'Oh my oh my, lady has a fantasy and I end up with this pair?'

Two days of fluff to remove and so I called upon the Big M to come and do its duties. And boy oh boy didn't it do well. In fact it managed a climatic finish with a damn good performance of Pornographic shaving at its very best. And not all a one horse show with team lather putting in a magnificent effort with pre-show fluffing.

Wonderful end to end. And smiles at both ends.

And a double shaving show needs a double bit of Japanese lady music. Super Junky Monkey? I thought that as well

The other end of the story....

Double ended fun - Ikon B1
Which end? - Polsilver Lodz
Fluffer - AP Shaving 24mm Cashmere
Full facial - Signature Soaps Condate
Smell the glove - Chanel pour Monsieur


'Vous cherchez une dame avec un gant et un pot de lubrifiant?'

Just when I thought shaving life couldn't get any better up rattles the Ikon B1 just to prove a point. May be the Lodz was on its last legs but it still managed to put in a final superb performance before destiny sent it to the blade bank. Please note, not the same bank as once used by Nigel Farage before his debankification. Hurrah, Hurrah for sensible banking.

Condate? The new Londinium? Not far off

More Super Junky Monkey I hear you cry. Very obliging to torture your souls some more...





Bizzaro, but I love you all

A Great shave to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

Brilliant shave that, i have really enjoyed using the Blackland "Big Fella" this week.
Another luscious lather, 3 passes when i could have got away with 2 and a final face wash in the excess lather.
Maybe a bit too close as i had some fleeting, minor indication from the splash today.
Belated Congratulations on your anniversary @ekeko, i hope you had a great time.

Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
 
SOTD 27-July
20230726_172730.jpg
Brush: C&H 'Finned' V14
Soap: Summer Breaks Homecoming
Razor: CG Everyday
Blade: Wizamet
Post: Summer Breaks Homecoming AS

Entertaining shave, the overall theme being Lavender, and is a lovely scent. May consider more Summer Break soaps of they're this good.

The challenge for today was an outdoor shave, unfortunately I live in North Wales so the weather isn't conducive to a good outdoor experience, and I wasn't let down. It was chucking it down. I was going to head over to Dolbadarn Castle but couldn't get parked up, so went to Padarn Lake instead. Terrible weather but an entertaining experience!

Still fun and a good finish despite trying to use a sodden phone as a mirror with the camera reversed.

Hope everyone has had a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

Gillette Old
Rhino blade (3)
Vulfix Grosvenor brush
Aleppo soap pre-shave
Chiseled Face Summer Storm shaving soap
Proraso Green AS

A coworker gifted me some Chiseled Face samples so I decided to lead off with Summer Storm. It leads with a petrichor note, but it's a softer take on it that I really like. I've always gotten along well with the CF base, and this one was no exception. I used some Aleppo soap today for my preshave, and it's a different experience. It isn't a shave product, but a heavy olive oil based soap simple soap recipe and I'm seeing how my face does with it. So far so good. The Rhino was great again in the Gillette Old, and you can't beat Proraso Green on a hot summer day. BBS.
