The Fine slant was really nice once I got used to the fact that I was going to have to use what felt like a dangerous amount of pressure after having become accustomed to stainless steel. An efficient, smooth and irritation-free shave, though, so it seems like a keeper

kwsher , nice shave - is Bufflehead still in business? There is virtually nothing at their website, like nothing and they appear to be sold out at the only reseller I know of that lists them. I wouldn't mind trying them but if this is like trying to get Hallows or the latest retro Jordan shoe release, who needs the drama.

In pursuit of perfection

Razor: Gillette Tech Black Plastic Handle Razor (X4) 1952
Blade: Dorco ST 301 Platinum SK (7)
Brush: WDC-8 TGN Finest
Soap: Eufros Brisa de Oriente
A/S: Myrsol Aqua Balsamica
Bowl: 3D printed
Finished the week with this razor and blade. The razor may get used again, however, I wouldn't put any money on that. The Dorco ST 301 Platinum did it's job perfectly. So far this blade is my personal find of the year. I should also add that this 3D printer bowl work excellent. The wide month; funny my wife says that about me, or maybe wide isn't the word she uses makes it very easy to work the shave brush, along with the ridged bottom of the bowl whips up a great lather. I think I'll try and figure out a way of painting the bowl to add some color.

My shave of the day featuring the Seyguss Red (pass around)
A good shave but hard work as the Seyguss is a very mild razor. There will be full review of razor in a weeks time.
DFS soap excellent in every way with help from the Stirling Kong, & to finish of with Thayer's to condition skin, followed by the excellent Fine Platinum.
