Soap • Stirling Nag Champa
Brush • APShaveCo/ 26mm Boss
Razor • Univinlions
Blade • Kai Protouch MG (6)
Post • Vintage Old Spice Aftershave (70's)



I swore I would never use this razor again, having in the past called it a hateful impliment (among other names!) But, having read how Brian @culcreuch has been giving his shavettes & AC razors a run out, I decided to try the Univinlions to see if I could somehow get through a shave without cutting myself to ribbons.

Well, I'm very pleased to say that I escaped with only two small weepers that were quelled with a cold water splash.

I'm far away from being confident with my use of this razor, but I have decided to give it another try again in a couple of days time to see if I have learned anything from today's effort?

Many thanks again to Iain @Digimonkey for gifting me this Stirling soap. It really is very good.

I'm off to the dentist for a check-up later this morning. Five minutes in the chair and £20 later . . . . .

Enjoy the weekend everyone

This Masamune head is right up my street, so smooth today, 2 passes for an easy, comfortable BBS. Still not sure about the longer Nodachi handle though, may ask if anyone wants a swap for the original standard handle, i will give it a run out with the Ikon Bulldog handle.
Another great lather from the Signature soap and AP4B, although i want to try the knot a little higher in the handle to reduce the backbone. I pulled the knot at the end of the shave and will set it with the spacer.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
