Yaqi 2 Band Finest
Gillette Rocket
Gillette Wilkinson Sword (1)
Dusy Klar Kabinett
Nivea 2 Phase & Hugo Boss Boss In Motion

Been a short while since I used this soap, inspired by @Blademonkey topping up his Klar, I decided to give it a run out. If you want something rose scented, look no further than this. Fantastic and great value.​

Pre: Shower, Bulldog face wash
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia Synthetic
Soap: Wickhams 1912 Classic 24 Sample
Razor: EJ Bulldog
Blade: Personna 'Lab Blue' (3)
Post: Cold water rinse and Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel
AS: Fine Platinum

Still carrying on with the cold water shaving for the time being. My face had recovered slightly from my over eager ness that other day. Todays shave went much better, a 3 pass WTG / ATG X 2 (face) and 1 pass WTG neck. Loving the classic 24 soap (made far too much lather today) and combined with the Fine Platinum AS - smelled lovely for my Nephews birthday party.
Have a great evening gents

Shave Of The Day 3/Jun/2018

  • Featuring the ΑΛΦΑ T400 Rubberset 400 Tribute brush
  • De Vergulde Hand Hard Soap
  • John Glueck 6/8” Custom Made Kamisori

A bit of a shame today I could not to a SOTD Video. The light in the bathroom was just too bad. I am on business in a hotel in India, Navi Mumbai (look it up.) - So instead I made some photos!. The razor from John Glueck was, as ever, superb. Stropped 25/25 linen/leather. The soap is one of my favourites - De Vergulde Hand. This soap is less than $2 USD a pot and it is superb - get some if you can. They have been making it the same for hundreds of years so they must have gotten something right eh?

The brush is all mine.

Woah dude. Brush looks epic! :eek:

Paradigm Titanium II (on loan)
Gillette Platinum (2)
Romera Manchurian

I'm writing this in the department lounge of Birmingham airport. I'm fleeing the country with the Paradigm. Just don't that @Acer89 chap.;):p

Joking aside. The razor is pretty close to perfection.

Have a good week gents.

Cheers

Sotd-3:6.jpg

Friday -

Razor - Schick I1
blade - Twin (3)
brush - Simpsons P8 Phyl best badger
soap - SV Tundra Artica
post - witch hazel
a/s - Myrsol Formula K
balm - Barts Peppermint lotion
scent - ADP Mirto di Panarea edt.

Sunday -

Razor - Schick I1
blade - Twin (4)
brush - Semogue 1305 boar
soap - Kent hard
post - witch hazel
a/s - Vitos Tobbaco
balm - Barts Peppermint lotion
scent - Dior Eau Sauvage edt.

Result - every day is a school day -

The Friday shave - I achieved the impossible - well - logically, you can't achieve the impossible - otherwise it wouldn't be impossible - the very improbable - that's better. I was shaving in a hurry to get out and I cut myself with the Schick. Nothing serious - cold water dealt with it but I mean - the only way hitherto I thought that you could damage yourself with this razor was to poke the handle in your eye. Lesson learned. I don't wear the ADP Panarea enough - its a beautiful scent for warm weather. The longevity and sillage are excellent. Ought to be - it costs enough. The picture above is a mix and match of the kit I used - I just wanted to show you the Simpsons P8 - lovely isn't she? Have a good week all - enjoy your shaves - regards - I.

A touch of the lavender

Prep ~ Norfolk Lavender Co Glycerin soap, Shower
Razor ~ Cobra Classic
Blade ~ Schick Proline P-30
Soap ~ OSP Lavender
Brush ~ Mervyn Cadman Bell Silvertip badger
Bowl ~ TSR Group Buy 2016
Post ~ Barts Lavender Aftershave Lotion
Scent ~ Caldey Island lavender edt

The Norfolk Lavender Co sell a wonderful Lavender Glycerin soap which is just perfect as my prep soap for my lavender shaves followed
by the OSP Lavender which has to be my best Lavender shaving soap, I shoud use it more, all the useal OSP attributes with a woody earthy lavender scent, this was soon wipped up into a silky lather with the beautifully ergonomic Cadman Bell brush with its super soft silvertips.
The Cobra glided through the silky lather decimating stubble as it went and before too long the shave was over leaving me with skin as smooth as the lather I had just removed. An aplication of Bart's Lavender AS Lotion moisturised and nourished my skin as well as leaving the calming lavender scent, I finnished off with a few sprays of Caldey Island lavender edt on my wrists and upper torso.
I was left very well shaven and smelling fantastic and I felt totally relaxed and could have retired back to bed for an hour but alas i could not. :(

I hope all of your shaves are as relaxing.......P.
