A new blade fitted to the Sabre V2 on L2 bar, i have to say it did not seem to smooth out that harshness as much as my V1.
Still had a crackin' finish although i did get a little indication from the splash.
Maybe use the L1 for new blades then move up a little?
Enjoy your day all.
 
Hello. My name is Zuzu and I am 7 years old. I am the youngest granddaughter of grandad Chris. He has asked me if I can write his SOTD for him because he is fat and lazy. I don't know what an SOTD is. I think it might mean Sick Of Tedious Daughters, but who knows.

He told me I have to use his name Satanfriendly which makes me laugh. He is not Satan, or friendly. He is just rubbish.

I have told him to shove his head up his bottom and he can do it himself because he doesn't do much except annoy nanna and trump a lot.

Thank you Zuzu, you are no longer on my Christmas present list. Then again you never were. Or your sister. In fact I don't have a list. Saves me money.

So here I am day 4 of a new week of SOTD's and I finally make an appearance. And the usual fist full of shaves to prattle on about.

So with no further adoing I present three shaves themed, 'Shaving and fisting'

Saturday

20240927_183213.jpg

A fistful of razors - Ikon B1
A fistful of razor blades - Polsilver Lodz
A brush with fisticuffs - Wee Whiskey Barrel
A damn good fisting - Yorkshire Lad cream
Fisting cream - Nivea moisturiser
Smells painful - YSL Homme



'That's it lads. Just straight in there and give them a damn good fisting!'

If memory serves me right it must have been a great shave as I just don't do shite.

Unlike this lady who doesn't see to give anything lesser





Sunday

Iron fist - Occams Enoch
For a few shaves more** - Feather Super Pro
Hand over fist - Highlander LFC
Fist bump - Captain Fawcett's scarpicchio
Clenched fist - L'Occitane Cade balm
Teeth clench - Guerlain Homme


(Nb 'Please see previous Giphy caption')

** And in the blade bin it went, so actually no more shaves more

A great shave? Nb Please see previous shaving remarks

And some more crappy Japanese girly music? Obligingly so. Stoned Green Apples. A kind of puffyshoes on acid





Tuesday

20241001_173114.jpg

Fists of fury - Ikon B1
36 Crazyfists - Polsilver Lodz
Fist work - AP Shaving 24mm Cashmere
Bare fist - Signature Londinium
A fist full of knuckles - C&S C88

There will be no more Giphys this shave due to a giphy power outage**

Brilliance. At least I can remember this one as my memory does extend to last night. Phew. A bunch of shaving Gods and that super Londinium in the mix.

** and no more Japanese girly videos due to excessive media overload.

I will leave this SOTD with a lesson our Zuzu had on 'jobs people do' at school

My daddy is a teacher
My mummy helps teachers
My nanna Y helps teacher
My grandad J is a builder
My uncle J is a scientist
And my nanna P is a teacher

And what about your other grandad? The one who brings you to school on a Monday

Oh, grandad Chris? He's just rubbish


And she is correct. I said at the start I finally make my first entry on day 4. And here I am on day 5 finally pressing 'Post reply'. I truly am, rubbish

But I do love you all
 
Savonnaire du moulin
HSC Erskine 26mm synthetic

Smashing shave with the soap and brush producing an outstanding lather, easy two pass shave and BBS the result topped off with a splash of witch hazel as a toner then a spritz of cologne before heading out for a meal with family.

It was my first ever shave with a gem type razor and this 1912 in superb condition was given to me in a trade with @pjgh.Taking my time to try get angles right produced a fantastic close shave.
Jeez that gem blades are sharp I hope it calms down after a shave or two on it :D

Thanks again Paul
 
Is that the 71/72 or 127? Only ask as I know you use Floris No.127 and wonder what your thoughts are on it. The 127 is on my 'should I?' list
Aah yes, it's 127, I must have had a bout of cock fingers when typing that :)
I'm absolutely loving the 127, it's sort of similar to 89 but a lot lighter and a lot more wearable. I think I'll always have a bottle, one of my favourites at the moment.

Then it shall change from 'should' to 'will'

Your recommendations on perfumes have always been spot on.
