August 22nd, 2025: cream

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Blade: Dorco SD507 Disposable (2)
  • Lather: The Body Shop - Maca Root & Aloe - Cream
  • Post Shave: RazoRock - Puros - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Kelp & Sea Mineral - Lotion

2 quick passes to clean up any overnight growth. I shaved last night but this disposable isn't the most efficient, so I think I'll switch back to morning shaves.

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Well, 22 days on this razor without stropping. Here is what the edge looks like now. It has lost a little keenness but has gained a little comfort so, on balance, the edge is still in excellent shape.
