SOTD: Saturday 21 - Friday 27 September 2024.

24/9/24

Soap - Tallow THE FAT
Brush - Zenith 2006
Razor - Gillette Slim Twist
Blade - Supermax Blue Diamond Platinum (1)
AS - Brut Oceans

Time to make an apology to my little Zenith 2006 brush, I dismissed it without giving it a chance.

Initially I was a little disappointed with the brush, I thought it was a touch too floppy and lacked the backbone of the first unbleached Zenith I bought about 8 years ago. Ok, this 2006 isn't the scrubby brute the other one was but it's a glorious knot. It holds an easy 3 passes of lather with almost no bother, and this is using it with the Fat too, which can be a little finicky with some brushes from my experience too.

So here I am, sorry to my Zenith 2006, you are a great little brush!

I'd been using a lot of Gillette blades for a while, so I got a little bored with them and wanted to use something else. Took out one of my Supermax BDP blades which is a really smooth blade in the right razor. Nice shave.

IMG_2920.jpegFirst time on the fat for a while,
infact it doesn’t seem that far away it since fat february but iv been so busy every month is slipping away.
It really is up there for me is a favourite.
Nothing fancy just a fantastic easy to lather soap.
I genuinely think you can’t go wrong with most triple milled soaps.

LAAAAAAAADIES AAAAAND GENTLEMEN. WELCOME, WELCOME AAAAANNND.....

welcome to my first entry for this new week of SOTD's and it is with great pleasure I present you with a duo of shaves themed, 'Faith and crossing the road'

There is an old Chinese proverb which says 'A man who walks down the middle of the road can get knocked over by traffic coming from both directions'


'Edwin Crowthers is crowned world champion in the out running a Ford Super Speedster championships (12mph)'

Saturday

Every faith - Ikon B1
Faith and fate - Polsilver Lodz
Cross hairs - Highlander LE 2023
Ye of little Faith - York Swirling Soapery Vibrant Charm
Faith no more - L'Occitane Cade balm
Legs crossed - Van Cleef Rose Rouge


'And that just about sums up how I feel about you. Rose Rouge or not'

A great way to start the new SOTD week and a perfect finish with the Ikon. And some swirling from York just adding to the vibrancy and charm. Which is more than I can say for a certain man from York who lacks both charm and vibrancy, whose wife knows more about charming vibrations as a result. Anyone got a couple of C-cell batteries?

Some charming Japanese ladies bashing the shit out of some instruments?




Sunday

A shave free day through being an idle bastard

Monday

Cross breed - Stainless Mongrel Mongoose
Ever faithful - Feather Super Professional
Cross dresser - PAA Peregrino
Keep the faith - Proraso soap
Faith healer - Simple moisturiser
Blind faith - Hermes terre d'hermes

After taking several hours to extract the brush and the razor from the terre d'hermes it didn't take too long to do some serious Whipping then some heavy duty razoring (there must be something grammatically incorrect there, but sod it. I am just an ignoramus at my best). And what a very happy shave after being an idle bastard the previous night. Big grin value.

And I shall depart by leaving you with some big grin value ladies. Why, it's some more Aldious.




And I shall just go away, but not before I've told you, I love you all

For your info, it was the all male Japanese band Crossfaith which set me off down the road of girly music from Japan

Now all I have to do is trawl through several pages of SOTD's deciding if I love you or not. Which of course I do as I have already declared my undying love for you all
