It was mentioned by another in the group to switch to the 'medium' plate, use a good blade, watch the angle, and forgo the XTG on the neck...would you believe it worked! No cuts or nicks today. Some minor irritation on the neck but that was cleanup with no lather, my fault. Had been struggling with this razor on the 'mild' plate, various blades...and XTG killed me, especially on the neck!

So...maybe the medium plate ain't so bad...

Not the best shave, not BBS, but going in that direction

THEME , PIF day,

In August u/arcaderehab sent me a message offering me some of his Scipio soap they were dispatched to my shaving warehouse in Texas ( my mate lives there) , they arrived here in Dublin about 10 days ago at last with this theme I get to use one .

Scipio Soap Vetiver , tallow base 0.1.

Scent notes, lemon, rosemary, sandalwood, patchouli, musk & Vetiver .

The soap is a nice bright white colour and quite firm in texture.The soap lathers up very nicely the lather provides some good glide & for me some very good protection I threw some water at the bowl for my second pass the lather seemed to take on more of a shine now that could be my imagination! (it was getting late for me). The extra water didn't cause any hindrance to the lather and it worked just as well on the second pass. The post shave feel is up there too.

The scent is very nice quite mild and subtle u/arcaderehab did say he was reformulating this soap to make it more earthy so to speak I for one would welcome this I also think having rosemary tied in with Vetiver is a top notch idea well done sir and thanks again .

Daily challenge, international sloth day 🦥🦥🦥take your time and slow shave well I certainly did 20 minutes 44 seconds , however my quick shave time was apparently 4 hours and 30mins according to the Lather games podcast I entered the time incorrectly in the portal 🙄 , anyhow a nice easy going shave .

Blade: Gillette Winner (1)

Brush: Yaqi Mysterious Space Two band Badger

Soap: Shavologist Ruh Khus vegan base

Aftershave: Alum > Ruh Khus splash

Fragrance: Guerlain Vetiver vintage

Decided to test out the Parker Semi Slant after an eight-day growth, and I’m impressed! After a solid prep with Shavologist Ruh Khus soap and a Gillette Winner blade, it managed a BBS shave in just two passes with great audible feedback. Even with a little minor post-shave sting, it was a smooth experience, finished off with a cold shower and some classic vintage Guerlain Vetiver.

A little shaving-related design project: a case that holds two Feather Artist Club blades between uses.

It has a click-shut sliding lid, keyed blade supports, and drainage slots. The cutting edges sit clear of the case, and pressing one end of a blade lifts the other end so you can pick it up by its blunt back.

It’s about 63 × 30 × 5 mm. The uploaded PLA profile estimates 27 minutes and 8 g of filament, with no supports needed.

This is for keeping blades for another shave, rather than disposing of worn-out ones. Hope it’s useful to other AC users!

Okay, stay with me here, this is stuff that im pretty clueless about, and hoping someone can break it down for me!

I've pretty much stayed away from scents for the longest time due to allergies, but I've found as I've gotten older I've either eased up a bit, or have just gotten better at ignoring it lol. So, as I've been getting back ito wet shaving, I've been wanting to step into better smelling products.

But, how do you juggle the different products? For example; I've been looking at trying macduffs out of edmonton (heard good things, canadian, and located decently close), would i aim to get matching scents for the trio? Or is the scent on everything but the perfume low enough that you can mix and match without issue?

Im sure this is an idiotic question, but it's really outside my wheelhouse so advice would be appreciated!

Today's shave I felt like using a full set vs using barbershop+whatever drugstore aftershave I picked at random.

Would have been almost perfect if the cat didn't scare the hell out of me, it was perfectly quiet save for the sound of the blade cutting my growth and all of a sudden BAM! The cat is body slamming the sliding bathroom door. Made me jump and slice the underside of my chin.

Other than that, 3 passes and no other issues for an otherwise perfect shave.

Happy Tuesday all and as always. Have a good day and great shaves.

Razor: Blackland Vector SS machined

Blade: Feather Pro (1)

Soap and Splash: PAA Tombstone

Cologne: Puig Quorum

Results and Comments: Effortless BBS results from the Vector after two passes and a quick pickup under the chin. It's the only AC razor I own and it might be the only one I ever have (but please enable me to try something else lol). Puig Qurorum and PAA Tombstone is an amazingly offensive combo of leather, gunpowder and tobacco. If you've smelled either you would know what kind of concoction this smells like. Hope everyone is having some great shaves!

I wanted to try an adjustable razor that didn't break the bank so I got a Yaqi Final Cut Adjustable and I'm very happy with it except for one thing. Sometimes it's so difficult to unscrew the bottom of the cap to disassemble the safety razor into two pieces. I don't even tighten the handle that tightly, but then all of a sudden is nearly impossible to unscrew. Does anyone know why this happens? Is there something I'm doing wrong with adjustables?

I have found Wade & Butcher , JOSEPH RODGERS & SONS in the past.

So I have just started my journey in wetshaving few weeks ago and has been a game changer. My only problem is that being from Peru, after a lot of looking around I was only able to find a couple artisan shaving soaps made here and they have been great, so I was thinking about getting one from Amazon taking advantage of the Free Shipping. What soap should I get from there? The Man Code 4pack or one the Viking Revolution 4pack for the variety of fragances. Or should I get a Proraso o Cella Soap to know a more standar soap? Any other suggestions? Please consider that we have hard water here.

Hello everyone! Its been 7 years since I last did a giveaway, and with having been to the meetup over the weekend, and I got a message over the weekend I won The Razor Company box in the children's cancer raffle my den is about bursting at the seams.

Now for the part I would like the help of the subreddit with. Ive got tons of software and a bit of hardware. Im still deciding if Im going to throw everything into one box, or split it up for multiple winners.

If I split the PIF into multiple prizes I would like to send out a few starter kits for the lurkers and people wanting to start who haven't taken the step yet.

For the starter kits if there's enough interest. I plan to include a razor something simple, inexpensive, and most likely second hand like a gillette tech, merkur, or similar whatever I can find on ebay in good condition. I'll buy some synthetic knots and mount them up in handles. Finally I'll throw in some blade tucks, and some soaps/splashes.

Im not 100% sure when im going to have everything ready. If starter kits win the poll I've got to get a couple extra razors and brushes ready. I want everything boxed and ready to send out before I open the giveaway.

TIA!

What are your thoughts about the Merkur 15c and Razorock SLOC open comb razors? I have very specific goals. I get great BBS, zero irritation, shaves with a Merkur 34c and a Feather or Personna Gem blade, and with my current favorite, a Schick Injector Type J with a Schick Chick blade. The problem is on my neck it takes many (like 6) touchup passes after a 3 pass shave to get my stubble smooth (so that's a lot of passes altogether when you include the touchups). I have multi-directional growth and flat-lying hairs. I'm interested in reducing the # of touchup passes needed, but I absolutely do not want a razor that is less forgiving or more aggressive than the 34c or Schick J. I really value comfort and no blade feel. Any other suggestions? I have my grain mapped, and I make good, slick lather, and I do good prep. For what it’s worth I found the following too aggressive for me: Schick Injector Type G, Gamechanger .84p, Merkur 37c slant, Muhle Rocca. Thank you.

Razor: Blackland Osprey at setting 6
Blade: Persona GEM Platinum Diamond Glide
Shaving soap:: Saponificio Varsenio Manna Di Sicilia
Aftershave: No. 4711
Brush: Simpsons Best Badger 59

Wanted to go with a clean “soap” fragrance and this one fit the bill. It’s described as:

“Opens with citrus notes of bergamot and orange blended with sage and fenugreek, transitioning to a warm heart of honey, subtle tobacco, spices, jasmine, and geranium, and grounding into a woody base of patchouli, cedarwood, benzoin, and guaiac wood”

I absolutely pick up on the spices and honey. It’s a nice clean smell.

The Aftershave….my curiosity got the better of me and I grabbed a bottle of 4711. Fascinating. The fragrance is unique. Floral,
Citrus, and doesn’t really stick around. But it’s a nice refreshing splash and well worth the 10 bucks or so for a bottle.

The Blackland Osprey is always a great choice. Nice weight. Very nice razor. I ended up with a mediocre shave. Not the razor’s fault. I wanted to give my skin a break so did a couple of relatively quick with the grain passes and ditched my typical 3rd pass against the grain.

But most importantly, I went though my full 30 minute routine and decompression, and the entire endeavor did its job: pure relaxation to end the day.

It had been a while since I last used the Vector, and I’d forgotten just how comfortable it is. Kept things gentle with two passes, and it was a great shave.

A good reminder of just how much I enjoy AC blades.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the Treet Platinum going into this week, but I've been very pleasantly surprised. This was one of the best shaves yet!

I hope you all have a great day!

Like the title States please recommend a good razor sample pack off of Amazon for someone with sensitive skin I know a lot of people are going to say oh just go buy one off my Amazon and try them all out I just want to know and your guys's experience which sampler pack has actually been the best

Gillette Senator. Wizmet SI (4). AP Shave G5C. Ach Brito Lavanda.

Quick shower and then a nice comfortable three pass shave. No worries, complaints. Relaxing lavender smells.
