SOTD: Saturday 31 August - Friday 06 September 2024.



this soap has lasted another week but only just. getting harder to load from now. surely just a few more shaves left.



lovely, close shave and just a tiny bit of aftershave sting. more of a nice feeling, warm, tingling that immediately faded. took a bit more care and attention during the shave but it's nice to use a more aggressive razor after a few R89 shaves.

Signature SEptember
Pre - Sainsbury's Luxury Soap Fig and Jasmine
Brush - Alpha Outlaw Titanium V1 Synth
Soap - Signature Soap Leodis
Razor - ES Claymore V1
Blade - Schick Proline PB 30
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Tonyschin's Lime E45 / Argan oil Balm
A/S - Mäurer & Wirtz 4711 Rose

A later shave than usual which meant more stubble for the Claymore to go at. Another very reliable, excellent lather from the Signature soaps is just what the chin needed as prep. The Scottish heavyweight was fitted with the Schick PB and away i went.
This razor/blade combo was very nice, I completed a full 3 pass shave and i am left with a glass smooth, comfortable finish.
A nice post shave setting me up for a curry night with the lads.
Enjoy your evening all.
 
Belated happy birthday!

Friday 6th September



Art of Shaving Sandalwood (Vintage) Shaving Soap & Muhle Classic Silvertip Fibre 23mm
Ever-Ready Streamline (1950s) & GEM by Personna Stainless (5)
Pashana Original Aftershave

... same again.

Fifth shave on the blade and I think it's at that perfect point of now super-smooth while still being super-sharp. 10/10

Have a great weekend, folks!
 


My Shave today consisted of...
Prep 3P Pre shavecream.
Brush Cadman Cashmere.
Soap Executive Shaving Fresh Mint.
Razor Blackland Sabre V2 lvl2.
Blade Gem (3).
Post Executive Shaving Fresh Mint balm.

Stepping away from this razor a few days really did the trick.
I did a 3 pass shave and I am now left with a more than acceptable shave, pretty darn good really.
I am happy with that result and would rather get my technique right before trying to get a glass smooth finish.
It's a real shame Executive Shaving closed as I like the Shaving cream.
I am now a happy bunny and enjoy the night everyone.
