This morning i gathered the remaining soap into the middle of the pot making a small mound to make the pick up easier.
I have to say the "Lite" plate is my favourite for the Vector, so smooth, comfortable and still very efficient.
Enjoy your day all.

The Dark Lord of Wet Shaving
Monday morning 14/09/26
  • Lambda Ares V1 Ti satinado.
  • Feather 1
  • Oumo Pigsy2 25/57
  • Murphy and McNeil Gael Loach
  • Varon Dandy
  • Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food
I found the tiny Ares V1 (the V2 is larger) to be an absolute marvel. After reading everything I could find online about its performance, I had expected something very aggressive, but that wasn't the case.

You certainly feel the blade more than with the V2—naturally, since the latter has neutral exposure—but the blade feel struck me as very well-balanced, providing constant feedback on how it’s cutting. It’s fun to use, demands just the right amount of attention—the kind I usually enjoy (it’s not a "killer" razor)—and I found its size and weight delightful.

Take care

💐

Monday, September Fourteenth's Shave Of The Day was good...

Omega whipped up VITOS red in a Copper Captain's Choice bowl
1959 #195 Fatboy loaded with Shark Super Chrome did 1 buffing WTG(5) & a check to see if touch-ups had to be done
splashed the beardless area with Stirling's Bay Lime ASP

lefty was feeling decent & we decided to see if it could do a full buffing... it did a good job & no touch-ups were needed... our left side is the balance side & the left hand was uncoordinated before the disability showed up... we're smoof & sniffing good...

Have a Good Start Of The Week & Good SOTDs ATGSers...
