SOTD 151217
SOTD 151217 3.jpg

Blade: Schick #3
Razor: Pal adjustable
Brush: Omega Barber Handle Synthetic
Soap: P&B Albion
Post: Alum and P&B Unscented Balm
EDT: Joop

My third go with the PAL adjustable and it just gets better and better. Set to the "R" position (The most aggressive) I had a wonderful 3 pass BBS shave with no irritation.
A smooth, easy to manoeuvre, well balanced and extremely well built razor.

Omega brush worked well face lathering but if I had to chose a synthetic then Razorock and I would even go as far to say Yaqi performs better. YMMV.
.
P&B Albion always creates a luscious rich lather. Beautiful scent and loads of slip n slide.

Completed my shave with alum that gave me no feedback, a small application of balm and a generous helping of Joop.

Enjoy your shaves! :)

Thank you Wayne,kind of you to say.

RE the Stirling Boar,it's still early in the game although I am impressed with the quality of the handle,i really like the shape too. After a few test lathers I decided to give the Stirling it's debut on S.O.T.D and i've noticed that a few hairs have started to spit already. I think this brush and I are going to get along just fine.

Keep this to yourself and don't tell the others,I have another on the way ;)

Outstanding performance from the Grooming Dept again. Prodigious cushion and slickness, an impressive luxurious lather. Lovely cherry Tobacco scent.

I have a spreadsheet to keep track of the soaps and creams in my rotation but forgot to check it for this morning, and couldn't be bothered switching the laptop on so decided to use a soap which has really grown on me recently. YMMV but IMO the scent of Tabac is fantastic. Top notch performance leading to a 3 pass BBS shave. In fact, I believe this is going to be used more regularly on my rotation. I'm very happy. :D
