An excellent shave - the combination of the kabuki and the Super Smooth is just terrific. Haven't worn the Halston for a while but, remembering that it was a firm favourite of St David's, I thought it appropriate to put on today.

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave - sensitive
Soap: Stirling Smart Dresses Man
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: MÜHLE Kosmo silvertip synthetic
Razor: ATT R1 Kronos
Blade: Sputnik (3)
After: Aqua Velva Musk AS, Weleda ASB

Still loving the feel of this razor. Last use of this Sputnik so I'll try another blade tomorrow; hopefully the love will continue.
It's a pity this Stirling soap has no scent because the performance and skin conditioning is wonderful. "Slick" would be my word for it.

Have a great weekend, folks.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage amber Ever Ready badger
1958 Toggle/Personna74 (NOS)
Xpec SC
Malizia Vetyver AS
vintage Armani 'eau pour homme' EdT

Three or four times a year the Toggle lets me know it's time to get that wet. Heh, I like everything about the shave, except for that toggle thingy on the end not being all that comfortable. Other than that, I like the weight and handle length although the balance is just ok. This is dialed down one number to compensate for both a real sharp blade and extra razor weight. Shaves something like a Fatboy. About 10-11 times using this blade and still good to go.

Got more Expec in, having been out for a few days. It was awful waiting for it!!!! Heh, ok, I did find other stuff to keep me distracted.

BBS results,

Martin
 
Saturday 1st March
St David's day shave

SOTD1314_zpsb3c44d60.jpg


Hot shower
Hot flannel
Jabonman Floral soap scuttle lathered
Brush made by myself, TGN finest badger 22mm
Gillette Big Boy Gold
Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Cold rinse
Thayers Lavender witch hazel
Myrsol F/extra aftershave

First outing for the Jabonman soap, this was a small sample of the 'Floral' which Manuel sent me with my recent order. The soap lathers a treat very little effort to produce a good volume of slick and moisturising lather. Finished with another Spanish product the Myrsol.
 
Monsavon
Progress on 2.5, 1.5
English Wilkinson Sword - fourth shave
Turkish no. 6
Superdrug Forest Fresh aftershave

Still very good result from the blade. These days I normally chuck my blades after 2 shaves
