Saturday 13 July

After watching Dave in KY video on how to use a Durham Duplex with a modern blade I gave it a go. A real fiddle to get the two blades in place, like Dave I only focused on using one edge on which I fitted a Feather Pro Guard, the other edge blade is just a spacer. With some trepidation I got to work and wow, what a great experience. I achieved bbs in two main passes and pick ups, no blood no drama. I thought that the wide head would make the shave a challenge but to my surprise it was relatively easy, shaving the gregory was a bit fiddly so took time to cover every nook and cranny.
I include an original Duplex blade in the foto for comparison purposes. It’s quite something and a carpet layer could use it to trim carpets! I would not attempt to shave with it :eek:
1 UP soap just got
from @CunningMrFox (cheers J) has a captivating Lemon base scent which I love and loaded with sufficient water it lathers superbly.
Have a great weekend fellas!

I start this new week of SOTD's with my final entry for the past week of SOTD's. I did indeed shave last night, took a photo, and started writing it all up. And then I fell asleep.

Woke up and thought 'Bollocks'. If I continued it would have posted in the last week and..

1) Nobody would take any notice. Not as if anyone does. And I don't blame you
2) Someone would then post for this week in the last one
3) it would be against the rules. Which ones, I am not sure

So here it is. A continuation of where I left off last night.

Ps. Blame the fact I worked all Thursday night, then drove to Yorkshire. And then drank too much.

And it is time to say 'Goodbye' **. And as my final entry for this past week of SOTD's I am honoured to give you my shave with the theme, 'Spanish fly and other ways of throwing contraception to the wind'

What? Me? - Occams Enoch
Liblado - Schick Proline
Tickling brush - Highlander Marine AFC
John Holmes soap - Floris Elite
Dysfunctional cream - Collagen
Dysfunctional person - Mr Friendly
Lurve scent - Floris Elite

Googling 'Ahrodisiac perfume' and up it throws..'Ann Summers. Put Pleasure Into Your Own Hands, Discover the Anal Toy for You'.


'Surprise my love! I bought you this wonderful perfume!'


'It looks exceptionally like a butt plug to me'

A most wonderful non-dysfunctional shave and totally free of blue pills, ginseng, oysters or a visit to xHamster.

Nope, just one superbly delivered bit of sink time with smooth grin inducing results, a bit like xHamster, but minus the embarrassment factor.

The Enoch certainly does pair with the Proline in a most brilliant manner and a top razor/blade in my books (and top shelf magazines). Not everyone's concept of a great razor being as it is liable to either fall apart or take your finger tips off loading the blade. But get it on song and by does it sing sweetly.

Being as I robbed you of some puffyshoes last night you can have last night's dose today. And if you do feel like a dose I'd recommend a visit to your local GU clinic...

Those T-type Durhams are lovely - the angle is perfect for a downstroke and backstroke, particularly on the neck. Lovely! If you were so inclined, the original Durham blades do re-hone well!
 
Razor = Wolfman WR 1
Blade = Minora Stainless ( 2 )
Brush = That Darn Robb Pastuer Group Buy
Soap = Barrister And Man Electric Mayhem
with matching splash & EDP
Balm = Loccitane Cade.
IMG_2055.jpegBit of a late one for me tonight but boredom got the better of me but a fantastic shave cheered me up.
The Wolfman WR 1 is probably the best DE Razor if tried.
Forget about costs, looks & workmanship it just does what it’s meant to do.
The angle for me is superb, everything is easy and my favourite daily shaver now by a country mile.
The brush was part of a pastures meet up but unsure if the year, perhaps the American gents on here could give me a bit of info.
This brush was part of Robb Moffat’s private collection & i was lucky enough to receive it.
The colours in the picture don’t do it justice,
0-5 for the Hibees today hopefully a good season ahead.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend
Mike.

Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
Cyril Salter- MS Ed2band
Cyril Salter Solid soap
Schick N3
Schick S/S Twin- Japan ( 3 )
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

Always nice to use The N3 especially with a twin blade on board. Very pleased with the ease of getting such a decent finish.Am out at a Home Match, but decided that sitting without a break for 6 hours is not fun or a good idea , so no longer officiating.

Razor - Muhle R89
Blade - Silver Star SS #2
Brush - Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Soap - OSP Urban Viking
Post - Superdrug Forest Fresh lotion and P&B Spitfire balm

A simple set up, but with tried and tested ingredients- always delivers a smooth and great shave. Not long ago I finished a tub of a mash-up of OSP samples and it performed brilliantly- now I'm left with Urban Viking which is, unfortunately, the sole representative of OSP in my Den(I'll have to remedy that).
