A very satisfying first shave with the Enoch. Smooth, efficient with very good balance and feel. The Feather Pro worked beautifully with the razor. A few more shaves will tell the story on consistently good shaves. I like it at first go. A great day to all and awesome shaves as well....

My vintage razor a day shaving exercise is rapidly drawing to a close. On this 29th day of Decadent December I selected a NOS LaResche 901 safety razor and had a bit of a rough go. The razor was made in the 1960s and marked the beginning of the end for LaResche safety razor production. The open comb had a few bent teeth requiring straightening, and just did not seem to even begin to approach the quality level of the 51 or their masterpiece, the 77. The razor had a relatively narrow sweet spot, and only seemed to perform decently when riding the cap. The result was an acceptable DFS with a few minor weepers that did not require the styptic. The alum block settled things down nicely. The Gillette Pure shave cream is a nice product and lathered up beautifully, and did it’s job well. I feel clean and refreshed, but not particularly smooth.

RAZOR: LaResche 901
BLADE: Suneko
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Charcoal-Menthol Cube Preshave Soap
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
POSTSHAVE: Cold water rinse followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Fine Lavender Pour Homme

Soap Lea Stick (Newer Formula)
Brush Zenith Synthetic
Razor Karve Brass SB C Plate
Blade SuperMax Blue Diamond Titanium (3)
Post Brut Sport Style Aftershave

Another perfectly smooth shave from the Karve/SuperMax combo.
I've shunned these blades for quite a while as I found them to be rough in some razors.
This is a pairing I will definitely re-visit in the future.
