Captain Fawcett Scapicchio & HJM Professional w/G5B Synthetic 24mm
Merkur 37C (2015 Revision) & Personna Platinum Chrome (3)
Old Spice Musk for Men (Vintage) Aftershave

Fantastic juice for this very true and traditional (non-clove) Bay Rum soap. Better match than a (clovey) Bay Rum aftershave. That, and the Personna is a dream in the revised Merkur slant, an absolute dream.

Thank goodness that wind has died down, at last I can get some rest.
Can’t say that I’ve noticed you being awake more than usual.
Oh I’ve been surviving on just a few hours, now I can really get some sleep!
Oh, ok, see you tomorrow.
Zzzzzz
 
Razor = Rex Ambassador ( 3 )
Blade = Strangelet Platinum by PAA
Brush = PAA’s 24mm Starcraft
Soap = PAA Fresco
with matching splash
Balm = Clarins Super Moisturiser
IMG_0609.jpegI was going to use a fake light slant to make this an all PAA shave but i can’t take the slants when i’m shaving everyday plus it’s a sad idea lol.
For the people that don’t know Fresco is PAA take on Old Spice Fresh that was around in the 80’s.
The scent is first class with just the right amount.
The blade i really like yet i don’t see it on here often if ever.
Made in China but a very capable blade.
Stay Safe Lads Weathers brutal
 
SOTD Wednesday 24 January 2024

Pre-shave:
Hot shower - cold tar soap - followed by cold water splash, Zing Organics 'Smoothie' Facial Serum + Beard Oil in Cannabis Flower with Cedarwood and Green Mandarin.
Soap: Proraso red.

Blade: Treet 7 Days platinum (2).
Post: Cold water splash, D.R. Harris Pink Aftershave.

Another lovely evening shave. The Prorasso Red lathered up in a flash, felt great on the skin, with a lovely post shave feel - this soap is growing on me as a Winter staple: thick lubricating, moisturising :) . As ever I appreciate YMMV.

A one pass WTG shave this evening, with some touch-ups - DFS with no issues to report.

The D.R. Harris Pink Aftershave finished off the shave nicely; no need for moisturiser!

I am finding the Seygus Zepplin V2 paired with a Treet blade to be super smooth and efficient - like a hot knife through butter - so pleasing.

All the best; happy Burn's day to all who are into that, tomorrow.

I continue with my general reporting for this week with yet another pair of SOTD's. In this case my shaves appear in front of your very own eyes with the theme, 'A nice pair' (I'd be very surprised if they appeared in front of anyone else's eyes unless you have some on loan)

A pair of furry round things..

A pair of funny talented Muppets


And a pair of unfunny talentless muppets....

Tuesday

Not a pair of razors - 3ONE6
A pair of twats - Wizzamet Super Iridium
A peachy pair - PAA Peregrino
I've got a lovely pair of coconuts - Abbate Y Mantia Krokos
I haven't - L'Occitane Cade balm
Phoar, what a pair - Abbate Y Mantia Krokos splash


'Ant and Dec aged five'

Curiosity asked me how the 3ONE6 would behave with a heavier handle as a change of handle can often change the razor dynamics. Certainly an 89 changes for the better in my untrustworthy and ill found opinion. So did it? Not really, and in fact felt slightly worse, plus it lost its quaint look with the fake (please note 'fake') ivory handle. Did it make me look any better? Nope. I will always look ugly.

Still a very acceptable shave and happiness prevailed. Even if good looks didn't.

Wednesday

A pair of shoes - Tatara Nodachi
A pair of clown shoes - Gillette Super Blue
A pair of underpants - Steven Jagger 30mm Cashmere
A pair of articles in a pair of underpants - MDC Rose
A pair of sausages - Collegen
A pair of kippers - Guerlain Homme


'Ant and Dec aged 85'
'He's out'

Just a generally wonderful shave. And I am still ugly. But a nicely smooth ugly bugger.

Have some Japanese ladies. In fact have a pair of them...Okay, just one then




You would need to ask Mrs Satanfriendly what it is about me and Ant and Dec. It usually involves going on a rampage down the street when they appear on the TV. My neighbour just seems to accept if she looks out the window and the car is on fire then it must be 'I'm a celebrity' time.

Someone once said they are the modern Morecambe and Wise.
I replied they are the modern Mike and Bernie Winters.
