SOTD: Saturday 13 July - Friday 19 July 2024.

Razor = Shield.
Blade = Schick Proline.
Brush = Kent P12 in Pure Badger.
Cream = Fitjar Islands Folgefonn.
Splash = Myrsol Blue.
Balm = Baxter Of California.
Wasn’t going to shave today but was in need of some menthol.
i was sitting in my house sweating when i realised my wife had the heating on to dry a washing rather than walk to the garden to hang it out .
Cut a long story short i had a great shave.
June 2020 i started this soap & tonight was the last.
4 years to finish one soap means i have around 400 years worth of soap .
Anyway first go on this shield paired with the Proline was a dream,
100% bbs, On a biased note it’s not quite as good as my Oren but it’s certainly a close second.
The menthol in the cream, splash & balm is just right.
To much i don’t like but this is first class.
The Brush was an ebay buy and i don’t know much about it.
My calliper’s have ran out of battery but i think this brush is 30 mm although i could be wrong.
Onwards to Tomorrow
Enjoy your sunday

Sunday, shave

Nice quiet shave tonight, no issues, excellent. The cream was a gift from that nice chap @Tony'schin and the next couple of blades I have lined up were from him as well, a Personna and a Wizamet, looking forward to them I am! Cheers Tony. The cream is awesome, and the combo of Muhle and Shark very smooth and effective. All told very happy with the outcome, feeling and smelling bodacious!
 
Thanks for the dedication, and that Makala Dolphin is an excellent little uke, I had a red one but it was one of those sold when we downsized.

I’ve been kindly loaned the Vector Lite by @Johnny Bravo and have to say so far it’s been a delight. I loved the original but found it just too aggressive for my daily needs, this shares the manoeuvrability and fantastic head design but with none of the skin scraping I got when using the original for more than a few days in a row. It’s going to take a few more uses but it seems to mow down almost all my bristles with ease, and unlike the standard version, has an uncanny ability to barely skim my skin leaving it feeling incredibly smooth and irritation free. I still need to work on my the soft areas to the side of my Adam’s apple but it is a significant improvement on the original for me!

'Was that a shave which just passed by?'
'I think it was'

'I talk shite'

Yes I do

But what a most Godly shave. Not as if I know what that means or who he is.

Have some of the UK lady gymnastics team practicing for the Olympics




Or some obsolete Japanese girly band....




Make your choice

Oh, and by the way it's a damn good job Fawcett's have the sense to write 'Shaving Soap' on the lid just in case I might have thought it was toothpaste.

Hey, thanks! Yup, this blade is only available at 1 shop near my home, nowhere else. It is an awesome blade...for me...
If any member is heading my way for a holiday or work or perhaps someone from my side is going to the UK and can pass along many blades to be shared...it's cheap too...hahahaha!

 
15 July

Sterling Campania
Plisson synthetic
Tatara Masamune Nodachi
Personna med prep
Men’s Grooming Vetiver and Sandalwood balm


​
A very smooth two pass shave this morning. The Tatara equipped with one of my last few remaining med prep blades was wonderfully smooth and efficient. The Plisson brush made an excellent lather with the Sterling soap. A grand start to the week.
