Brush: MOAR Boar
Soap: HoM Shire 2
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather ProGuard
Post: HoM Shire 2 AS

Slept in this morning so the vector was needed, something swift and close. This thing definitely fits that description, quick and easy lather followed by the SE squeegee.

Smooth and smelling good, hope everyone has a grand one.

Cheers

An early morning shave which is tiredly reported with the theme, 'The questionable legalities of 1am'

20231017_175556.jpg

1:00am - Tatara Nodachi
1:01am - Kyone
1:02am - Cadman 24mm Tuxedo
1:03am - Penhaligons Bayolea soap
1:04am - Collegen
1:05am - Extro Arzachena splash


'Sleeping with Satan'

An early morning rise to take Mrs Satanfriendly to the airport as she disappears to Marbella for five days away with the girls. Hurrah, hurrah for airplanes and long distances. Hurrah's aside I do have to question whether 1am is actually legal or not. My general feeling is that the early hours of the morning should be made illegal.

What is legal though is to have the right to a damn good shave. Another blade from @NotTheStig and yet another I'd never heard of, the Kyone. But what a smashing blade it turned out to be. I found it exceptionally sharp, exceptionally smooth and exceptionally at home in the Nodachi. Throw on a great soap in the Bayolea and enjoy the relaxation of removing it all and the enjoyment of being wonderfully refreshed. And all I can think, beards should be made illegal..... together with early morning hours.

Have a fantastic day you fantastic folk and as a show of my love I give you Diesel Ann. A first showing here on TSR




And possibly the last
 
Yesterday I cleaned up my closet with shaving stuff and to my surprise found one of my former regular buddies while travelling: an Old Spice Shaving Stick, according to what is stated on the bright red holder produced by Shulton in New York and Paris. At least twenty years old and no longer available now. The AS of the same brand is still there - as I read on the internet -. This morning I tried the stick again, with the necessary reserves. Big surprise: it is all still there. I lathered up in my shaving bowl and that gave a nice, rich and smooth lather. I also recognized the smell: a bit of old-barberstyle (wood, leather...). All in all, it was a great shave. This also says something about the shelf life of shaving soaps. By the way, does anyone know if this antique Old Spice may be marketed somewhere in a new jacket?

Wed 18th October

Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
Jayaruh Syn No 67
Vitos Super Red
Schick J3 Hydro Magic 500
NOS Schick Platinum- Sweden ( 1 )

Quite a rare occurence today as had difficulty loading a fresh blade, managed not to insert it properly and missed far stop.After a bit of a fiddle sorted things out. Got the Vitos spot on, was really very creamy and helped the Shave go well. Very rarely do I get anything but a smooth and comfortable Shave with this Razor.

Superb shave this morning. The Green Ray is a very different brush to my favourite Simpsons, very soft and not at all resilient, nevertheless, it always creates a great lather with a soft cream or a hard soap. Two smooth passes and a first class result.

A crackin shave with the "Mild" and efficient 7'O'clock Gem razor. Another feat of Vintage design and engineering.
3 passes for an easy, comfortable, BBS finish.
I have about 1 shave left in this tube of Erasmic, i cannot complain for what it costs, it has always given great lathers and is cheap enough to overload new Boar brushes when breaking them in.
Enjoy your day all.
