Been messing around with some honing experiments on troublesome razors and wanted to give my face a break so last shave I used my Fili as that’s usually a nice vacation. It was almost but I’m not sure if it was the state of my face, not having used that blade in a while or maybe I really do have a bit of a reaction to Darkfall so I figured let’s eliminate some variables and find out about the soap, I’d been meaning to get to know this new Kismet blade a bit better and compare to AC so I’m going to stick to unscentedish soaps and one pass shavette shaves with quality blades for a bit. That’s almost a theme thingy, One’n’done’tober 11vember …something. But I’m not quite that organised and will start messing with it soon enough by seeing how Darkfall goes once I do a few of these then maybe digging out some paste edges to compare to the shavettes.
I like Kai AC blades. This was nice, been a while. Feels a bit sharper than the Kismet yet less stressful as this setup seems less pointy (even though the corners are muted on the Kismet) plus the extra weight lends stability. I guess AC is the wedge shavette and Weck the hollow.
Oh, and this inspired me to order the Canada Shaving Soap I’d been vaguely interested in for a while (as it’s rumoured to be comparable to MdC). So far I’d resisted as why would I use that much unscented? But it does have a place and maybe it’s SV-ish too, was really enjoying SV lately so here’s hoping. Looks promising anyhow: https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/canada-shaving-soap-review.614669/
