SOTD Saturday 2nd December 2017 - Friday 8th December 2017

Thur 7th December
Omega 10026 boar
Fitjar Slatteroy -- sample
ER !914
Gem S/S [ 3 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

Now having a Third Vintage SE Shave, after trialling the Sabre V1. Today used the ER 1914, which has a lot of blade feel so that you really feel the whiskers disappear, as it ploughs through them. Always quite surprised how I manage to shave with this quite small razor. The Razor quietens down once the majority of whiskers are eliminated. Am pleased that I had no trouble during the Shave, and the finish was very good. IMHO probably a little better than shaves I have had with a Sabre.

I used a sample cream today, which has a Spicy/ Bay rum scent an though quite pleasant, I do not see me lashing out on a full tub - a bit more than I am prepared to pay.

What's your thoughts on the Pitralon, Mike?
 
What's your thoughts on the Pitralon, Mike?

I know you've ask Mike but I'd like to add my 2 penneth too;).

I've only used the 'Classic' (green cap) but I love the stuff. The scent is great but does hang around. The face feel is top draw too.

I can't describe the scent but it's on the 'old skool' side. Citrus and even herbal maybe.
I think we have similar tastes in colognes and I can highly recommend it. Put it this way I've just bought another bottle.;):D

@mpf9ret How do you rate The Original and does the scent last long?

Cheers
Rob
 
Body Shop Maca Root
RazoRock 400
DE 89L
Wilkinson Sword old stock Made In England
(3rd use)
Lime witch hazel
Loreal Balm
Yardley 1770 EdT

This blade and razor combo did the trick, helped along by the dependable Body Shop Maca Root Cream.
Very comfortable and relaxed three passes later and my face is svelte once more
Yardley 1770 is a quite complex scent for the price to my nose.

Shave of the day 07 December 2017 :)

Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap face wash, followed by Proraso (Green) Pre Shave Cream.
Razor - Supply-SE v2.0 Classic (**) Plate.
Blade - Personna PTFE (Day 2).
Soap - OSP Menthol and Eucalyptus Soap.
Bowl - Little Wren.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic Badger.
Post shave - OSP Menthol and Eucalyptus Splash, followed by Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturiser.

A great shave this morning, nice and relaxed, 3 pass with a fuss free BBS finish.

The Kiehl's mosturiser was a good call, given the cold weather and biting winds today. Shaved over 14 hours ago and my skin still feels great.

All the best,

Chris
