Occams Enoch

Alcolado Glacial A/S splash

Needed a nice easy Shave today as out officiating all day. Today chose The Enoch which is good, but I sometimes get the cutting angle wrong especially around the neck. However, no problems today so I am quite pleased with the quality of the finished Shave.

20220608_164342.jpg
Brush: Captain 2 Manchurian
Soap: A&E The Novelist
Razor: Tedalus Essence
Blade: Schick Proline P-30
Post: A&E The Novelist AS

Very close shave this morning, went for a 3 pass run for the first time in a while with the Tedalus. I could have gone for 2 and a couple of touch ups but thought why not. Ended up with an exceptionally smooth finish.

Ready and raring for the day ahead (now I've recovered from the trauma of the party yesterday). Hope everyone has a cracking day!

Cheers

Marc

SOTD: 12/06/2022

Razor: Above The Tie G1
Blade: Gem Blade, 9th use
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Bowl: Captains Choice Copper Lather Bowl Standard Bowl
Preshave: Bart’s Balm Preshave Sample Oil
Soap: Acqua De Genova Wellbeing Soap Puck
Aftershave: Stirling Campania EDT
Balm: Bart's Balm BEN KILBRECK Balm
Additional Care: Osma Laboratoires Alum Block

The Acqua di Genova soap challenge was off to a pretty successful start, it’s a bit of an airy soap but a bit of a work and I got a good lather, it’s slicker than the airy lather made me imagine it would be and it has a lovely light scent. It’s a nice hard puck and has made me want to find more traditional style soaps that are hard like this too, not that I’m short of soaps or in danger of them running out!
Many thanks again to @Satanfriendly

A super smooth shave with the Karve E plate and GSB. The Signature soap provided excellent cushion and slick, and the Leodis splash gave a tasteful finish. I love this scent.

Another wonderful Sunday shave with the Vector, two passes and an easy, smooth result. The Yaqi Heavy Metal is tiny compared to yesterday’s PAA brush, but still holds its own producing plentiful lather with the magnificent Leodis soap. A great start to the day.

Didn't have time to post this yesterday as I going "out-out" and I'm out again tonight to see Bob Mould.
What a whirlwind of a weekend. I've had to book tomorrow off to recover (no joke).

 
Well last night's shave which if I don't get in quick enough will end up as my first next week. Blame wine, women and naff Jason Statham movies. So here it is and themed 'Next week's SOTD'

20220611_160547.jpg

A razor for all seasons - Occam's Enoch
A blade for any day you like - Schick Proline
A daft as a brush whenever you want - Wee Whiskey Barrel
Last night's soap which may well be used next week - Penhaligon's Bayolea
And a scent for which day you choose - Guerlain Homme


'On the web. Take a note, 90% discount at Boycie's shaving Emporium. What rocket?'

A fantastic return to the Enoch and I stick by my words. Get this one on song after losing a few finger tips, and it is a very hard act to beat. Despite it's quirky side and dodgy loading it always delivers close and comfortable shaves. It does have an aggressive slant to its nature, but nothing which can't be tamed. Brilliant stuff.

The Bayolea remains probably my favourite 'hard soap' and it is a shame Penhaligon's turned their backs on it. It simply ticks all the right boxes and a superb scent to go with it all. Delivered by the very competent and pleasurable Whiskey barrel brush bearing one of the best synthetic knots I have met to date.

End results were better than the Stratham movie and smelling totally divine by the time I left the bathroom and tucked in to a bottle of Spanish white. At least I got it all in the right order.

Hope your weekends are going well and have a wonderful week ahead.

Since @LeeMaz appears to being swayed towards the Japanese side of life and musical ladies, I return his kind complement with a Band Maid track for himself......

EJ 23mm STF2 - Meißner Lavender de Luxe - Supply V1(...)/Personna - Pour un Homme de Caron EDT

Over the past few weeks I have been using just the first thing which came to hand. I just couldn't be bothered with anything more structured. Coming up to retirement....my employer has delivered some challenging shift patterns as they don't have to worry about hanging on to me..The EJ DE89 served me well but I need to give myself a shake and be a little more focused so I used a different setup!

Today's shave was just lovely. 3 passes for an excellent result:)

A good, three-pass shave; took my time and prepped well, so the result was a BBS outcome. The blade helped, too. (I bought a tuck to try, now time to pick up more.) Enjoy your Sunday.

Brush; omega boar.

Back to 3 pass shave but with a light touch. Excellent BBS result. G F Trumpers kindly sent me free of charge 5 samples of thier AS's including Eucris( the James Bond scent) ; the wife thought i smelt like an old person. I need to find a scent that reflects my personality- clueless, lazy and boring. Hope you all have great and good Sunday

Great, head shave and a five day growth to remove. I feel so much more human. I'm sending one of my Slims to a fellow member for him to try before buying his own, so thought to use the other one myself. Classic for a reason really in my view. Faultess. Have a good week all - cheers - I.
