Afternoon Gents,
Last night’s final shave report with the Tradere OC pass around razor. Haven’t had the chance to type this up until now.
It was my first use of my birthday brush (raffle win) ICShaving brush with a 24mm Tuxedo knot. This brush resin is gorgeous, very, very nice. The knot itself is one of, if not the best synthetic knot I’ve used, but it needs a couple more used.
I used Wickham 1912 Irish Fern, a lovely, clean smelling soap. The brush whipped up a great face lather, but I actually think it might be better suited to bowl lathering. I don’t have many brushes I like to use with bowls and I have two lovely scuttles so it’s definitely one for me to explore.
On to the razor itself. It’s been an up and down few shaves with it, sometimes a bit of irritation and too much blade feel, but that was when I didn’t have much stubble. The times I had a few days to mow through I had a really good shave, last nights was the best, using a fresh Astra SP and a few days growth a fantastic two pass shave was achieved.
Thank you to @celar for the opportunity to use this lovely razor, unfortunately, it isn’t the unicorn razor that would justify the cost, but it was a great experience regardless. The razor was sent off to Nico earlier this morning and he has the tracking number!
