SOTD: Saturday 8 June - Friday 14 June 2024.



My Shave today consisted of...
Prep Hot shower.
Brush Highlander LE2023 Badger.
Soap Zingari man Mousse Iluminee Rogue.
Razors Leaf & Blackland vector Lite plate.
Blade Feather Pro Super (5).
Aftershave Mousse Iluminee Rogue edt.

Only the very best gear for Bruce Lee today.
A tip tier shave today leaving my face feeling like Angels came along and kissed it all over.

The Mousse Iluminee Rogue edt lasts all day and night, it's expensive but you can tell it's classy and worth the extra money spent.

Have a great day ahead every

Razor = Occam’s Oren ***
Blade = Feather Pro Guard ( 3 )
Brush = Yaqi Cavern Lake
Soap = OSP Grapefruit & Menthol with
matching splash
Balm = Bart’s Balm Ben Lomond

OSP sadly missed.
i love all these soaps along with all the other British Artisans.
Well i love them all really no matter where they are from.
This 3 pass shave was particularly pleasing.
The menthol content is just right especially using in in a hot country like Africa.
it will be be a sad day when i use up all my OSP’s although iv got a couple of years to go yet.
 


Prep: Valobra Glicerlanolina Soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: TroyCraft Sapphire Amphora 3-band Silvertip Badger
Soap: Antica Barbieria Colla
Razor: Gillette Gold Super Adjustable P2 (7-7-7)
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Platinum Plus (1)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, APR Bois de santal de verveine Aftershave Lotion
Scent: Morgan’s Vintage 1873 EdC

It is a rare privilege to shave with an iconic vintage completely unused mint virgin razor. And what a superb shave it delivered. I loaded up the Gillette Gold Super Adjustable( P2) with a period-correct Gillette Platinum Plus blade, dialed it up to 7, and went at it.
Sometimes a great shave like this sends a tingle up the spine. 54 years young and remains a superb razor.

Tabac (Veg 2021) Shaving Soap & Goodfellas Smile (Omega) Pure Bristle
Gillette Tech (1940s) Bakelite & Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (1)
Tabac (Vintage) Aftershave

Carrying on with the same setup ... but switched to a 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (yellow pack) which immediately suits me better than the 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (green pack).
 
Pretty excellent shave. Broke out the lovely Valentia which really hit the spot.
To finish, a touch of Ron Burgundy's London Gentleman. I was going to go for Sex Panther but my wife said it smells like big foot's d***...

A few individuals have given excellent feedback for M&S scents. Whenever I have tried them in store, none have been appealing to me.
