Omega 11126
Speick Active
Schick Type N1
Schick Proline [ 8 ]
Tuff Red A/S Lotion

I followed up yesterdays Shave with another Type N, this time it was the N1 fitted with a single Proline Blade rather than a Schick Twin. The same as yesterday it was obvious from the the quality of the finished Shave, the blade was past its best, though it was smooth and comfortable enough.

Personally I like these long handled Razors, as I find that they are particularly good when working on the upper lip and chin. I may well fit the N1 with a Twin blade and use it while away for a couple of days, rather than the " O" Clone I was planning to use.

Preshave: Hot water rinse + bloom water
Razor: Fatip Grande
Blade: Gillette Nacet (2)
Brush: Razorock 400 Aluminium Synthetic
Shave Soap: Tabac
Aftershave Balm: Nivea Revitaliser 2in1 ASB
Aftershave: Woodspice Amber

More considered razor control led to a smoother shave, the slick Tabac lather helping the razor to skate freely over my face. One minor weeper under the nose, which soon dried. Close examination of the razor revealed slight blade misalignment for which this razor has something of a reputation. I must simply have been lucky in the past, or unlucky today.

Either way, I'm near BBS and refreshed.

Regards,
Chris

Razor: Charcoal Goods Lvl 2 SB | Florian Cross
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (3)
Brush: Dogwood | Declaration 'B5'
Soap: River Valley Trading 'Frosty Bay Rum'​

I made a trade with Mohamed to obtain this and four other soaps. This is my first go with his soap base and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it performed. The lather buildup was super easy while slowly adding water, it's not an overly thirsty soap but appears to be able to handle a good amount of water (experiementation setup for a later shave). This soap is extremely slick with great residual slickness. The lather was thick for a vegan soap and I found my CG razor struggling to get through it to the bare skin (awesome). The soap is very protective and the post-shave is good; my face feels nice and soft, there is no irritation. These soaps are very cheap but there is a challenge for Mohamed in getting them shipped overseas (I'm in Italy and it took almost 3 months for them to arrive after being stuck in customs for over a month). If Mohamad gets logistics figured out or finds a Stateside vendor to carry them I would highly recommend them. Another note, this soap has a very nice bay rum (spicy), clove, and cinnamon scent with added menthol; the face feel from the menthol was very nice, not too cold. However, my neck had a nice red ring on it where the soap had made contact; my face experienced no burning nor did my neck for that matter but it was red so I will reluctantly have to move it on. I look forward to trying out the other soaps as I am very pleased with the performance.
