A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.

A wonderful performance from both the Parker 55SL and the E.R. 1912. The English version of the 1912 i find slightly more assertive than the US version. That said, both are a joy to shave with.

Like all my other Parker DE razors the Parker 55SL has paired together with all of DE blades i have paired it up with. Some have been better than others, but all have given me acceptable results to date.

A close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Adidas Extreme Power EdT to the pulse points.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Usual razor and blade (R41 and Shark SS) but I'm really, really loving this Wilkinson Sword soap. Smells fantastic, provides a great shave and so cheap! I'm usually a cream fan, but thus soap just works quickly and easily.

Same as last week. A combined SOTD photo/post as another manic week will see me with very little time.

Last weeks theme was shave sticks, this weeks theme is cream specifically Arko.

SOTD: 14/01/2023

Razor: Yaqi Excalibur
Blade: Feather Pro, 5th use
Brush: Knothead Brush Works 26mm AP Shave Co. Synbad
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: HC&C White Star Southern Comfort Puck
Balm: Liz Earle Aftershave Balm Balm
Fragrance: William Hunt Oud De Parfum Eau de Toilette

I love this sweet scent of Bourbon and Tobacco. Apparently there’s cedarwood, tonka bean, and blushed rose petals in the mix as well, all I know is I need to get the balm/splash as it’s great and a step away from my usual citrus heavy den.
Another super easy shave from the Excalibur which for some reason seems able to cling to the lather more easily than my Vector. It makes no real difference except for the need for less rinsing. It’s actually making me question the need for my Claymore at the moment as it’s almost as mild and smooth, plus it’s more efficient so kind of makes it redundant.
Enjoy the weekend guys.

Saturday Str8
Pre - Sainsbury's Luxury Soap, Bergamot & Nectarine
Brush - Jayaruh #355 Synth Maggards Knot
Soap - Signature Soap Hibernia
Razor - Osborne, Garrett & Co Ltd 1899 - 1923. The Kropp 6/8th #1 & Tatara Masamune
Blade - @andrew - Shavers delight / Personna Med Prep
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Tonyschin's Orange & Neroli Argan Oil
A/S - Mäurer & Wirtz 4711 EDC

I enjoyed the shave today, however, the edge on the #1 Kropp was not as smooth as it should be. It did a good enough job on the WTG pass but probably needs a refresh.
The Masamune turned up yesterday which i bought from a very good friend on another forums BST and just could not wait to give it a run out. I completed an ATG pass with some touch up for a very smooth BBS finish. I think i am going to get along with this razor.
I did get a little indication from the splash at the end of the post shave routine.
Overall a nice shave that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

the GFT Officers and Gentlemen soap which is superb and lathered up a treat

I never thought I'd see such praise for a Trumper's soap.

 

[Paul L]

I never thought I'd see such praise for a Trumper's soap.

Me neither Arthur.

Is it a new formulation Paul?

 

[Blademonkey]

I never thought I'd see such praise for a Trumper's soap.

This one and the Oxford Blue soap lather up as good as the cream's do, why the others don't is beyond me!
