Wednesday 18 September

The opportunity to get hold of a razor that combines two of my favourite elements , ie Blackland razors and GEM se blades, was too good to miss when @Boycie83 put his Sabre V2 up for sale. So now as the proud new owner I started off with plate 2 and new blade. Whereas I love Spanish Leather I’m not a real fan of shaving cream but still I went with it. It was ok, and the smell lingers but did not provide much of a lather even with the Rubberset original brush. No matter the result was bbs in two main passes. The Sabre V2 is a cracking se razor and could easily be a daily shaver. I love it. I’ll check out the other three setting in due course.
Have a great day fellas!

Simpson Duke 3
Edwin Jagger DE89

Proraso Sensitive balm

​

A lovely lather with the Wickham soap and a perfect smooth shave with the DE89. I could have had a lot of reasonably inexpensive excellent shaves with just this setup… if only!

Only my third shave with this Old type since I bought it for a fiver February last year. Previous Old types I've used over the years always led me to struggle with the angle and so I've eschewed it in favour of a razor with a better chance of an enjoyable shave.
Getting the sudden urge to correct this, today it only took a few strokes to get into a great shave... certainly the best I've ever had from an Old type. I will be giving it another run soon.


Rating: 4.5 / 5


Razor: Gillette Old Type
Blade: London Bridge Modern
Brush: Henkverhaar (TSR) badger brush Walnut Silvertip
Lather: SigNature Novus Spice
Aftershave: Old Spice (1950s)

Always nice to see bottom of the tin!

Late posting of yesterday's shave.
Good shave, no photo, (I'm riddled with man-flu (that's what I'm hoping it is) and wasn't too inclined.

Prep 3P Pre shavecream.
Brush Razorock Beehive synthetic.
Soap Zingari man The Watchman.
Razor Charcoal Goods Brass Stinger Plate 2.
Blade FlyDear (2).
Aftershave Zingari man The Watchman splash.

I was going to use the Blackbird tonight but I could hear the Stinger calling me.
A great decision, as it gave me a delightful 2 pass bbs shave.

Enjoy the night.

Midweek meanderings, shave

DSCosmetic green bowl
Palmolive Classic cream
Omega 10065 boar brush
Muhle R89 Twist razor
Derby Extra blade
Homemade splash (witch hazel and essential oils)
Proraso Repair Gel
Forest Fresh ASL
E45 Moisturising Lotion

A mild midweek medley of memorable materials! Everything just did what it was supposed to. Slight nick on neck but recently acquired repair gel sorted it. First time I’ve used a Derby blade for ages, had forgotten how much I liked them. Didn’t want perfume type stuff in nick so just ASL on cheeks (face cheeks that is ) and E45 instead of balm, seemed to work ok, face feels and smells great!
