Soap • Stirling Nag Champa
Brush • Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo Red Marble
Razor • Claymore Evolution
Blade • Feather Pro (2)
Post • Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla



That did the trick.
The Feather blade was a little too keen on it's first use, and has smoothed out now.
I find Proline blades to be the same too.

The soap was a gift from Iain, @Digimonkey
I really like the scent - reminds me of West London corner shops in the 70's.
Those were the days - 4 chewy sweets for a penny!

I have the old Art of Shaving Sandalwood which I use as the standard, Ethos Sándalo, Grooming Dept Sandalwood Nobile, PAA Supreme Sandalwood Science, and Fine Santal Absolut. Now I have lifelong sinus issues but I would list all of those above as warm, smooth, creamy, slightly rich and sweet. ABC Redwood Sandalwood has a deeper musk and spicy aroma and a little more on the earthy side. I like it and I have it as the third Sandalwood on my list with AOS Sandalwood and Etbos Sándalo Artistico as the top two.

My OCtober Shave today consisted of...
Brush Yaqi Aqua synthetic.
Soap Imperial Rum.
Razor Muhle R41 The Shark version.
Blade Jaws (1).
Aftershave Imperial Rum.

I have been wanting to try the Jaws Blade ever since I saw @chard52142 using them.
I searched everywhere and they simply do not exist outside of his house it seems.
They are mythical like the golden fleece.
The Shark pretty much gave me a perfect one pass shave but I went for a second pass just because I was enjoying my shave so much.
I would not say it’s smoother than a Nacet but I really can't say much because of the razor being quite blade forward and it could be why it didn't feel as smooth cutting, I will pop it into my BlackBird and Stinger before forming a full opinion.
It did give me a bbs finish so I am super pleased.
Enjoy your night everyone.
