SOTD: 04/05/2023

Razor: Shield Avenger
Blade: Kai Captain Mild Blue, 1st use
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Soap: HC&C/Pasteur’s Pharmacy Empire State Of Mind Puck
Balm: The Inkey List Vitamin B, C And E Moisturiser Balm
Fragrance: Dior Savage Elixir

Well if I thought the HC&C/Pasteur’s soap smelt good off the puck, it got even better when lathered. Easy to lather, thick, creamy and slick and the scent is one of the closed dupes I’ve ever tried. It’s strong, long lasting but not over powering. I’m genuinely surprised at how quietly under the radar the company seem to be, everything I’ve tried from them from their basic budget brand, to the standard soaps or scent your own has been amazing. It’s made me question my loyalty to some brands such as PAA, as the prices they charge for product and postage seem way out/above, compared to smaller vendors such as HC&C, which easily match and in some circumstances better their offerings. Anyway, so far this offering may even just edge out the MSC Bloom from yesterday, it’s that good.
The Shield seemed particularly good with the Titan Blue and it was probably just my shave of the week.
Enjoy your evening guys.

My first foray into Injectors:

Razor: PAL Adjustable Injector on 5
Blade: Personne 74 (1)

The first shave was pretty good. I have to get used to this razor and this injector blade. I have an almost endless supply of Personna 74 in the DE variation. The Personna 74 injector blade is stiffer and thicker. We'll see how the shaves go.
