.

My first shave with the Syntesi was good but not mind blowing. I obviously need some practice with this one. So, I'll give it my usual seven consecutive shaves trial (and see what I think after that ).


Happy shaves guys.

DISPROPORTION SHAVE

Three Days Whiskers


MUSIC: Beethoven's 5th & 9th Symphonies, Karajan, Berliner Philharmoniker


PRE-SHAVE:

- Hot Shower

BOWL: Costa Nova Fine Stoneware (PT)

SOAP: Mitchell's Wool Fat Tallow (GB) -

This very hard soap is no match for this MRed brush who eats it like there's no tomorrow.

BRUSH: MRed Loupe D'Amboine Manchurian 39 mm (FR) -

This is my biggest brush with a huge 39 mm knot surrounded by a large stainless steel ring.The loft has 60 mm height. The overall lenght is 138 mm. And it weights approximately 250 gr. So one could do weight-lifting with it.
The Manchurian Knot is superb. Densely populated it displays a very strong backbone, but it is surprisingly soft on the tips. Amazingly it is very generous, hogging few Lather.
The Loup D'amboine wood, Amboyna in English, comes from the Pterocarpus Indicus tree. It is a highly prized decorative wood. MRed utilized it to make this fabulous handle.
The Brush produced an astronomical quantity of quality creamy Lather.

SR: Gillette Tuckaway (US) -

This Travel Safety Razor of Old didn't get shy with its gigantic partner brush and did a great job.

BLADE: Astra Superior Platinum (RU) (2)

POST-SHAVE:

- 444 Alum-Block (PT)

- Floïd The Genuine Aftershave (IT)

- Floïd Aftershave Balm Citrus Spectre (IT)

THE SHAVE:

An outstanding unforgettable 10/10. Three passes plus some pick-ups on Neck.

Brush	Paladin El Dorado
Bowl	Captains Choice Copper
Razor	U.K. Gillette Aristocrat
Blade	Personna Medical Prep
Aftershave	Thayers WH & Duke Cannon ASB
Fragrance	Beverly Hills Polo Club
Rating	10/10
Comments	This was the fourth and final shave with the U.K. Aristocrat and Personna Medical Prep blade. The shave was smooth but I had to do some touch-ups to get a BBS shave. Today’s brush, a Paladin El Dorado, did its usual great job of making a nice, rich lather. The TFS soap was on its 36th use. The shave was perfect. Have a great day and week, folks.
