Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm and BdF Esclusivo:
Today's shave was a bit later, than usual, first had to pick up the razor at a postal point. When everything was complete I made a nice lather with the Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm and BdF Esclusivo. I don't need to praise this anymore, as those who read my Sotd's more often know that I am very fond of TFS soaps.
Blade and razor:
Used the Derby Extra Super Stainless for the 5th time.
The Derby Extra Super Stainless went on for the 5th x and then disappeared into the savings jar. The blade is over the top, but still performed acceptably through the razor I estimate. Fine smooth namely without touching up. My arsenal of razors expanded with a Homelikeshaving TAIGA AISI 316L (satin). In this the Derby Extra Super Stainless was once again pushed to a good performance, but my experience and skin feeling tells me, that the blade is finished, which is usually the case after 5x. Yet it was not so bad, because although I used the razor for the first time, it was immediately clear that this is a nice piece of technique. The skull on 2.5 and the face on 4 and restless smooth. This thing shaves well although I can only really judge it after a few blades. However, the first encounter invites to more. I must say that I immediately felt where Hans K.'s struggle with the balance comes from. Objectively, the balance point lies just below the adjusting ring. At first glance, the shank is a bit flimsy for the head. It does not bother me when shaving, but a slightly longer and heavier handle will feel better for hands like coal shovels. Again it does not bother me and the result with the weighty head without pressure on the skin is sublime. Need to experience some more, but this razor definitely plays in my major league for a high score!
Result: BBS.
Finally: Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Kneipp Lotion Lavender and Loris E-048 Cool Water on it and now just waiting for the next outgrowth.
