SOTD Saturday 24th September - Friday 30th

TOBS Sandalwood Cream
Steve Woodhead Ceramics shave bowl
Edwin Jagger Medium Best Badger
Merkur 34C HD
Gillette Nacet #1
Alum block, Thayer's, Fine Platinum a/s

I thought I'd try the Nacet in my Merkur; as it's quite a mild chap. Very smooth. Not quite as sharp as I was expecting; but I think it might have been the combo. I'll try it in my Fat Handle Tech; as it's slightly more aggressive and pairs well with Astra SPs.

Good blades thus far, though. Nice finish and the alum indicated no drama. They seem to have that smoothness that I associate with Personna Israeli Reds; a firm favourite.

Take care, friends.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Elite Razor Bloody Basin Jasper Manchurian White (28mm/57mm)
Westphal's shaving cream (vintage)
Feather AS-D2/Weber Bulldog
Polsilver Super Iridium (4)
Ralph Lauren Polo Green aftershave

I loaded the dried-out shaving cream directly from the jar. It required a lot of water and quite a bit of work, but it finally made good lather. No menthol, but a nice green fragrance.
