Lovely SOTD & not a single complaint on any of the products, apart from I'm running out of the BBA balm

SOTD


Shave of the day pays homage to my recient trip to London
and the fantastic time I had visiting these four shops saying
that all of the kit used was supplied to me from my very own
shaving shop Mecca The Getlemans Groom Room in Dundee
As you can see mix match of items

Pre Shave: Hot Shower + L'Oreal Birch Sap Face Wash and Proraso white
Razor: iKon 103
Blade: Timor (#2)
Brush: Razorock 400
Cream: The Traditional Shaving Company - Leodis
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel
AS: Nivea Soothing Balm.

2nd shave with the Timor blade, this shave and the last with an iKon 101 have given nice smooth and close shaves, a very nice blade but also very expensive. I can't see me buying any more of these blades, not when much cheaper and as good or if not even better blades are available, such as an Astra SP.

Another a enjoyable shave this evening vitos may not be up there with the very best but it certainly is an excellent soap and has plenty slickness. Feeling fresh and smelling great !

Evening shave.

BBA Face Wash, BBA Shave Oil.
Lea Classic Soap (New Formula).
Maseto 30mm Finest.
Little Wren Pottery.
Gillette Fatboy.
Astra SP (1).
Proraso Green Aftershave.
BBA Post Shave Balm.

Another inexpensive Spanish soap/cream (many thanks @Digimonkey) and another very good lather. It took me a while to get the consistency right - it's one of those soaps that require me to start the lathering process as 'dry' as possible - but I was rewarded with a creamy, cushioning lather. As with the La Toja, the slickness was only adequate. But the shave was very comfortable, and that's always my first requirement. Three enjoyable passes for a BBS shave. Have a good evening chaps.

I love the scent of Lea Classic, and the splash leaves the skin feeling good.

Nice isn't it Kevin? It's probably how I imagined a shaving soap to smell before I started traditional wet shaving.

I like some of the traditional mossy and woody scents.

Two days growth easily eliminated in a calm manner tonight.
I loaded the brush with a very generous amount of soap and face lathered, producing lots of creamy lather, much more than I needed for three passes but it was fun! This soap is slicker than a Texas puddle, it's not easy to find fault with it.
Baby smooth finish was easily achieved with very little effort.
I'm clean shaven and smelling like I'm ready for a night on the town. . .

"Slicker than a Texas puddle" very good. p.
