Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
An adequate shave today. My Feather Artist Club razor arrived and I used it for the first time this morning. After reading some of comments about various blades, I got a pack of the KAI Captain Protouch blades (with the guard) to use with it. Not the greatest shave, but it's been ten years (or more) since I last used a straight. BBS results on my face, but still had some stubble left on my neck area. I also opted for a sink shave instead of my normal shower shave as I assumed (and rightly so) this shave session would take a little longer than with a DE. For lather I chose an old reliable in C.O. Bigelow. Nice slick and cushioning lather built with the Simpson "Polo" PL-10 Best Badger brush. Three passes and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Pinaud "Clubman" aftershave lotion and talc. Opted to go with the Floris "No.89" EdT again because I haven't used it in a long time and it's such a timeless fragrance.
Hope you have a great day.
