SOTD: 10/12/2022

Razor: Hone 15
Blade: Pol Silver Super Iridium, 1st use
Brush: Shedeleven Spalted Scottish Hawthorn AP Shave Co G5C 26mm Fan
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: HC&C Unscented Puck
Balm: L’Oréal All In 1 Moisturising Cream Balm
Additional Care: Osma Laboratoires Alum Block
Fragrance: Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Toilette

Day two with the HC&C and yet another winning scent finally a Tom Ford Black Orchid dupe that does it justice! 3 drops of oil was probably too much but regardless the base is fantastic as is the scent. I don’t think there’s any in my pack I wouldn’t want to use regularly and get more off!
The Hone is a delight and I’ve given up wanting a decent steel version, why bother when this shaves so well?
Enjoy the weekend guys.

The Kai fitted in the Feather is a great match, I know the Kai have been measured @ 0.02-0.03mm wider than other blades, now then, i am not sure if it is all in my head but i actually think they up the anti on all my milder razors.
That was a great 2 pass shave, BBS and comfortable.
A nice post shave routine with a couple of added drops of plain argan oil to guard against the change in the weather.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

SOTD 10-Dec
20221210_105552-01.jpeg
Brush: Blackland Signature
Soap: Sea Spice Lime
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: GSB
Post: Sea Spice Lime AS

Late post, early shave. Nice kick off to the weekend, decent lather with a lovely scent with the efficient blackbird to take down a couple of days growth. Very smooth finish with zero irritation.

I had to give this one a run out as I very nearly picked up the lite baseplate and thought I'd try to exhibit at least a little self control. So glad I did, I really don't need the lite plate, this one does the trick and I don't feel like I need to take it down a notch...phew at last I looked before a leapt!

Hope everyone is having a grand weekend!

Cheers

Marc
