SOTD: Saturday 24 - Friday 30 August 2024.

Would also really value some advice please - (1) how best to load from these tiny samples? I took some out (about 1/3rd) and squeezed it deep into the boar brush and then face lathered. Is that the best way? (2) Did I use enough? - 2nd pass was really thin. Thanks in advance
 
Hi Sandpaper, if the soaps soft you can apply to the face or smash some into the brush, 2 : always can use more product , no wrong way just learning.
 
Love the picture in the shave review mate

The Morning Shave.
The Feather Hi-Stainless blade was in my 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable today.

After missing my shave yesterday, it was another opportunity to use the Feather Hi-Stainless.
I thought I would be a little indulgent today, with the Vulfix Pure Badger and the Proraso Wood & Spice.
Absolutely love the Wood & Spice scent. Quite strong but a great scent.
Not sure if this has been completely discontinued now or if some stock is still available. I use no more than 1gram of shave cream so these last me a few years.

The Feather performs amazing with a couple of days growth, so smooth and comfortable.

Can anyone identify the watch?

Greetings,

Relaxing Sunday Morning Shave.

The Wilkinson Sword TTO is completely different to the Wilkinson Sword Classic plastic two piece. Aggression wise I personally find it very similar as my Chinese Gillette super speed clones. My only gripe with it is the longer than needed handle, apart from that it's a good shaver.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

I like to have some background noise while shaving. Today was some Deep Purple. (My all time favourite band.)

Enjoy the remainder of your Bank Holiday weekend everyone.

A glorious bit of sink time with the Kropp #1 this morning, i am really happy with the edge i have put on this one. The blade was singing throughout the shave. Nothing from the Alum rub or splash, i do actually think i am getting the hang of this Straight Razor Shaving.
Enjoy your day all.
 
I love the Cella line up mate
