I’m not a huge fan of this blade, but I continue to see if it will smooth out.

- Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm
- Razor: Greencult GC 2.0, plate II
- Blade: The Gentleman’s Super Platinum (DE blade, made in India)
- Lather: E&S Rasage - Shaman
- Post-Shave: OAM - oli del benessere sensitive skin toner; moisturiser
- Passes & Info: 1-pass + cleanup on both head and face around a short moustache & soul patch. Just one tiny blood spot on the chin, but the blade felt rough in general.
Today was a day where I actually shaved again. Despite the uneven moustache growth atm, I was so fed up by the full goatee that I just cut it off earlier today. I look a bit weird with both the 'stache and the patch being rather short, but I hope it’ll grow out soon. I was kinda itching to shave my chin again, both figuratively and literally.
Today’s blade is a mysterious case: I genuinely don’t know where I got this pack of 7 blades (“5+2”, as the ad on the cardboard box says) from. I know I got some “Willy’s” which are made in India from a Pearl Razor, but this one was strange. It definitely was a freebie, since I never ordered these blades. And probably with good reason: the shave wasn’t abysmal by any means, but the blade felt pretty rough on my face. On my head, it’s less of a problem since the hair there is softer. But I already felt that it wasn’t the best on the back of my head, where some coarse hairs reside. And once it got to the steel wool of my face, it was not very smooth.
However, it also didn’t help that my lather was a bit too dry today and that I had some issues with shaking hands after my first home workout in months. So I will probably need to test it again. But if the first impression isn’t the greatest, it usually isn’t improving much with me. Maybe it’s better in a different razor, who knows…
