Have a Great Day
Feather SS (folding version)
KAI 'Mild' blade
Durance brush
Speick stick
Alt-Innsbruck after shave cologne
Second shave with the SS, simple two pass shave and shockingly ultra-clean. Two points to note as well, though: (a) the blade effective length, heel to toe, is shorter that your average conventional straight; (b) there is something with the weight balance of this new SS that feels completely different, therefore and at least for me, the adjusting learning curve was a bit longer than switching from conventional straight shaving to the 'old' Feather AC RG.
The KAI blades feel all right and slightly more aggressive than the Feather 'Light' ones. For $11/pack of 20 one cannot complain. Overall one will certainly miss the feeling and complete ritual of conventional straight shaving, however the Feather SS is a very handy straight shave option that enables one to enjoy straight shaving with fuss-free maintenance and effortless ultra-smooth results.

Locale: Die Startseite von Rasierern Music: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory Prep: Hot Shower / Virgin Oil Rub Razor: 4/8 challenge razor works "Challenge" Strop: Star Chestnut Big Daddy 25/100 Brush: Custom Silvertip Post: Ali Baliyki Alum Uber: RazoRock XXX Cream Soap / Godrej AS: Lucky Tiger AF EdC: Black Leather Result: Very lazy Sunday morning shave. I worked this little guy over the PHIG and the paddles. I love the RR XXX mixed with the Godrej. It really makes a great Uber. Lucky Tiger leaves your face so clean and soft. If I get anywhere near BBS, this is the stuff I want afterwards. No touchups were required after 2 passes. It's going to be a great day if this is any indication.

Razor – Iwasaki Tamahagane
Brush – Vintage EveryReady
Soap – Coconut Island bar
AST- Alum Bloc
EDT – Vierges et Toreros
Good morning; second attempt posting..
The Iwasaki’s are pure art to me. You have to get the edge dialed in on these kamisori’s. It can be very tricky. The EDT I have listed is nice but you have to be careful and not put on too much.
