Saturday 22nd
Zenith 506U TS
Haslinger Honig
GEM/Ever Ready Push Button
GEM SSC #2
Rinse > Alum > Rinse
Electrif's Bay Rum
Gillette Pro 3in1 Balm

The Haslinger soap was birthday gift along with the Zenith brush. I didn't care much for the plastic container it came with. Too small to get an efficient movement of the brush, so I pressed it into one of my larger pots. The honey scent is obscenely good, the soap lathers by just looking at it and it has the super slickness I like.

Shave well!!!

Valobra Stick
24mm Plissoft knot in Vulfix 404 handle
ATT SE1 / Schick Proline (3)
Organic Aloe Vera Gel
Dunhill Edition EDT

Proline blade worked better in my SE1 than in the RazoRock Hawk, with a result similar to using a Feather Pro blade.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Brush: stirling Finest Badger Fan
Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable 'F3 - 1985' w/ Polsilver SI (1)
Soap: Stirling Soaps Mountain Man
Post: Thayers Rose, Aloe Vera Gel & Al Rehab Silver

My first shave with the Super Adjustable and my first with a Gillette adjustable snce my Slim a few years ago. I found this much more efficient and comfortable, maybe because of the longer handle? My first experience with a long handled razor. Played it safe with blade choice and plucked for a blade I know well, a Polsilver SI. I didn't want my first experience to be a Shark that I am unsure of.

The pre-shave made a return after a day off yesterday, the soap was superb as one can expect and a little fragrance will be added later when I go out running a few errands. Lovely start to the weekend.​

Thank you Paul. Luckily my wife didn't mind me using her bowl as a prop.

Glyce Soap Musgo Real
Semogue 1305
EUFROS Premium Vetiver de Haiti
Wilkinson "Sticky"
Permasharp Super
Thayers Rose Petal
ASL Williams Aqua Velva
​

The smoothest shave I've ever had since I started this adventure of wet shaving! The "Sticky" is really a smooth operator hehe The Permasharp blade is very sharp but coupled with the "Sticky" I was able to get a DFS with zero irritation or cuts. I found that the optimal angle of the "sticky" was a bit more acute/closed than my other razors, but once I got it the shave went smoooooooth as a hot knife through butter...

I want to take this chance to thank @Dreamer and the TSR forum for giving me this opportunity of enjoying this gem from another era, as I bought this razor from @Dreamer through the BST section of our forum. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Passable shave no cuts.

Another Cold Water SOTD for me:

Cold Splash, TRSC Scrub, Phoenix & Beau Baskerville, Cadman 26mm Silvertip, Cold Rinse, Alum, Old Spice

I really like how the cold water influences the scent profile of the soap. It allowed the sweeter frankincense notes to dominate whereas they normally sit in the background.

Saturday 22nd April 2017
Prep: Shower
Razor: Unnamed French
Blade: Kampfe Bros. Star
Brush: Vulfix 404 / L'Occitane Plisson Knot
Soap: Vitos Extra Super
Aftershave: Astral Cream (soft)
Aftershave: Val Cleef & Arpels Tsar

I have been away for the last couple of weeks in Fuerteventura getting a bit of sun, during that time I shaved daily with either the R41 (2013) or a Fatip Piccolo, the first time for years I have shaved daily with DE razors; whilst I had some wonderfully close shaves I managed to cut a prominent mole on my face on day two and aggravated it by re-opening the nick every damned morning! This morning was the first shave I did not, no doubt because of the gentler, skin friendlier hollow ground blade.

Regards
Dick.

PAA Bakelite Slant with a vintage Wilkinson. Once I figured out the somewhat awkward shallow angle to adopt on the head shave this worked out pretty well, though touch up with the Shake Sharp still smoothed things out considerably. Beard was a beautiful no drama BBS.

ES pre shave
Merkur 42c/ Astra(2)
SV 2.0
LA Shave Soap Co Woody Lavender (sub: SV Stella Alpina)
Alum
L'Occitane Cade a/s balm.

Debuted the Woody Lavender, which was a kind PIF from MPH,...so disappointed, I didn't get on with it.
No matter what I did I couldn't get a lather to last,..add more soap, whip it up, paint on, within a minute the lather had almost disappeared., 3 re-lathers before one pass completed.
Lathered up the SV and away we went. The Italian thoroughbred kicked the ass of the American muscle car.
Good shave, but there was quite a bit of burn due, I would imagine to the lack of protection during the first pass.
Have to try again with that one before considering a PIF.:-(
The Cade balm calmed a lively alum rub down followed by a body splash of Guerlain pour Homme......Good save!
