Shave of the day Saturday 19th August-Friday 25th August 2017

[Blackmass]

Nice set up.
I am on the look out for a clog pruf.
If they are any where as good as the 1912 I would be over the moon.

Question. Is your delicate disposition purely from head banging Rob?

Hi Wayne,
I've only used both razors in question a couple of times but the Clog Pruf is pretty special. If I see one in good condition it's a definite buy for me.

As for my 'delicate status'. It's a combination of excessive drinking and excessive nodding.

If they are special in your view then that is good enough for me mate.

Get well soon.

If you can get your hands on one Wayne do so, Nuff Said

A celebration shave tonight still top of the league and no I'm not a Utd fan lol.
I just can't love this soap any more than I do, I only have one other soap that gets more love and that is my spitfire. Only going on the soaps I have atm I know there are many better soaps out there.
Have a great sunday

I am looking but they all seem to be over the pond ATM. I think patience is going to have to be my virtue here.
Excited by the prospect though.

If you see one even in the USA as long as they ship using the Global Shipping Program at least you know it's all paid up front so don't write off the US. I will keep a look out for you and let you know if something comes along at a decent price including shipping. P.

Sotd - Saturday - 19/8 -

Razor - Schick
Blade - twin injector (1)
Brush - Vie Long Anniversary 2 band
Soap - Tabac
Post - Witch hazel
A/S - Tabac
Balm - Weleda
Scent - Dior Eau Sauvage.

Result - oh man what a shave. Hours later, I'm still rubbing my face in pleasure. First use of the vintage Schick - a fantastic razor for me. I'm not sure which model it is - looking at pictures - I think it is most likely to be an L type. Short black ribbed handle and a chrome head. I'd be happy to be corrected on this if anybody knows better. Quite light in the hand but what an efficient razor. The angle was intuitive for me. No learning curve. I don't know whether it is an incredibly good razor on its own or the twin blades made the difference? I hadn't used either before today. Mild but incredibly smooth and comfortable in use. Tabac soap - yes - I'm addicted to both the scent and performance. I will need to use it once a week otherwise I will be jangling - walking on balloons man. (good luck with that reference if you are not Glaswegian) So - operation use brushes not made by Maseto. The Vie Long is a class act - the best two band I own by far, cloud soft tips and all the backbone you might expect. The bulb knot is a work of art. It's a beautiful thing. If you got the chance to buy one you are as fortunate as I was. I think they are sold out now. Gifts and Care were the only supplier - if I remember correctly. A splash of Tabac aftershave and some Weleda balm. @Wayne Pritchard - Just to save the dragons you understand? I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a shave that much - and with a new razor. Enjoy your shaves gentlemen - yours - I.

Oh - can you still get new-stock twin injector blades?

Thursday's shave.......

Prep: Hot shower and L'Oréal face wash
Razor: Micromatic Clog Pruf (on loan)
Razor blade: GEM Personna
Brush: Maseto 24mm Silvertip
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery
Cream: TOBS Eton College
Post: Thayers witch hazel and Fine Italian Citrus

Second use of the Clog Pruf on loan from @Boru62.

I'm extremely impressed with this razor. Great to handle and very smooth. After the third pass I was amazed how close the finish was.
I did have an issue with my stubble regrowth being uncomfortable the first time I used it. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

The TOBS Eton College preformed really well. Great scent and slickness. Unfortunately I did have a little irritation from it.
The Maseto Silvertip performed brilliantly again too.

Finished off with the Italian Citrus and next to no feedback again. The scent is still lingering a couple of hours later. The face feel is lovely from this stuff.

Off to see (The mighty) Electric Wizard tomorrow night in Nottingham. This is where I got my username from...


In Doom we trust.:devil::

Cheers
Rob

Edit: I thought this belated SOTD was worth posting as it was the second shave with the Clog Pruf very kindly loaned to me by Kevin. No issues with uncomfortable stubble regrowth this time.

Current status: delicate... after seen 'The Wizard' last night.

A Schick with twin injector blades is fantastic, some of the best shaves I have had have been using these. I have a few injectors but only tried twins in a schick adjustable.

Only place I know to get new twin blades is from Japan, you can get them on eBay but they are not cheap. One of the best deals I have seen is:

Looks like you found a wonderful razor there Iain. Another vintage that has now made me intrigued.
When does it all stop.

Dragons blood is precious to us both, you know that.

Congratulations on a great setup but I think your grand daughter needs the credit here.
You must be an extremely proud Grand father for having such a talented young lady.
Well done...
