Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend,It's been a while since i last used the parker 24C,and forgot how smooth this non-aggressive ,but efficient open comp razor can perform. It paired up wonderfully with the voskhod blade resulting in a 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. A superb shave.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Duru ~ mandarin Cologne.

My face is super smooth & smelling wonderful.;)

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:​
 
Today's shave:

- De Vergulde Hand
- Balea Bristle
- Merkur 42c with ASP blade
- Isana Dark Ocean aftershave

:)

This was a bit of a nostalgic shave. The humble Balea was my very first brush, and I still like to take it for a spin every once in a while. The TVH cream and the Merkur I both got during my first year of wet shaving. It is my understanding that the TVH cream is no longer being produced (and has only been produced for a few years), which is a real shame. The clean scent is very similar to the TVH soap, somewhere between laundry and ocean, and the lather quality is pretty much impeccable. And one habit I have kept since the beginning is my penchant for using cheap aftershave - to this day I have never paid more than ten bucks for a bottle (although I do own a few more valuable ones now which I traded or purchased lightly used via BST), which leaves me with more money to spend on brushes and soaps... ;)

Prep ~ Shower, Birch Tar Soap
Razor ~ Valet closed bar
Blade ~ Feather
Soap ~ Barrister And Mann - Lavanille
Brush ~ Razorock Silvertip Synthetic
Post ~ Barrister And Mann - Lavanille Aftershave
Scent ~ Guerlain Jicky EDT

I think this soap will be one of those marmite soaps as far as the scent goes, I love it.....its earthy and leathery with a touch of Lavender, Cedar and dirty vanilla. The soap is dark brown and lathers up to a light brown, to me the scent is fab and the aftershave splash to match.
I used my trusty Valet closed bar for the shave and as always it performed wonderfully. A great all round shave finnished off with the last of my Guerlain Jicky EDT.

Have a great weekend people .........:)

Saturday 27th January

Palmolive Shave cream with added Birch Tar and Cade EO
Giles Shaving Co Bowl
Semogue 830 Boar Brush
Gillette TTO A1 Razor with a Treet Durasharp Carbon Steel Blade

Last night I found 3 vintage Gillette razors in an old box which has travelled with me over the years. It is only proper for me to give them a run out.
A very nice shave indeed. This razor is milder than what I am accustomed to. I had to struggle to avoid applying pressure. However 3 passes and some buffing gave a very smooth shave indeed:) It will be interesting to see how long this lasts!

Have a great weekend!

What do you think of the RazoRock BC, Paul? I find I'm almost exclusively using the RazoRock synths. S.

I like it well enough, but synths will never replace natrual hair brushes for me but because of the soap I was using today and it's ability to dye natrual hair brushes I thought I would use one of my Synths. :) P.
