Soap Stirling Boat Drinks
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mojito 2 Band Badger
Razor Thiers Issard 69 Frameback
Aftershave Stirling Iced Pineapple
An excellent combination of tropical drinks resulting in a great lather with intoxicating scents!
Today's shave with this frameback refreshed on a La Lune with water did not pass the tree topping nor hanging hair test well, but the shave itself was surprisingly good. Could be better I guess. Managed 3 passes for a ccs-sas finish...

Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Red Imp 132
Super nice lather & scent from the soap & matching balm...awesome soft brush!
It is nice to experience a different variety of razor's edges and this razor with the diamond balsa provided a crisp, soft, and comfortable shave. 3passes for a dfs-ccs finish...

That soap sounds really good based on the notes! How do you like it? Also - I’ve never used a Ladas blade - is it more on the sharp or smooth side?

Thank you. I like this soap. The scent is very nice and it lathers really well for me. I have fairly hard water, so that's a pro. I find the Ladas blades more on the smooth than sharp side. I like them and they're under $10. per hundred.

How is the new Supply Injector model? I have the older V2 with all three heads. O, O O and O O O.

It is one of the mildest razors out there - even compared to the model you have with the mild head. I like it for my oldest son as he learns the shaving technique on his own - I usually limit using it to when I need to do a speed shave and get out of the house. The Supply Pro with the adjuster has a little bit more diversity in shaving - when you can add some aggressiveness. I prefer smoother shaves - but the new Supply is along the lines of a Rockwell 6C/S on plate 1 as far as shaving.
