Shave; I’ve been really looking forward to this beauty arriving and trying her out. Well I’ve not been disappointed, 1 already know one shave in it is smoother than my S/S La Faulx and feels more efficient? I also find this difference between my Alpha Spirit Bronze & S/S razors. The weight at 72gm for the Bronze/Padauk vs 107gm Stainless Steel may also play a factor?
All in all a very pleasant shave with the new razor and the handle, wow I’ve never felt more attached to “any” razor like I did with this?
Finished off with more SV in my favourite scent profile. Looking forward to many more.
 
SOTN (last night’s shave):

Razor: Yintal stainless Henson clone
Blade: Nacet (3)
Brush: Yaqi
Soap: SV 70th
Splash & Balm: Thayer’s & Aqua Di Gio
Very nice shave overall. One pass WTG plus touchups. Not super efficient but enough for a CCS which is fine by me. I prefer the one or two pass shaves that are CCS to DFS over BBS with any irritation or issues. This method seems to work well for me.

Razor: RazoRock Hawk v3
Blade: Feather Professional(2)
Brush: Grizzly Bay Doomsday
Soap and AS: Stirling Blood on Steel 2019 TSD 30DC LE, AKA Tsuka

Yesterday's shave with the hawk v1 left me feeling like it was overly mild to the point of inefficient. It probably would have been more sure to a Feather Super blade. Today's shave with the v3 didn't have the same issue. Still a mild shave but just enough feedback from the blade to let you know it was working. Two passes and done touch up brought the baby home !

Happy shaving
