Well it's a couple of minutes past midnight and I was about to post my SOTD but realised it is no longer Friday, so a new thread it was!

I had some irritation on my neck from shaving with the OneBlade followed by the Ikon B1 Slant so have given it a few days before shaving, that and I've been very busy!

With that in mind I went to @Acer89 tried and trusted ATT S2 which even though I've only used a few times, I knew would get the job done with no fuss and that was the correct assumption to make.

Loaded up with a fresh Astra SP and lathered up with 1912 Citrus Musk with the Black Beauty ATG Shavemac Unique Bulb. Two passes and 5/6 days growth was gone and I was left smooth all over with no irritation. Happy days. Wishing you all a good weekend, I'm off to Mumbai tomorrow evening so my next SOTD is very likely to be in warmer weather!

RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
Wiliams A.V Ice Blue Cream
ES Claymore S/S SE
Feather Pro Guard [ 4 ]
Williams A.V Ice Blue A/S Lotion

Have had 4 consecutive shaves with The Claymore,all with excellent results. Am surprised that others trying
some of the new SEs , do find consecutive days shaving a problem. Perhaps this is down to blade choice,the Pro Guard which a Claymore user recommended is working well for me. I have suffered no nicks and no post shave irritation.
Am missing rotating razors, but will continue getting used to this one until a blade change is due. So far am really
enjoying the Claymore, and it is a welcome addition to my shaving den.

2nd OSP cream of my recent acquisition. The Sicilian Lemon is like sharp lemon zest accompanied by an aromatic undertone. Wonderful.
Pure admiration for the Streamline, the shave was extremely agreeable.

Shave well all !!
 
Maca root,
Omega pura setola,
Frederick Reynolds 6/8 near wedge,
Thayers unscented witch hazel,
L' adventure sample,

I received the FR on Thursday,I gave it a light hone to bring it up to shave ready, it may or may have not needed it, I seem to like razors with a bit of heft, and this one didn't disappoint, only need my face to stop looking like a baboons arse, after using the maca root, apart from that it's such a great soap.

Brush: APShaveCo synthetic "Tuxedo" / bamboo handle.
Shaving soap: Dusy Kabinett.
Razor: Fatip Retro.
Blade: Asco Super Stainless (orange wrapper) (2).
After shave: Haslinger Sandelholz balm.

Used my new brush (aka "Nieuw kwastje (23)") to whip up my lather.
Made a nice lather (fragrance of roses) with this wonderful brush.
The Fatip/Asco combo worked great.
Finished it off with the Haslinger balm.

DFS++ result.

Have a nice day, gentlemen ! ;)
 
Brush - Semogue 1520
Soap - Tabac Original
Face lather
Razor - Ever Ready pat. 1912 'Bathroom Set'
Blade - Gem Personna #2
Post - Thayer's, Tabac Original a/s

First outing for the 'Bathroom Set'. As expected with the 1912 patented heads, I got a lovely audible 'toasty' feedback and it resulted in a tremendously close and smooth 3-pass finish.

I like the hollow aluminium handle: very grippy and, despite its lightness, the overall balance of the razor is really good. Tabac? Well, what can I say...:)

Have a great day/night/evening, Everyone.
