Post:
Cold water face & head wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face & Head Rinse./Alum Rub. / Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. /Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel ASL. / L'0REAL Soothing Birch Sap PSB./Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel EdT.
A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.
After the comfortable close shaved i had with the efficient Muhle R41 in my previous weeks shaves i've decided to experiment pairing the Yaqi mellon top cap with the R41 bottom plate + hefty Schmidt R10 handle which combined together wonderfully making a superb efficient Frankenrazor. The yaqi Mellon cap makes the R41 semi-open comb base plate feel noticeably smoother than the Muhle top cap.
After the shave my skin felt BBS with no irritation, nicks or cuts, and the alum rub was minimal over all areas of my ugly mug.
It's been a while since i last used The G F. Trumper Violet shaving cream and forgot how much i really like it's unique scent only a small amount is needed to create a excellent lather for the full shave leaving a superb post shave feel.
I know from pass experience with the Shark SS i get 2-3 max acceptable shaves after that I bin them. They have a good balance of smoothness& sharpness which for me is a great combo...As always YMMV, opinions are very subjective.
Another close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel EdT to the pulse points.
My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Excellent shave. I have finally found a razor for my collection of Kai Blades!. The slightly larger blade exposure makes them the DE equivalent of a Feather Pro Super! Just need to check the longevity to determine whether they are worth the extra cost.
No prizes for guessing how I will spend the day. The Guinness is chilled ..........just hope I am still sober for the last match!

Razor: Atelier DURDAN La Faulx
Blade: Feather Pro, 6th use
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: House Of Mammoth Indigo Croap
Balm: Liz Earle Aftershave Balm Balm
Fragrance: William Hunt Oud De Parfum Eau de Toilette
I wanted to try another blade and gave a standard Feather Pro in it, and the difference was noticeable. It’s not like previous members on the passaround hadn’t warned me! It was a lot less smooth than with the super pro, but more or less as efficient. I’m not sure I’ve used a razor that seems to be so blade dependent! It was still a great shave but not as enjoyable as the previous ones. It’s a really great razor, extremely well made and the finish is superb but today has convinced me I’d need the medium plate as it just requires a little more work than I like from my SE’s.
On a separate note this is my first use of a House of Mammoth soap and it certainly didn’t disappoint, my thanks again to @Mike Smart for the generous samples sent. The scent actually improved on lathering and it lathered up a treat and with ease. It has reignited the soap hoarder in me, (I’m not sure it really ever left!) and definitely helped open my mind and pushed some of my favourites away from solely citrus based scents!

The 1805 is a ringer for Issey Miyake L' Eau d'issey but with lavender and a clove note in the dry down. Surprisingly it has brilliant longevity, despite both being marketed as a "cologne" and being very citrus forward. Great stuff!
Have a good weekend everyone!
