SOTD : Saturday 8th - Friday 14th December 2018.

Fri 14th Dec.

Simpsons Chubby1 / Maggards 2 band
Fitjar Havn cream - sample
Supply SE. V1 / V2 No 3 Plate
Personna S/S [ 3 ]
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

I have now had 3 Excellent Shaves with my hybrid Supply SE since loading it with a Personna blade. All Three Shaves have been trouble free and with ease I have attained an ultra close all close finish each time.

Changing blades has really transformed what for me was a mediocre Razor, into one that rivals the quality of Shave delivered by an E2 /PAL Injecto Matic. I could now easily pick up this razor when a trouble free Special Occasion Shave is required.

Pre-shave:- Warm rinse, Nivea Sensitive Face Wash then Proraso Red Pre Shave cream
Brush:- Executive Shaving Company Medium Jock Synthetic
Soap/Cream:- Geo Trumpers Spanish Leather cream
Razor/Blade:- Rockwell 6C 'R3' / Lada Super Stainless (2)
Post-shave:- Thayers Cucumber / Nivea 2 Phase / Barts Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine

Not posted in a few weeks as I've been smashed at work. I've mostly been sticking to The Shaving Shop Hedonisme Pursuit of Happiness soap and aftershave combination. That along with my Rockwell 6c and Gillette Green blade combination is as near to perfect for me as I've come in the world of DE shaving. I can honestly say every shave has been great and near on BBS every time.

Tonight I mixed things up slightly. I followed my usual prep but changed to Geo Trumpers Spanish Leather cream which was lovely. Nice scent and really good slickness. This was my 2nd outing with the Lada Super Stainless blade which is ok, it's given me a nice BBS finish, but isn't as smooth as my preferred Gillette Green blades. It reminds me of a Feather blade - super sharp but just a tad too aggressive for my liking. Don't get me wrong, it's given me a great shave but I just didn't find it as comfortable.

3 passes without incident.

A good post shave finish topped off with Barts Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine. Sublime. I know that Santa is brining me Barts box sets and I'm honestly can't wait to try them out!

Glad to be back!

Hope you all have a great weekend! [emoji1303]

WSP Spring Rain
YaqI Chianti 24mm Synthetic
Ikon 102/ Ikon Special Edition Handle
Myrsol Lemon
Cacharelle Pour Homme EdT

Citrus shave in defiance of the current cold weather.
The soap was easily coaxed into producing a thick creamy lather, and performed flawlessly. Post Shave feel is quite good too.
Myrsol Lemon AS matched the soaps lemony scent pretty well.
Finished with a few sprays of Cacharelle EdT
