Greetings,
A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.
For the next month I will be focusing on using my SE razors, Slant razors, and using a variety of Boar, Horse hair, and synthetic brushes and also be using my shave sticks occasionally with my set ups throughout the month and continue to use a variety of DE blades.
The Kent/MWF as always provided me with a wonderful protective slick lather for the shave leaving an excellent post shave feel...I've stated many times in my postings that I could easily shave with Kent/MWF shaving soap forever, but like everyone else I like variety with my shaves.
Another enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Sensitive ASB.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Gave Lothur another chance to prove me wrong. It didn't succeed. Although performances are good they for me are not top notch as some other artisans and I get constant tingling sensation like it's going to start burning any moment. I'll get through this tub and won't buy it anymore.

Pre - Shower
Brush - Alpha Outlaw Titanium V1 Synth
Soap - Signature Soap Valentia
Razor - ATT X1 Slant
Blade - Feather Pro Guard
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Macdui - Rosemary & Sandalwood
A/S - Signature Soap Valentia
Its a real shame that ATT are no more, they did produce a very good razor, the X1 slant is no exception. Fitted with the Guarded Feather, for me, it produces a very comfortable shave. A very slick, thick lather from the Signature soap and Alpha brush, built up as usual on the face. Plenty for the shave and more.
3 Passes for an easy BBS finish, a very nice post shave routine to round the shave off.
I did enjoy that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

This razor is a bit of an oddity, buttery smooth and mild, BBS close and efficient on areas of my neck I normally struggle with such as the soft sides of either side of my Adam’s apple, yet only getting DFS in others. Todays shave was much more effective than the last, breaking the golden rule by adding a little pressure helped as did using a shallower angle than most razor’s. I’m going to do a comparison shave against the new Shield AC1 tomorrow and then against the Excalibur the day after. But at this point I can confidently say to anyone that says it’s a Vector clone it’s not, it’s almost the polar opposite. Whether that’s a good or bad thing I’m still undecided.
