Sanguine Shavette, VDH Boar, Cella, Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel
Couldn't wait til tomorrow to OPS check the new guy. Opted for a Friday night haircut. Despite the brand name, no blood was shed. In fact, this is hands down the best 1/2 DE Blade shavette I've ever handled. Fit and finish was good, blade retention was nice and tight and blade exposure was just right. Eight days from the UK, not bad.

An unusual Saturday evening shave for me. Tomorrow we're going to my aunt and I didn't want to wake up at the crack of dawn. A very nice and relaxing shave accompanied by the tunes of Duke Jordan - Flight to Denmark. Great piano stuff. Earlier this evening I made some tasty Surinam food with yardlong beans and shrimps, which was well received by the girls even though it was a tad bit spicy. Right now, I'm winding down with a Bintang beer from Indonesia. Have a nice evening gents!

This razor is the real deal fellas. I've seen Derby blades take a lot of bad hits but I don't find them harsh at all but just plain old aggressive. Shavettes also are not the subject of universal approval but if you are a shavette guy, I would definitely recommend this one over the Dovo. The Sanguine at less than half the price delivers twice the quality and ridiculously BBS shaves.
PS: Here's the soundtrack to today's shave. This kid is really good.
