(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the first day of Autumn 2023.

The Merkur 34C & Gillette Guard mowed through my face & head stubble effortlessly making my first day of autumn face & head shave a pleasurable experience...A great inexpensive shave set up that all worked together superbly.

Another enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine. ;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

Enjoyed a perfect shave from a perfect razor & blade combo. Silky smooth and very efficient. 3passes for a bbs finish...

Chased across the country last night and heaven forbid, missed my shave, I arrived for work, only to find they don't need me until this evening. I smell an early morning shave here, I smell an uprising.

And so it is that my first entry for this new week of SOTD's has arrived in a state of insurrection and the the theme, 'Anarchy by the bathroom sink'

20230922_171826.jpg


Revolutionary razor - Tatara Nodachi
Chaotic cutter - Tiger
Nihilistic brush - Highlander TSR LE 2023
Lawless lather - ADP Collezione Barbierre
Mobocracy moisturiser - Collegen
Disorderly odour - ADP Colonia Club

A riotous assembly! (and a cracking Tom Sharp book)


'There's a riot going on! Bring your shopping bags ladies!'

It is the return of the Karaoke shave. On this occasion I couldn't find the original lyrics on-line and only those by Motley Crue so God knows what Americanism did to the classic song(?).

I am not a fan of heavy metalers doing punk covers and changing the feel of the original. Metallica's cover of 'So what?' by the Anti-Nowhere League made an otherwise foul song almost acceptable for a primary school assembly.

But here it is anyway. Usual rules. Press play, and if the words don't fit, make them. Mr Lydon did.....





Right now

Oh I am an anti-beard
And I am a shaving weird
I don't want no hair on my face
I just want a clean boat race
I want to destroy your bristles boy
'Cause I, I want to be, non-hairy
In this fuckin' shower room

Beardless for the UK
It's coming sometime, defin-itely
I have my limits and my shaving cream
Your future dream is a sharp blade scheme
'Cause I want to be, furry free
Well it's the only way to be

Ha ha ha ha ha ha
There are many ways to shave what you want
I use the best, and let the razor do the rest
Well I use the TSR LE
I use the Nodachi

'Cause I, I want to be, a non beardy
Fuck that facial shit man

Is this the ADP
Or is this the MDC
Or is this the Abbate
I thought it was the B&B
Or just another shaving assembly
Some other fuckin' forumee

And I, want to be, beard free
I want to fucking hear it shavers

And I, want to be, non beardy
Let's say it again folk
And I, want to be, non beardy
Get pissed
Fluffing destroyed

And in between my uprising songs from the sink, did I shave? I most certainly did.

Another great revolutionary performance from the Highlander brush. Rock the Cashmere. The ADP doing what the ADP does best. Causing facial turmoil with it's superb soapy hoarding act.

And to quell the swarms of lather, step in that crowd dispersing Tatara Nodachi. And what a pleaser it turned out to be. Anything armed with a Tiger can soon annihilate most hairy gatherings, and it did. Everyone should own a Nodachi at some point in their shaving life.

End results put an end to the disorderly dial down and facial peace was retained once again. God save the gleam.

Have a most bodacious of weekends you beautiful beardless brethren and I do. Love you all.

I guess a most Japanese lady ending band for this shave just has to be 'Anarchy Stone'. Enjoy, or don't.....

Razor: Friodur 17

Good shave this morning, the 17 mows through everything nicely. I did mishandle it a little on one spot on the ATG pass but nothing major.

Ready for a day of moving furniture and putting up shelves, I abhor any form of DIY, purely due to incompetence. Oh well, needs must!

Have a good one all.

Cheers

Marc

My Shave today consisted of...
Prep Proraso preshave balm
Brush Highlander Black synthetic Boti new tuxedo brush
Soap Signature Hybrid Lindum.
Razor Schick injector type G.
Blade Gillette Platinum plus.
Bowl Obsidian Copper.
Aftershave Signature Lindinis.

Today I went full on Signature soaps for my shave and also used my Signature soaps Shower scrub that produces a lovely lather for that all over body experience.
Another fantastic shave today with the Schick razor, it's been the best £20 I have spent in a long long time.
I am kicking myself for not trying injector razors sooner, oh well I seem to always be late to the party but I do get there lol.
The Signature Hybrid soap performed perfectly and the scent from the aftershave finished off my pampering, so now I look and smell so good I can hear Vogue ringing me to appear on the cover of the next issue.
Have an amazing day ahead everyone.

First shave back on home soil.
iv not been on much over the last 3 weeks due to being totally shattered.
By the time i finish work i’m totally done.
i was looking forward to this one mainly due to the brush but my wife had also bought me a couple of soaps, this being one of them.
Clearly the star of the show is the brush & what a fine brush it is.
I’m Genuinely blown away with the quality.
It’s one of these brushes i’m pleased to say i won’t be without.
The fact it’s part of this forum makes it all the more special.
The Soap was the first Ariana & Evans iv bought in 2/3 years and don’t get me wrong i wouldn’t have bought this one even although i now love it.
The VR1 base was new to me and to be honest i didn’t find it any better thank the Kaizen,
That’s not a criticism but a personal observation that it’s not any better in my eyes.
Apart from the brush everything else was sort of put together.
i hadn’t used a Timor blade in a couple of years due to not been so keen however this shave has changed my mind.
A 3 pass wonderful relaxing shave.
Bring on the next one
Stay Safe boys n girls
