Preshave: Soap Bloom Water With A Hot Flannel
Soap: Southern Witchcrafts Autumn Ash Croap
Aftershave: Southern Witchcrafts Autumn Ash Aftershave

Not at work this week, I had Covid over the Easter holidays and work have kindly given me it back so I have this week not at work.

So for this week I can really take my time with my morning shaves instead of my usual daily drivers. Some underused soaps are getting explored a bit more. Today I used Southern Witchcrafts Autumn Ash. I adore this soap and it's balm, I should use it a lot more. It also passes the wife sniff test as well. Favourite razor was used today with my first try of a Gillette Nacet blade. I enjoyed it And may order 100.

The word on the streets is that as it's my birthday in September I will be getting a delivery of a new shaving bowl and a few more Southern Witchcrafts soaps and balms.

​
A top shave this morning, close and so comfortable. This was a shave loaded with high quality products and the results proved it. The Feather AS-D1 razor has since been superseded, but this one is capable of a superb mild and efficient shave.
 
A welcome to the week and a shave themed, 'Ame-no-Habakiri'

20220724_202911.jpg

Ame-no-Habakiri - DC Shaves (or something like it) something or other
Harpe - Feather Professional
Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi - Razorock 400
Asi - Arran Aromatics Machrie soap
Durendel - Machrie balm
'Did you just say Otoboke Beaver?'

So here we have it. Ame-no-Habakiri, the sword of the storm God. Por que? It appears to be some kind of even cheaper copy of the Yaqi Excalibur, which isn't too bad a razor. This one is. Bad that is. In fact utter shite.

Nice titanium handle though which is a far superior product. Well at least it is shiny.

And indeed it did bring a storm to my shaving time. It came along and pissed it down all over my sink party. As rough as my arse and as crude as my good self after a few pints. To be more exacting and more down the road of my best behaviour, a fucking crap shave.

Shame really as the soap (A rare Emporium purchase) was first class and as much as Boycie doesn't like the scent (a man of little good taste) I love it. The balm being a wonderful match. And well needed in this case.

All in all a garbage shave and just can't wait to get the Hawk back in to action in the morning. Beverley races tomorrow and looking dapper is compulsory.

Me?


So some Japanese storm bringing ladies and over to TsuShiMaMiRe to piss on your days

I really get on with this rather hefty Razor, which is so well balanced that the weight seems to disappear once in the hand and ready to Shave. With only one days growth to contend with, the Shave was very quick and without any problems a very close all round finish was attained, and no bits missed.

Monday:

Exactly the same set-up, fresh Nacet blade this morning, great shave and I can still smell everything, Razorock Blue Barbershop is such a nice one when the weather is hot.

Much to my chagrin, the hotel network is flying, meaning I've been able to crack out full days of work since my last post. As I'm feeling chipper, will be testing tomorrow and, touch wood :unsure: will test negative in the morning. Thus allowing me to roam freely! Not as bad as I originally thought.

I may get to see if there are any shaving supplies locally!!!!
