I had a pretty good shave overall with the TNNSER 3D today. However the top cap is a little loose on this one and it slid back a little bit leaving the corners of the Blaine slightly exposed. Thos resulted in a few scratches on my lower neck. I may have to shim this one until I get a new one printed. Luckily they aren't irritating and my shirt collar covers them. I'm really liking the Clubman Pinaud lilac vegetal aftershave lotion.

Face wash with Whickams pre shave soap
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Famillia 24mm
Soap: Signature Soap Eboracum
Razor: Unmentionable Vintage SE / Rocnel SE-P 316
Blade: Perma sharp Half blade (2)
Post shave: Cold water splash, Homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Floïd Balm
Aftershave: Floïd SE Mentolado Vigaroso

A change to the planned shave this morning.
I received a "Shave ready" unmentionable yesterday and thought i would give it a whirl this morning.
The Sig. Soap Eboracum and the little Yaqi brush worked fantastically well to provide a lovely covering from a face lather, loads left in the brush after 3 passes.
I completed 2 full passes WTG practicing with both hands using the unmentionable, the 1st pass cleared quite a bit - so that's what shave ready feels like - the razor was singing but so smooth, i did struggle going over and under my chin and also the chin cleft.
The second pass pretty much cleaned up. No Nicks cuts or burn. Spot on.
A check after the rinse off and i completed an ATG pass with the Rocnel mainly to finish my chin and devils whirlpools on the neck under my ears.
A lovely post shave routine and i am refreshed and ready for the day ahead.

Doing a fruit salad Breakfast for Mrs TC to start her day. She is starting to get about a bit more, hopefully the Ankle will knit together quickly.
Stay Safe and enjoy your day all.

Face wash with Whickams pre shave soap
Brush: Simpson Commodore X1
Soap: Signature Soap Leodis
Razor: Vintage Unmentionable SE / Valet VB3
Blade: Feather FHS-10 (4)
Post shave: Cold water splash, Homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Barts Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: CK One


Another training shave today,
A face lather straight from the Sample tub with the little Simpson Commodore, this little brush seems to pick up and hold the soap easily, I really like the Leodis floral scent, it is the soap that moved me to try more of the Signature soaps and also other manufacturers floral descriptions.
I had a lovely slick covering in no time at all.
1st pass WTG using the Vintage unmentionable SE, using both hands completing the full pass, still a bit awkward over the chin to neck area & LH side but i managed OK, after a rinse off and check i was pretty smooth.
I Lathered up again - easily enough for 3 passes in this little fella and used the Valet VB3 fitted with a Feather FHS-10, this would be its 4th outing, i completed a XTG/ATG mix, buffing the stubborn areas as i went. This blade is done now.
A final rinse and check left me with a DFS+ result which i am happy with, i have decided not to chase BBS while going through these training shaves, they are to try to get my muscle memory clicking into place with the Unmentionable.
A nice post shave routine leaving me feeling quite chuffed with myself, smelling good and setting me up for the day ahead.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
