Feather
Stirling 24 mm Synthetic
IB The Dead Sea Shave Soap
Nivea Cooling Balm
Pinaud Clubman After Shave

Dr Jon 2.0 cannot be denied. It lathered very easily and built into excellent lather with plenty of residual slickness. This is better than Crown King for me on first impression. The scent is less soapy when lathered... More musky with an underlying floral. I like it, but it does not blow me away in the scent department.
I went with B-M Reserve Spice and my face feels great.
Prep: Myrsol Emulsion
Soap: Dr. Jon's 13
Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
Razor: Futur on six

Option Five Razor
Feather
Romera Olive Wood Synthetic
MdC Fougere
Witch Hazel
Fine Lavender

Up for today’s shave is the maiden voyage of the Option Five Razor.  The razor is made of Nickel Alloy and is on the heavy side at 120 grams or 4.2 ounces.  It is looks very futuristic and is advertised to appeal to both men and women.  It is so very different from all my other razors, that I am surprised at how much I like the looks of the razor.   I loaded up a new Feather blade.  I found the blade to be very easy to load and the blade exposure even on both sides.  The handle appeared like it would be slippery with wet hands but this is not the case.  I had no issues with the handle slipping during use.  I did find myself gripping the razor in the waist section of the handle.  Going with a three pass shave, WTG, XTG & ATG followed by touch ups ended in my usual near BBS.  I found the razor to be mild, not as mild as a Merkur 34c, but efficient.  You can really hear the razor cut the whiskers especially on the XTG pass.  Even though it is the first shave, I am impressed with the Option 5 razor.  I will continue using the razor alternating it with the R1 Calypso over the next week or so.  I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
