28/12/2019 Pre: Pears Transparent Original Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Soap: Proraso Red Razor: Valet VC3 (GB) Blade: Feather FHS - 10 (2) Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, Homemade Witch Hazel Balm: Barts Balm Lime Balm & Lotion Aftershave: CK Be The blade seems to be holding up and again i have a DFS+ finish from 3 easy passes. This Valet is a very easy razor to use and seems to be very forgiving. 2 days to go with the Proraso and then i will start using my other soap's again (cannot wait). Feeling and smelling good. Have a great day All.

29/12/2019 Pre: Pears Transparent Original Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia Soap: Proraso Red Razor: Valet VC3 (GB) Blade: Feather FHS - 10 (3) Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, Homemade Witch Hazel Balm: Superdrug AS Balm Aftershave: Old Spice Original 3rd outing for the Feather FHS-10, it has most definitely lost its smoothness and i can understand shavers with a heavier hair growth would struggle with it. I could definitely feel it on my more stubborn whiskers. I completed 3 passes then some buffing & touch up. I have ended up with a socially Acceptable finish, it looks OK to the eye, however, there is a light roughness to my more stubborn areas, i suppose in the 40's and 50's it would be more than adequate. I was expecting some indications from the block, alas, Nothing. A good dollop of the Superdrug balm and a splash of Old Spice to finish. I am not sure if i will go again with the blade? 3 shaves is OK for now. I may get the file out once the pack of 10 blades have gone to remove the outer pins then try a de-spined GEM in there as the razor itself is a very smooth shaver which i have enjoyed using. So a SAS finish, feeling comfortable and smelling Good. I am out tonight and may need another Pass with a newer razor for that, i will see how it goes. I am ready for a nice Sunday walk and my visit with the Mothership. Have a Great day All.

SE Sunday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Cella Crema Da Barba Jayaruh #199 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher Vintage Gem Damaskeene CWR Cella Balsamo Dopobarba My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Cella Crema Da Barba face lathered well with Jayaruh #199 Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher razor with a Vingage Gem Damaskeene SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Cella Balsamo Dopobarba. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

You have a point there @culcruech. It will take me about a year to use up the blades anyway. I can always buy another pack. Good advice that helped me make my mind up. Cheers T I will keep it as is,
