Pre - Droyt's Classic Glycerose Soap
Brush - Erasmic AP Shave Co Gelousy Bulb 20mm
Soap - 1912 Classic 24
Razor - ATT X1 Slant
Blade - Schick Proline PB 30
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Tonyschin's Lemon - Lime - Grapefruit E45 / Argan oil Balm
A/S - Body Shop Arber EDT

The Excellent X1 fitted with the super smooth Proline was brilliant today. A crackin razor/blade combo. These 1912 soaps also give a fantastic, very clean lather (no scummy residue), they give great protection and slickness.
Enjoy your day all.

I wouldn’t use this razor when trying out new soaps as it just too punchy: plenty of blade feel and easy to cut myself. However, with Mike’s protecting me I’ve a great smooth close and comfortable shave.

What type of plastic is the razor made of PETG or PLA ? Given its length and thickness, is it rigid enough to prevent blade chatter?

The razor was gifted by Roger Quintero from the US. I believe it's printed from PLA and, yes it's rigid enough as the blade is held quite firmly.

Thanks for the reply. I have two 3D GEM razors "Triceratops" by SlimGEM. One is printed in PLA, the other in PETG, and the PLA one isn't rigid enough (precisely because of the difference in plastic).

Pre shave: Hot shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor: 1960 Gillette 195 Adjustable (7)
Blade: Feather (5)
Brush: Yaqi Sigrada Familia 24mm synthetic
Bowl: Captains Choice copper
Soap: Noble Otter Orbit
Post shave: Noble Otter Orbit aftershave splash

This soap arrived yesterday and I had already planned to use it for Fatboy Friday, but it seems even more apt given the incredible Artemis II Launch this past Monday.

A fantastic, soothingly smooth shave today.

This soap continues Noble Otters trend for soaps with incredible hydration, glide and a silky feeling slick protective lather.
Taking plenty of water.

The scent is strong but not overbearing, fresh, light, floral fruity, sweet and woody.

The scent itself is incredibly well balanced, with the Rose, bergamot, vetever, sandalwood, atlas cederwood and eucalyptus all detectable seemingly in equal measure.
It's a great spring/summer scent, bolstered by what comes next.
The synthetic coolant isn't your typical menthol cool, it's a pronounced frosty sensation which starts off subtle, and builds throughout the shave.

The splash continues with the excellent scent, and kicks the frost up to 11.
Leaving you feeling like you've stepped out with damp skin into the frigid chill of deep winter, and it persists.
As of writing this, I'm a good couple of hours post shave, and the chill is still with me, even the slightest breeze or waft of air enhancing the effect.
It's the perfect soap and splash for those uncomfortably hot summer days and one which I'll definitely be revisiting once they descend.

Have a great shave and a great weekend!
