SOTD: Saturday 24 - 30 September 2022.

Sunday 25th September

Soap • Noble Otter Monoi De Tahiti
Brush • Simpson Trafalgar T3
Razor • Timeless Bronze 0.38
Blade • PolSilver (1)
Post • Noble Otter Monoi De Tahiti Splash

Soap and splash are a pleasure to use. The splash turns milky when shaken, which I guess livens it up? It's scent lingers strongly for hours too.
I hadn't used my Bronze Timeless for a long time. It was like meeting an old friend - safe and dependable.
I polished it with Brasso wadding prior to using it, to bring it up to 'lile new' appearance.
Something as shiny as this deserves better than 'patina' imo.



Enjoy what's left of the weekend everyone

A hoe type razor Dave? Looks very like the garden rake I used to sweep up leaves today! Respect, that blade looks pretty mean baby to me! :oops:
 
Picked up a mid thirties Schick injector, honey bakerlite handle, mottled gilt finish, swing lever to allow cleaning after use. It needed a clean to get of ancient grime and verdigris and it came with a pretty rusty blade still in situ so probably not used for many a year. Popped in a new Schick blade, applied super smooth creamy Proraso Sandlewood with a no name bristle and achieved a great two pass finish; no drama. Still amazes me that these old razors still deliver a great result, as Schick designers of the day intended and after being dormant and unloved for so many years.
Have a great week fellas!

Superdrug Coconut Oil with Argan oil
Stirling Autumn Glory
Supply SE (face)
Leaf Razor (head)
UKWSS Group buy brush handle with AP Shave Co 26mm G5C knot
Nivea Pro Sensitive Ultra Calming balm
Captain's Choice Obsidian bowl

First time using the Supply SE, bit more of a learning curve on account of the different cutting angle than I'd thought, but looks promising - not likely to replace my go to de's but definitely a place in the rotation I think. Forgot how good this Stirling set smells though .

Brush: 24mm Yaqi Chianti Tuxedo
Razor: 1958 Gillette TV Special Super Speed
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Post: TDS Rose Notes ASL, Baxter's Balm

Today I turn 50 :oops: and I kept back the last sliver of the TDS Rose Notes soap for this occasion. It's easily the best soap I've bought since I started this pastime. The matching ASL remains, but the Extro Cosmesi Barroco will now have to step up and assume the mantle of favourite soap in the locker.

A great lather from the soap but unfortunately the scent is long gone from the tub.
Good shave with the razor and blade combination. Managed a quick 3passes for a dfs finish...
