Yesterday after using the MdC Fougére just the once I had razor bumps all over my neck and even on my cheeks and this morning while face lathering it I instantly had stinging and tingling so clearly Fougére is no good for my skin which is a shame as I really liked the scent
Thought I’d go with safe bet, used Mike’s and had an excellent shave.

Leave the sample open for a month and the itching should go away. It worked for me in the pastView attachment 161753

My S.O.T.D today consisted of......
Prep Folk Soap Bay Rum hand soap.
Brush Goodfellas Smile Wild hog.
Soap Folk Soap Bay Rum.
Razor Blackland BrassBird.
Blade Willy's.
Aftershave Folk Soap Bay Rum.
Today's shave was with the Blackland BrassBird paired with a Willy's blade.
There will be no surprises that I got a superb two pass shave leaving me smoother than a babies bum.
The Folk Soap Bay Rum was another winner providing a lovely scented shave, rich creamy lather and finishing off a splash of the Aftershave to make my skin feel and smell delightful.
a solid 9.5/10 shave.
I will now leave you all to enjoy your day toodles.

The face in the lower right quadrant looks like a mashup modeled after Sir Paul’s combined visages circa 1968 and 1973(ish). If the mustache weren’t quite so beefy it’d be absolutely uncanny. And for that matter, the face upper left looks very much like John.Tedalus Velocity One | Gillette Rubie | Bruji 28mm | Pantarei Fresco di Sicilia

I have to admit this is not the sharpest edge i have put on a Straight razor, saying that, it was comfortable and doing its job, i also found it seemed to struggle a little on my heavier chin whiskers, it did feel very safe throughout the shave allowing me to use a little pressure on those heavier areas.
I completed my 2 pass shave routine without issue for a DFS+ finish.
I had a very nice post shave routine although i did get some indication from the splash.
Enjoy your day all.

GOAT vs. GC84
Super Sunday Comparison SOTD
🪒
Razorock GOAT with Astra Stainless.
Razorock GC84 with Astra Stainless.
Alpha Retro Amber G4 brush.
Stirling Nag Champa soap and splash.
Arko Nem coconut cream.
It was a bit more of an even shave today between the two Razorock razors.
Surprisingly, I found the GC84 smoother on every pass, not that the GOAT isn't smooth. However, even on a three pass shave, I went over the area shaved with the GC84 side afterwards with the GOAT and found it picked up some stubble. Proving to me at least that the GOAT is more efficient than the GC84.
Both are excellent razors and provide a superb shave.
I'm super smooth and feeling good.
Next vs. shave will be coming up in a week while I wait for some more purchases from Italian Barber. Watch this space!
Happy Shaving

Well, Edwin Jagger safety bar heads are very likely inspired by Merkur razors (likely 34C), so there's no wonder you can see some resemblance.
