SOTD : Saturday 20th June - Friday 26th June 2020

Tuesday 23rd June SOTD

Cream - Palmolive Classic Cream
Brush - YaqI Chianti 24mm Synthetic
Razor - Timeless 0.68 SS Scalloped
Blade - Gillette Platinum (2)
Post - Alcolado Glacial

Palmolive Classic Cream, while not a bad performer, it's not as good as the Palmolive soap stick. It's not as creamy, and for me it doesn't provide the same level of protection.
That said, the post shave feel is really quite good.
Finished with Alcolado Glacial - the coldest thing I have in the cabinet at present.

The Grosvenor [ 404-mixed ]
Williams Mug Soap
Schick "O" Clone
Schick Twin - Japan [ 11 ]
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

This Razor may well be a Clone, but fitted with a Twin Blade delivers a very laid back smooth and comfortable Shave. The Quality of all round finish is rather good too. The Twin blade ramps up the performance of this Razor and many of the later Schicks. Rather a Shame that the current price of them has increased dramatically since I last brought them, as it would be nice for other Injector users to try them out and get the best out of their Razors.

A Wonderful Vintage Williams Wednesday.
I had a pretty good face lather today, although i did reload for the last pass just to make sure.
The injector blades work a treat for me in the MM's and i had a BBS finish from 3 passes.
The Clog Pruf doing the business in comfort.
A nice Post shave routine to finish off.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Update:
@Satanfriendly & @Boycie83 the Mongoose sold pretty darn quickly when i put it on BST.

A slightly cautious shave this morning. I haven't used the Hawk for some time, and I wasn't sure if the blade in it was still sharp. Well, yes it was still sharp...very, and I received a first class shave with it. For me, shaving with the Hawk or ATT Calypso SE1 gives a shaving result similar to that of the Feather AC SS, but with considerably less risk.

Wed 24 SOTD
Soap Rasozero Agrumella
Brush Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia
Razor RR Game Changer.84 SB
Blade Tatra Platinum 5th
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice
Nice soap with nice lemony scent. Lather is quite good. Face lathering with this excellent brush created a creamy and slick cushion.
Shave with GC.84 paired with blade was buttery smooth. Sharpish and comfortable. 3+1 multiple passes with no issues. BBS to DFS with 9.5/10 rating. Can't beat the Gillette RFB for efficiency...but, GC.84 able to clamped on the blade more rigidly making a more comfortable shave...
