SOTD SATURDAY 10th OCTOBER TO FRIDAY 16th OCTOBER 2015

Short and sweet, military style (after a busy week-end sorting various errands around the house and planning new ones to make missus happy) - shower, Neumann Heartwood shaving soap (vegan) and balm, Muhle synthetic shaving brush, razor (unknown maker but an excellent shaver, really happy with it)

Its going to be Proraso Blue this week. I know that the scent is a little subjective in that people like it or not but putting that aside its a cracking cream none the less.

I like the liquorice scent.

Mon 12th Oct.
Went Through the Motions- to no great effect !
Omega11126
MWF
Enders Speed razor
Speed Blade
Alum Rub/Rinse Off
Myrsol Antesol. A/S.

Using this as one would an ER Natural Angle felt good, sounded like a 1912. However, ended there as the blade has degraded [needs more stropping ] as hardly any beard removal. On the bright side, no irritation, cuts or nicks.
Hope that Steve who is going to have a loan of a razor ,has a better experience.

SOTD - Monday, Day-12 Tabac-tober/OC-tober

Soap: OSP "Sandalwood"
Brush: Orchid Isles Curly Koa handle, Shavemac 23mm D01 Silvertip
Razor: 1930's Gillette NEW short comb bar handle
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)

A brilliant shave today. This new OSP soap makes killer lather which suits my skin perfectly. The sandalwood scent is very close to the old tallow Art of Shaving (Valobra) soap in strength and tones.
The short-comb NEW is a little less aggressive than my long-comb and gave me a perfect 3-pass BBS.

Medic! We have a casualty!!!

Bulldog Face Wash
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Ever Ready 100T w/Muhle Silvertip Fibre
Keen Kutter K40 (Black) & Personna (1)
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse, Alum Wash & Smash!!!
Blue Stratos Aftershave & EDT

Damn it! Moving my dish of alum onto the side my ceramic dishes Mitchell's went straight onto the floor. Lid smashed and the base cracked. I rescued the well hydrated puck into a vintage bakelite Dubarry Shaving Soap dish. I'll put a new ceramic dish on the wish list.

Feeling glum, I found an uplifting attar to raise my spirits.

Ajmal Arabian Musk - a mukhallat with floral notes of geranium, jasmine and ylang ylang, spiced with clove and nutmeg on a base of patchouli, cedar and musk.

Hi Jon,
As a matter of interest how long did you have to wait for your Phoenix Accoutrements DOC? I have been waiting for ages for mine.
Cheers
Steve
