The B8 with the higher loft works better than the stubby B21 with veg Tabac, but I'm still not getting the kind of sopping wet slickness I used to get from the tallow Tabac. The dialling in continues.
I finally finished my initial pack of German made Van Der Hagen safety razors and instead of just buying another pack of one kind I got a huge multipack of many brands. Going to start with a 5 pack of Egyptian made Shark Super Stainless Blades tomorrow. The Van Der Hagens have been pretty great, long lasting (its taken me months to go through a 5 pack), and easy to use, and are easy to find in the midwest.It'll be interesting to see how they compare. #safetyrazor#shaving#saferyrazorbladereview
#saferyrazorbladereview#shaving#safetyrazor review 2 - Shark Super Stainless blades, made in Egypt, aren't bad, but they are much thinner. They fit in my Van Der Hagens handle, but I think with the extra gap required more inner rinsing of the blade and handle (2-4 instead of 1-2 like the Van Der Hagens), but using their handle would likely work better. The thinness also resulted in faster degradation, by the end of week one side was pretty bumpy. Overall a much cheaper but still usable build.
#safetyrazorbladereview #3 Astra Superior Platinum, made in India. These were the thickest blade so far and held up pretty well. I needed a similar rinse cycle as the VanDerHagens, but they lasted about a week and half. Downside of the thicker blades is they were a bit harder to do detailing around the nose. Like Shark, simple cardboard packaging. Overall not bad, probably really nice for those with thicker beard hair. #safetyrazor#shaving

Two of my hobbies collided today when the newest episode of Geschichten aus der Geschichte @GeschichteFM about the history of the Eau de Cologne popped up.
Now I know that 4711 is not actually the original eau de cologne.
