Friday 4 August
After deciding to move away from modern multi-blade cartridge razors ( can’t really remember why and I still have and use one occasionally for quickness) the Wilko butterfly was one of the first DE razors that I tried. It’s well made and important at the time was inexpensive. Another was a modern King Gillette DE. The positive experience started me on my shaving journey and on to a collection, ancient and modern, of tools to plane hair from my delicate fizog. I don’t regret a moment of my madness, the smoothness of feel after a good close shave with a bracing splash of after shave is an experience I look forward to daily. Joining TSR has been an added bonus for me.
The Wilko didn’t disappoint today. It’s a pretty mild razor but fitted with an Astra extra stainless gave a 2 pass a perfectly acceptable finish.
Soap took a bit of work to lather but hard water hereabouts doesn’t help.
Silver travel brush has a synthetic knot which I trimmed flat to fit in its tube so it now has a fan top to the bristles. I should have left it as was since I don’t travel with it, doh!
Have a great evening fellas!

I love those Avon glass after shave bottles, I have a couple including the brush. What do you make of Wild Country? It’s an unusual smell that’s for sure :rolleyes:

Distinctly Italian shave.

I'll refrain from commenting on it as om going to shave and alternate between this and the H&D razor pictured to do a "Reasonably Priced Razor Comparison" using the same kit with both razors...
 
4/8/23

Pre - Palmolive Sea Minerals
Soap - Arko Stick
Brush - Omega 10077
Razor - Gillette NEW Round Pin
Blade - Dorco Titan (4)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Benjamins Bay Rum/Menthol

First time using the new to me NEW Round Pin. I will compare it to the NEW Long Comb, but I think the Round Pin is a touch less aggressive, but plenty efficient for my liking. I think I will give this razor another outing with a fresher blade to see how it performs, but not a bad shave in the end.

Thursday evening's effort and shave themed, 'The randomness of the long distant shaver'

20230803_185529.jpg

Random razor - Muhle R89/ATT Colossus handle
By the way blade - Polsilver Lodz
Arbitrary brush - Wee Whiskey Barrel
Slap dash soap - York Swirling Soapery Vibrant Charm
Contingent cream - Pure moisturiser
Desultory essence - TOBS Eton


'T......H......E......M.....E....I'll just be several hours love'

A very pleasant little shave with the Muhle head on the rusted Stainless Steel ATT handle. And if I don't get this SOTD wrapped up pretty soon I'll never get around to rounding the week off in the correct manner. See you later peeps

But of course there is only one ending to this shave otherwise protocol has not been followed...




Why it's those RADICAL girls in some kind of 'grown up' guise

I mainly get Anise and Bergamot with some Lavender and other spice. Personally I love it. Would love another bottle and will be keeping my radar switched on. PS, the bottles are fantastic.
