SOTD: Saturday 12 - Friday 18 October 2024.

Razor - Rockwell 6S R3
Blade - Shark SS
Brush - Muhle Silvertip fibre
Lather - Trumpers Spanish Leather Cream

I’m a day late due to Covid jab malaise. I had to grit me teeth and have a shave and shower and it was all worth it… now I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy AND sweet-smelling.

The shave was flawless and the Shark blade still behaved itself.

Have a good day, everyone.

Soap • Stirling Nag Champa
Brush • Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo Red Marble
Razor • Claymore Evolution
Blade • Feather Pro (2)
Post • Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla



That did the trick.
The Feather blade was a little too keen on it's first use, and has smoothed out now.
I find Proline blades to be the same too.

The soap was a gift from Iain, @Digimonkey
I really like the scent - reminds me of West London corner shops in the 70's.
Those were the days - 4 chewy sweets for a penny!
 
Prep: Face wash with Nivea face wash
Pre: Bart’s Pre-Shave

Even though recently I was on quite a BST soap purchasing spree I am returning to the MWF. Such a classic.
It just needs loading up properly for a good lather.

Lesson 1 How to turn a crap soap in to a good shave lol.
Seriously what a cracking shave this was and my first with a DE in over a week.
Iv used this soap before & realised it was gash but i decided to have another go.
What is like to ask the owners of Trumper is how can you make such wonderful creams yet some of the worst soaps on the market,
I need someone to explain this,
I need someone to tell me how a business can sustain such a dreadful product.
Who Knows
One positive is the Scent is fantastic it really is
however the performance is brutal.
By the time i’m getting ready to shave the other side of my face the soap has dissipated,
it’s quite weird as you see it happening in from of your eyes,
Three to Four strokes on one side theses virtually nowt left on the other,
if i hadn’t spent over £80 on the cologne this soap would have been a shower soap long ago,
In fact there’s where it’s going to end up so i need to remind myself to buy the cream first.
Bottom line is i still had a great shave it was just a case of applying soap every 39 seconds.
I must have known i would have picked a crap soap after being £1000 lighter with MOT & Service
Never Mind
