S.O.T.D. Saturday 13th May to Friday 19th May 2017

Prep - Shower
Razor - DE89
Blade - Voskhod (4)
Soap - Palmolive Stick
Brush - Omega 80265
Passes - WTG, XTG (2)
Post Shave - cold water
After Shave - Superdrug Forest Fresh

I'm not sure if I have been drinking after shave splash but there seemed to a little more sharpness in the Voskhod on the 4th shave than the last two. In the last 4 days I used Vitos Red, Cella and Proraso Green, all great performers but building today's lather with the Palmolive soap seemed to be the one I was most pleased with.
 
Wednesday am shave

Still testing the balm, so far it's fantastic and lasts a good 7 hours!

TOBS Sandalwood was my first shaving cream. Great stuff!
 
Birthday shave!

My first use of Wool Fat Soap and the RazoRock 400 plissoft noir
Both performed well, and I'm looking forward to using them more.
I used a tester of Black Orchid at the weekend and I can't tell the difference between it and the Oud 24 Hours.
Thanks to those of you guy's who recommended the Oud.

Chinese takeaway devoured and chocolate cake will be served soon !

Pre Shave: Hot Shower, L'Oreal Pure Power Face Wash and Proraso White
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: BIC Astor (#3)
Brush: Maseto 2 band finest 24mm
Soap : La Toja stick
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphrey's Witch Hazel
AS: Lucido + some pure Aloe Vera.

2 pass shave again today, usually I do 3, the BIC Astor blade is pretty efficient in the Fatip and I even managed one very small nick which I have not done for quite a while. I will put this down to user error as I have been under the weather lately, man flu according to the in house medical consultant. The Maseto brush did a fine job of face lathering with the La Toja stick. I was obviously not using a light enough touch hence the nick and the slight burn in places post shave, so I decided to whip out the 100% Aloe Vera and this worked a treat soothing the burn in no time.

Hi Marco,
Do you rate the Saponificio Varesino Monoi de Tahiti?

Cheers
Rob
Hi Rob,
Preformance is very good, the product softens the stubbles and it feels good on the skin. Under normal room temperature, it has a consistency like soft butter, as soon as you apply it to your face, it becomes liquid because of the body warmth.
During winter, with warm and dry climate in the house, I had issues as the Monoi became liqid already in the can.
