Yaqi Sagrada Familia - Wickham Super Smooth V2, Toasted Coconut (sample) - Schick G1 - NOS Schick Platinum Plus #3 - Alum - Quorum A/S - Gillette Pro 3in1 Balm

The shave was wonderful today. Wickhams new SS formula is a triumph in performance and scent.

Unfortunately after the shave while cleaning and drying, the G1's handle crumbled away from the head in dramatic manner. I'm now on the search for a replacement handle, as I do not want to consign the head to the Schick graveyard.
 
Saturday 10th November

Pears Glycerine face wash
RazoRock Santal Royale
YaqI 2 Band Finest Marble Handle
Ikon 102 / Windrose
Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Floid Black Aftershave
Fendi Fan Di Fendi EdT



Smooth shave all the way today - although for me three shaves from a Silver Blue is it's limit
I chose today's Soap, ASL and EdT to compliment each other and to help lift the spirits on a gloomy day here in the East Midlands

Enjoy your weekend all
 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Saponificio Varesino Two-band High Mountain Manchurian White Badger
Soap: De Vergulde Hand
Razor:Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna P74 Tungsten Steel (12)
Post: CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Penhaligon's Endymion EdT

Three passes for a DFS+. The tallow-based De Vergulde Hand soap lathers very easily and has a clean soapy scent. The beautiful SV brush whipped up plenty of lather for the three passes.
Finished with one of Penhaligon's more daring fragrances - Endymion. Lovely stuff.
 
Morning shave

Nobel Otter Flying Hide
Saponificio Varesino 2.0 Cocobolo
CB Karve D
Polsilver SI (3)
Humphreys Witch Hazel
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Leather

Nobel Otter soaps are top-notch performers in my opinion. And I like the scents too. So a great start to the weekend. Have a good one gents.

Look out for their new release November 19th. Sounds top and that label artwork is class!

Saturday AM 2018-11-10

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney Emillion 2 Porcelain-Jade Finest (26/54)
Floris Verbena shaving soap (tallow)
Weber DLC/Wave
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (20)
Ralph Lauren Polo aftershave

Excellent. This soap seems to be underappreciated. Like all the other classic tallow-based Floris soaps, it makes fantastic lather. But I suspect that its lemon-green fragrance isn't as popular as the more traditional cologne-type ones. It complements the aftershave very nicely.

Saturday the 10th of November:

Razor - Merkur 45
Blade - Gillette 7 o'clock yellow (4)
Bush - Vulfix 404
Cream - Truefitt & Hill sandalwood
Post - Barts Balm, Cinnamon & Patchouli

A lovely clean shave from my favorite razor, and a cream which is just about to run out. As much as I like T&H, going to try Trumpers next.

Genuinely moved by this piece of art today:
