Growth: 2.5 day beard
Prep: Warm shower: Stirling Sheep bar soap
Pre: None
Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm premium boar knot with Maggard Razors sky blue 25mm handle
Lather: Van Der Hagen Select Shave Soap
Load Bowl: Old Spice Mug
Lather Bowl: Old Spice Mug
Razor: Feather AC Super Razor (SR) Folding
Blade: Kai Captain Titan ProTouch MG (D6)
Razor: Kai Captain Standard R-Type Folding Razor
Blade: Kai Captain Titan ProTouch MG (D6)
Third pass:
Razor: Schick 500 Injector Razor
Blade: Chinese Schick (D7+)
Post: alum, Stirling witch hazel, PAA Mysterium Serum
3 pass mustache and chin area, 2 pass neck, 1 pass elsewhere
It has been a year since I did a comparison of the Feather SR with the Kai Captain Standard and that was with the SR kamisori (not the SR folding). My lather has improved since then for this type of shave (have gone for a wetter, sloppier lather). I shaved on the right with the Feather and on the left with the Kai. I had two nicks from the Feather. Zero from the Kai. The Kai provided a closer shave and loaded the blade more easily. The Kai has better jimps. The SR has a nice anti-stick finish.
