Tuesday 3rd

Soap - Wickham's 1912 Cashmere
Brush - Omega 10800 boar
Face lather
Razor - Schick E3 SE
Blade - Personna Injector #3
Post - Thayer's and Fine Platinum a/s

I was in two minds whether to shave today, after the "Streamline" had been so efficient yesterday. But, you know, when the urge takes over...

Anyway, lovely experience between razor, blade and soap. The Cashmere really is a smashing soap for a non-tallow. Definetely a keeper; and the the Schicks never fail to impress.

Be safe and well folks.

Stephen.

Two Pass Shaving Routine..:cool:

Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
Herder Solingen 5/8th Full Hollow (Freshly Honed)
French Fitchard Pure Badger
Haslinger Tallow Soap
Humphreys Witch Hazel

I Had a Cracking Shave Today with My Newly Acquired Freshly Honed Stainless Steel Herder Solingen 5/8th..It Took a Belter of an Edge on the Hone..I Love Vintage Stainless SRs..This is My 4th Vintage Stainless SR in My Collection & My 2nd Stainless Herder..:)

I Find them Easy to Hone & Exceptionally Comfortable on the Face..Anybody that Struggles to Hone these its their Honing Skills & Nothing to Do with Stainless Blades..They are Unmistakable on the Hone & Strop..Just a Different Feel is All..Its a Shame they Didn't Make More Stainless Vintage SRs..They are the Dogs Danglies..This is a Keeper for Sure..;)

I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..:D

Brush: Semogue Owners Club Badger
Razor: Hone Type 15
Soap: Stirling Soaps Autumn Glory
A/S: Stirling Soaps Autumn Glory balm and Marks and Spencer Collezione Classic

A soap I received off Santa, may be the wrong season for it but I am very impressed with it, scent and performance. Can't explain the scent except that I can't stop sniffing it. Having never tried M&S and their aftershaves, must say very impressed with this one. Lovely scent to it. ​

SOTD 3rd Jan.JPG​

Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Face Wash (present from my Daughter) and Proraso Red
Razor: Ikon 101 + OSS Handle
Blade: Merkur (#1)
Brush: Plisson Badger
Cream: L'Occitane Cade
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented
AS: none today

A mediocre shave today, my last shave was on the 1st Jan with the Razorock Hawk/Feather Pro Guard/Tabac, which was a fantastic shave. Today I used a Merkur blade for the first time, I am not that impressed, the results were a bit uneven, that said it was very smooth and despite the fact I had to go over some areas multiple times there was no irritation, just a lack of any decent cutting performance. I will try the Merkur blade in the X3 and the Fatip Piccolo, maybe the Merkur blade, the Ikon 101 and my face are just not a good combination.

These Merkur blades are not cheap so I am pleased that they came with the Merkur 45C I recently acquired, I will also try the blades in the 45C as well when I get around to it.

I don't like the Merkur blades, got a pack along with my first DE razor the 34c and they almost put me off DE shaving from the get go.
