42nd Birthday Shave

Soap - Valobra
Brush - Highlander TSR LE
Razor - Gillette BE Tech USA
Blade - Gillette New Chromium Edge (5)
AS - Brut Original

Like with the fine gent, Tony @Tony'schin I'm also celebrating my birthday today. A fantastic day so far, I ate some pasta for lunch. Everyone likes pasta right? Who doesn't like it? Monsters I tell you. Monsters. Sitting in their dark kitchens and dining rooms, munching on their cold crunchy turnips.

What else did I do today?

I also got one of those chocolate filled doughnuts from Lidl.

Pasta and a doughnut? Yeah, that's me, a life of decadence.

For my birthday shave, I used the stick of Valobra Paul @Blademonkey sent me, what a glorious lather. I've got quite a few bits and pieces of premium shaving soaps that I largely neglect, I'm going to be using them more now. With their tallow goodness, my chubby brown face will be as soft as one of the soft fluffy bread rolls you can buy in Lidl. and as smooth as erm, I'm trying to think of something smooth, maybe as smooth as as the outside of a Dime bar (smooth on the outside, crunchy on the inside).

Have a good day gents.

A break from SEptember for my Birthday shave with my Birthyear Slim (Well it has to be done really).
I do enjoy using this Travel Set and today was no exception, a crackin' shave today starting with a wonderful lather mixed up with the re-knotted Vintage Culmak and the Brilliant Signature soap. A great post shave finishing with a nice splash of Tuscany, a real special splash for both Mrs TC and myself.
We should have a good day out today ending with a nice restaurant meal.
Enjoy your day all.

Happy birthday woohoo.

My Shave today consisted of...
Prep 3P Pre shavecream.
Brush Goodfellas Smile Wild hog.
Soap Zingari man The Watchman.
Razor Blackland Dart.
Blade Polsilver (1).
Post shave 3P cream
Aftershave Once upon a time splash.

I have taken a step away from the Sabre and wanted to go back to the Dart to see if it was a lucky shave the other day.
The Watchman is a great shaving soap and always delivers a great lather.
I popped in a Polsilver blade that was kindly gifted by @LeeMaz and set to work.
I did a thoroughly enjoyable 3 pass shave, two would have been enough but why not everything was there.

I own 4 Blackland Razors and the Dart has been by far the easiest to click with, I feel like I have owned it for years,if only the Sabre felt the same.
I love it and can assure you all now that the only time the Dart is leaving my den is when I am finally pushing up those daisy's.

A stress free and relaxing shave leaving me glass smooth, enjoy the night everyone.

Last two shaves, soaps very generously PIF'ed by @CunningMrFox .
1. Karve Overlander brass :: Personna Viking's Sword :: Boti synth 24mm brush :: P&B specialist soap and splash
2024-09-01-10-09-12-591.jpg
Phoenix and Beau's standard (so pretty good) performance from the soap and splash. I will have to see if I (and the rest of the household) will get used to the whisky+tobacco scent of this.
Overall a very pleasant shave.

2. Karve Overlander brass :: GSB :: Boti synth 24mm brush :: Ariana and Evans Sylvan Fog cream :: P&B Albion splash
2024-09-04-07-56-41-503.jpg
First time using A&E product - performance is excellent! The scent may again not be for me, but I'll give it a few more shaves - it may be one of the ones that grows on me, it is intriguing.
A comfortable shave.
