SOTD Wed 9 Oct 2024

Wet Wednesday, shave
DSCosmetic green bowl
Proraso Blue cream
Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm synthetic brush
Muhle R89 Twist razor
Derby Premium blade
Homemade splash (witch hazel and essential oils)
Nivea Sensitive PSB
Forest Fresh ASL
Hugo by Hugo Boss EDT

On a cold, wet night, a nice hot shave with protective Proraso lather and an efficient, comfortable razor and blade combo was just what the doctor ordered! The old visage being left smooth and smelling fragrant. The Hugo being particularly nice tonight for some reason. I rediscovered it not so long ago after losing track of it when moving house a couple of years ago. My son got it for me for Father’s Day/birthday/whatever in the early 2000’s so I guess it’s vintage now!

New one to be fitted next week.

Thur 10th October

Aleppo soap - Shave pre wash
Jayaruh Syn No67
Vitos Super Red
Schick Super 11
Schick Super 11 Ultrex blade ( 5 )
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

Showered and Shaved early today, as having Covid/ Flu jabs. Picked the Cart Razor for a good no problem Shave, which was very good due to the superb creamy lather whipped up by this Syn brush. Got this brush from an artisan who frequents a Single Edge forum in USA, it is very effective and feels good on the face.

Another very satisfying shave. It seems I have gathered a selection of really good shaving accoutrements over the years that work well for me. I have the guys that use this forum to thank for their knowledgeable opinions, without which I would never have heard of some of my gear. Am I happy to be part of this forum? Hell, yes! But, I am somewhat poorer for it
 
Get your cardigan & slippers on mate.
Boilers never break down in the summer.
Maybe because they are not switched on in the summer lol
