Asylum Injector, Schick blade, Simpson 58
Proraso Red, Snake Bite, Bay Rum

I haven’t shaved since Saturday. And this was really a perfect shave. Just amazing. Smooth, comfortable, close. No nicks, redness, soreness, irritation of any kind. This 58 is my favorite of all my Simpson brushes. It’s ergonomically stellar for me, and it has without a doubt the absolute best Best grade knot I have ever experienced in a Simpson brush. Wow!

Have a great day Shavers

Tuesday 14th April
Aleppo soap - Shave pre wash
Stirling Syn 26mm
La Toja stick - grated
Occams Hiram Commander - 2dot plate
Feather Pro ( 4 )
La Toja A/S Lotion

Have varying Shave interval for some time now, and when every 3/4 days the finish is not consistently good.So am trying every other day to see how that works. The Sunday Shave was good, and today was really smooth with a lovely close finish.

The Dorco Titan #2 worked well again for me tonight. Hopefully, I'll get one more shave out of it. Anyway, a very easy no fuss shave. Super smooth.

Enjoy your evening...

Razor - Asylum, Injector & RR UFO handle

I’ve tried other handles with my Asylum Injector but always seem to come back to the original. How’s the balance with the RR handle?
