Post  ||  Witch Hazel

A/S  || Sir Henry's Black Velvet

My first time using a shavette--the Feather AC with a Feather standard blade (no guard)--was traumatic. Blood like at a homicide. I cut my face just putting the blade to my skin. 

When I recovered I tried again. Now I enjoy the Feather a lot. Usually with the ProGuard Kai blade. But sometimes with a ProLine without the guard. 

So if you're still willing, give it another go. But see if your barber has a Feather you can borrow. And try a blade with a guard. The shavettes that use half a DE blade or similar are not easy to get used to. 

By the way, after shaving with a Feather, using a regular straight razor is a breeze.

Wonderful shave with the Med Prep which clears the whiskers with fewer strokes due to the wide swath it cuts. The Hibernia on 1st use was a pleasure to use. Nice medium scent strength which allows you to enjoy the scent without it over powering and being a distraction. Easy to load and not shy of water. It yields a great lather that is creamy and slick. This is a winner for me. 25th day of SEptember and just 5 more SE shaves to go. Clearly I will run out of days in the month before I run out of Vintage SE razors. This has been such a fun month I am considering selling my prized Vector SB and OC Razor...........time will tell. Have a great weekend everyone !!
