Shave of the day Saturday 12th August- Fri 18th August 2017

Wonderful beard and head shave with an unbranded chrome version of the head Maggard sells as its V3A and Razorock as the Mentor. Boss Razor handle. I never cared for the always mismatched gunmetal finish of the V3A. This is a noisy and blade feely mofo but with the BIC had no problem going ATG on my head for a 2 pass plus BBS. I like it. $5.17 shipped (eBay).
and where might I find one of these heads? :p what might I be searching for? :p

Many thanks to @Paul L for the wonderful Spitfire and the equally wonderful Wilkie blade.
I spent quite a bit of the wtg xtg two pass shave, wondering what the scent of this slick soap reminded me of. Meanwhile the razor and blade combo dealt effortlessly with +one days growth.
Conclusion, I think it's Dentyne chewing gum.

WTG / ATG
Allume Di Rocca Naturale
Pitralon – Classic

Second but last shave with the Star Kampfe Bros. Lather Catcher. Too aggressive for my skin for an every day use. No visible injuries and my skin turned not red. I have a true BBS after two passes but although handling the razor with no pressure I feel some itching on my beard areas after the shave. A sure sign that my skin got some micro injuries. The Wickham´s Irish Fern did a great job. Nice rich, slick and creamy lather and I like the scent very much, too. It is not a real Fougere scent but it fits perfect with the scent of my Pitralon Classic aftershave.

This Sunday`s late morning shave was accompanied by some early Roxy Music songs.



Wishing you all a relaxing Sunday and enjoyable shaves.
