SOTD : Saturday 11th June - Friday 17th June 2022.

[Duffers782]

Sunday:

Much earlier today, way before I went and ran the Potter's Arf I gave myself a reasonable shave choosing something light. I may not have been that quick, but at least I was well shorn, as I had a fresh haircut yesterday too. Attempting to stop the sweat pouring down my face.

Actually, for next to no preparation training didn't do too badly.

Reapplied a bit of splash after my shower.

Major League Baseball Hall of Fame opened on this date in 1939 in Cooperstown, NY. So, although he was excluded from the Hall, let's celebrate 'Shoe Joe' Jackson today.

Rooney 1/2 Faux Horn Finest (24/50)
Ralph Lauren Safari shaving soap (tallow)
Paradigm 17-4/UFO Common Bar Prototype
Wilkinson Light Brigade (12)
Ralph Lauren Safari aftershave (vintage)

The Safari soap is a great old one, especially when the lather is whipped up by a relatively stiff brush like the Rooney. The UFO prototype handle, one of only two made, is a bit short for my hand, but it balances the 17-4 head perfectly.

Meissner Tremonia 'Amber' Bay & Rum pre-Market Test Candidate Shaving Soap
DSC Professional w/Synbad Synthetic 26mm
Muhle Rocca Jet & Personna Comfort Coated

Same setup as yesterday, but subbed in my newly knotted DS Cosmetics handle with an AP Shave Co Synbad 26mm which is everything I hoped it would be - super-soft and one hell of a (face) latherer.

A super smooth shave with the Karve E plate and GSB. The Signature soap provided excellent cushion and slick, and the Leodis splash gave a tasteful finish. I love this scent.

Another wonderful Sunday shave with the Vector, two passes and an easy, smooth result. The Yaqi Heavy Metal is tiny compared to yesterday’s PAA brush, but still holds its own producing plentiful lather with the magnificent Leodis soap. A great start to the day.

Thank you, it’s a nice fragrance for this time of year. Best Regards Brian

Brush Yaqi 24mm Goblin Husky Knot
Razor Gillette Rocket HD
Blade Shick Super Stainless 2nd
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Stirling Sharp Dressed Man Splash
A very nice soap indeed with the peppermint scent obvious and refreshing. The lather is just impeccably creamy and slick...
Another vintage razor & blade day. The blade is really something...paired with this razor with an added shim, it provided silky smooth and efficient shaves but still found 2 micro red spots! 3passes for a dfs+ finish. The aftershaves were just terrific combinations for the hot humid weather...

Thanks Richard. As always, amazing how you create the “ice cream” lather on the brush.

Nice enough qualities from the soap. Like the scent and the lather...the best is the marvelously awesome brush... a very soft and plush feel...so good!
Another excellent shave with the vintage razor paired with the blade. Uneventful, smooth, and comfortable in 3passes for a bbs/dfs finish. The aftershaves were good, just unable to last longer...

SOTD 13-June

Brush: Simpson Colonel
Soap: LEA Stick
Razor: Blackland Tradere
Blade: Feather HS (1)
Post: Barts Ben Kilbreck

Very smooth finish with a two pass WTG/ATG, though I've been getting on relatively well with the feather in the WR2 it was less fun in the Tradere. It is only the first run so it may smooth out but I may stick with the GSB/Nacets in this razor, being smooth from the off, unless there's an absolute revelation tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a grand kick off to the week.

Cheers

Marc

Monday:

Very enjoyable shave this morning. I'm BBS without really trying, probably means I've got the pressure right on this much lighter Tech than the one I usually go for - only taken a week!

As this is one of my favourite scents, I smell bloody lovely too (if I do say so myself)

Hope everyone has a good day

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap,
Soap: Rasozero Agrumella
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Gillette Super Blue (1)
Post: Barber Lemon cologne, Bart's Ben Vorlich lotion.

The Rasozero - just like its tobacco sibling - is a great performer but is the most wishy washy scented soap I own. Bit of smell from the tub, nothing when lathered. Still the spray and lotion citrussed me up enough to leave me happy and the dentist at my morning appointment not overwhelmed
