It appears I have posted quite a few times here on this new week of SOTD's and not actually posted anything of real interest(?) in form of an SOTD. Then again, believe me, it is easier to interject with some scribbled together garbage than take time to write an SOTD. Which also happens to be scribbled together garbage.
So with no further of those ado things (to be Shakespearean about it), my first two shaves of this new week with the entitled theme, 'Weapons of mass destruction and razors of brass construction'.
Saturday
Nuclear razor - Ikon B1
A blade to conquer the world - Polsilver Lodz
Ballistic brush - Cadman 24mm Tuxedo
20 megaton soap - MDC Rose
Chemical department - Simple moisturiser
Deadly scent - C&S C88
'Sexy?'
'Ahem. Yes. They are my legs'
'Not sexy then'
I guess this SOTD was partially driven by the recent posting by new member
@amaragaz . Or should that be Amoregaz? In which case, no I don't love you. He recently made a description of the Ikon B1 as being a 'Weapon' and
@Mike Smart went on about cats. Neither one is correct. It just happens to be that Ikon was the Greek God of razors. Although Lambda may have a different slant on this one.
And just to prove a point this shave was all about how damn close can you get without being skinned? Very. But in a sensible and comfortable way. One stunning shave as I would come to expect from the B1 Lodz pairing and a great showing by team lather with the headline act being the super duper MDC Rose. Throw some C88 in to the mix at the end and some major Cheshire grinning as supplied by a cat. Ah, that's where the cat comes in. A Eureka moment! I was later arrested for running naked down the street claiming I'd just discovered Archimedes principle. The police didn't buy that one as apparently another Greek God (The Greek God of floating) had penned the principle in circa 246 BC. Being as pens hadn't been invented at the time it becomes obvious that BC is BIC with the 'I' missing. They arrived 246 years later.
Super shavingmanship and I forgot how bloody great C88 is
Who cares about all that? Where are the Japanese girlies? Well one of them. A Buddhist monk percussionist meets a gender neutral guitarist meets some lady completely out of her tree. And no it's not Midori. It's those MO8 folk
Sunday
Not quite brass, but more bronzed razor - Timeless bronze
Stainless not bronze - Feather
Wooden brass - Steven Jagger 30mm Cashmere
Bronze coloured soap _ Abbate Y Mantia Krokos soap
Brass Pink colored moisturiser - Collagen
a brassy scent - Abbate Y Mantia Krokos EDC
No Giphy available at this moment but we do hope to have a restock next week
A second outing for the newly acquired Timeless bronze and I must admit I am starting to really take to this razor. I have always found razors made from the softer metals such as brass or bronze to have a real tactile skin feel about them. I think of my past adventures with the likes of the brass Hone, the brass General and the Lambda Athena and they have all proven themselves to be smooth operators.
A small interlude by Sade there. What does she know about shaving? Probably more than any of us. I just don't see her being a lady with much hair other than on her head. Isn't she just so so beautiful.
Interlude over. Ice creams are still available at the kiosk in the foyer
The Krokos soap really needs a mention as it is (as far as I am concerned. Which doesn't count for much) one of the best soaps on planet shave. Took me a few shaves to get it to face lather, but once there, what a lather. The EDC comes in from an unusual scent angle but really hits the spot. Who'd ever think Saffron could be such a potent aroma?
The Timeless itself delivers shaving bliss in such a sweet manner. The polar opposite to the Ikon yet just as effective. I thought similar to the Feather AS-D2 at first, but it isn't. Whereas the Feather makes one shave forever, this one just gets the job done instead of standing over the sink for hours trying to get that feeling something has happened. My wife says I give the same sensation. Except I'd already been asleep for several of them hour things.
Overall an absolutely blissful shave and heavenly results. Not as though I understand what heavenly refers to, but shit, it was one good bit of sink time. Time to sleep now. Oh, I have been
Have a wonderful week ahead and don't forget, 'I love you all'
You can have some more MO8 to end on as I know how much you have taken to them
