The play (a community theatre thing, me in charge of SFX and music) is over, finally, so now I get to shave in the evening again.
SOTN Tuesday
rasor - RazoRock Hawk
blade - KAI Captain Titan Mild (17)
soap - TOBS Mr. Taylors
brush - Simpson Special 1
post - warm water rinse, "Pure & Natural" Alum stick, cold water rinse
AS - Brut
music - streaming North Sea Surf Radio
I gotta say, shaving during daylight hours seems unnatural to me.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Simpson Somerset Chubby 3 Extra Super (Manchurian) (30/62)
Harrods by Floris shaving soap (tallow)
Wolfman WR1-SB Mirror-Polished 0.80/WRH1
Gillette Platinum 'Swede' (9)
Col. Conk Almond aftershave balm
A great shave. The old brush has less backbone than my Rooney Finests but enough to make lathering of the soap quite easy. The razor probably would be too aggressive for me with just about any other blade, but with the Swede it was excellent.

In any case, my R41 spoke to me this morning. I switched the Bulldog handle for a Barber Pole handle, and the rest is history! Great two pass BBS on my face and a DFS for the noggin scrape with a minor weeper on the back of my head. Very pleased with the shave and the razor. I feel clean, smooth and refreshed, and ready for a great day!

SOTN Friday
razor - Edwin Jagger DE87
blade - QShave Titanium (1)
soap - Williams Mug
brush - Stirling 2-Band Synthetic
post - warm water rinse, "Pure & Natural" Alum stick, cold water rinse
AS - Pinaud Clubman
music - streaming Gem Radio New Wave
.
Results: Terrific. Very close and no irritation.
The last time I tried a QShave blade (from the same pack that came with the Futur clone) my first shave with it was great too. Possibly the best ever, compared to any other blade. The second shave was okay, but after the third or fourth shave I had to toss it because it was too rough.
Usually I can manage 20-30 shaves from a blade.
I'm curious to see if I can do any better with this second QShave blade.
