Very nice shave overall. I've been very impressed with this ASCO I blade. Going to use it again tomorrow in the same razor

  • Razor: Lord 1822L
  • Blade: ASCO Platinum (4)

This is the Lord razor also called the L6, not the one with a Tech style head (which I prefer). This razor was still able to give me a close shave but it was not that comfortable to me. I even got a single nick which I haven't had in quite a while.

The blade is still going strong on shave 4, Proraso is Proraso and the G5C knot is excellent.

Tatara are doing 15% off on their website for Father's Day until tomorrow with the code Fathersday15.

I was considering buying their adjustable but I just can't justify the cost, even with the discount.

  • Lather: Nivea Sensitive Pro Liquid Cream
  • Brush: Razorock Big Bruce 26mm
  • Razor: Gillette Tech
  • Blade: ASCO Platinum (3)

Another great shave with this blade and it matches quite well with this razor for me.

This shaving cream is also good. It produces copious amounts of lather and is slick enough. It is a bit of an unusual format for a shaving cream, being in a liquid form and coming in a bottle with a pump. It also takes plenty of water which perhaps wouldn't be expected with it being a thinner consistency to begin with.
