    2023.09.22 SOTD:

    • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser & Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap

    • Brush: Paragon Shaving Plisson knot (28mm) with Paragon handle

    • Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy AL

    • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium Extra Stainless (5)

    • Lather: Chiseled Face Banana

    • Post Shave: Alum, Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Stirling Glacial Unscented aftershave balm, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry


    Got a CF Legacy in the mail yesterday from the Zaar, so of course I had to christen it with CF Banana. I’m very impressed with the razor. Probably should’ve used a fresh blade, but even still it was fantastic. I can see it turning into one of my favorites. Did a 3 pass shave with some cleanup which resulted in a DFS with no irritation (though I did stupidly nick a mole).

    As a bonus, I used SW Boonana frag. Just felt right.

      I love the Legacy. I’ve noticed not all blades work well in it, but most are very good. It took me a while to get the hang of that razor, but now it’s one of my top 2 or 3.

        That’s what everyone says! What’s your favorite blade for the razor? Need to give a fresh wizamet a try in it, but I’m going to throw a Perma-Sharp in it next.

          I used a new Aluminum CFL for AA, but I’m thinking of testing some different blades in it as well. The last SOTD Hardware Report lists these as the most used blades in the CFL for the month:
          Chiseled Face Legacy + Gillette Nacet
          Chiseled Face Legacy + Personna Lab Blue
          Chiseled Face Legacy + Wizamet
