SOTD: Saturday 22nd - Friday 28th December 2018.

Boxing Day shave.

Razor: EJ DE89
Blade: Astra
Brush: RazoRock Bruce
Cream: Executive Shaving Natural Shaving Cream
Post-shave care: Thayers Rose Petal, Proraso green balm and Palmer's Cocoa Butter

Ahh that feeling when you have an awesome shave - it can't be beat. You know it is good when you just get that slight tingle from rubbing the alum block over your face.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate; Happy Holidays to those who do not. I hope everyone had a wonderful time with their friends and family.

Wed 26th Dec-Boxing Day

RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
Cyril Salters Solid Soap
ATT SE1
Schick Proline [ 8 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

A bit hectic today as Family staying over, SWMBO scurrying around - Bathrooms cleaned , beds made and a roast on the go. The Shave was nice and easy ,as I find that the ATT SE1 delivers me trouble free quality Shaves every time. I cannot understand how folk cannot Shave with AC/SE without having problems. I personally find them to be much easier to use than a DE.

First use of this soap and first impression is, it's not bad.
The scent is a very nice, light, herbaceous, green fougere.
For a vegetarian soap it's very thirsty and I'll perhaps need to dial this in to bring out its best.
As it is, like a lot of vegetarian soaps, it's lacking in slickness and wanting in post shave feel.
The balm on the other hand is top notch straight off the bat. It looks a bit oily but is quickly absorbed leaving the skin moisturised and nourished, very impressed indeed.
Happy Shaving one and all.
 
Boxing Day shave:

  • Gillette Tech (1950's British) head & Kanzy Victory handle
  • Polsilver (2)
  • Vulfix 404 with a synthetic head
  • Geo F Trumper almond cream
  • Palmers Cocoa Butter
Further to exploring the Tech homages along with @Bogeyman & @zygalski - mixed up the Tech head with the Kanzy handle. I've always struggled with the handle of the 1950's ball end that I own. The Kanzy handle is well balanced and a good weight. Today's shave was a treat. Having said that. the Tech + a Polsiver blade is always a winning combo for me. Not been beaten for a close shave with zero irritation.
 
Boxing Day Shave

Ach Brito Lavanda Cream
YaqI Chianti 24mm Synthetic
Merkur 34C HD
Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow (2)
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla ASL

What a cream !
Having tried a sample, from @Rohleder a few months ago, It has been on my wishlist since.
My step-daughter gave me a tube of it for Christmas - much to my delight!
It seems to have an anesthetic effect on me, almost couldn't feel the blade on my skin.

Back to work tomorrow :(
