Veterans Day Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap
Oscar11 Synthetic
GEM-LP
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS

Day 11 of 3D Printed Razor Month.

The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap lathered well with the Oscar11 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM-LP Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Pre - Shower
Brush - Zenith 506 Copper 28mm
Soap - 1912 Classic 24
Razor - Unmentionable
Blade - Unmentionable
Post - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm - Barts Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine Balm & Lotion
A/S - Vintage Ferd. Mülhens Vintage 4711 EDC

The Blade was doing fine on its 4th outing, although it was more vocal during the shave, towards the end of the shave i could feel the tell tale prickle of a blade going off.
I cannot complain about the result, BBS and so comfortable from 3 passes, the blade has been banked.
This little razor has me thinking about what i really "want" from a razor? Go figure.

Today remembering,

My Grandfather James,


My Uncle Douglas


and my Uncle Les


Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Pre       -    Pears Transparent Original Cold water Face wash
Brush   -    Simpson Commodore X1
Soap    -    HWF #1 Patchouli & Cedarwood
Razor   -    ATT X1
Blade   -    Feather PB (1)
Post     -    Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm    -    Barts Balm Cinnamon & Patchouli Balm & Lotion
A/S      -    Signature soap Danum

As i took delivery of the X1 SE slant yesterday, it was up today for its maiden run.
OK then, on opening the box i thought what the hell is that, its one ugly looking razor, its real heavy with the weight to the head, think Hawk V3 without the looks. Anyway, looking at the head i noticed the blade locators on the cap are quite shallow and the recesses for them on the plate are open ended, yip, there is some play there with out the blade. When i fitted the blade i was mindful to keep the head and plate together while i tightened it up. It all looks good. I still think the tolerances on this should be tighter.
It is different which is a good thing, i do like quirky.
The whole head has been machined to slant the blade without any torsion, the blade gap is perfect along the SB and the head sits on the handle like any other head - A "T" Shaped razor with the blade held at an Angle.
I know the Feather PB can be a little harsh and it has been said the X1 can be aggressive, i did not get any of that. A good amount of blade feel but not overly so, it is easy to use, the weight and cumbersome look disappears right from the off, i found "my" angle right away, 2 passes WTG and ATG with a little touch up on the whirlpool's.
So, does it shave, Hell yeah! Now that is a nice close shave.
I did get a little indication from the splash, however, i normally do on a fresh Pro-Blade.
This razor will get its chance like any other and i am looking forward to get to know this ugly brute better.

Stay safe and enjoy your day All
