Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: Barrister's Reserve Cool
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Aqua Beaux Silvertip Premium synthetic
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Gillette Super Blue (1)
Post: Denim Original ASL

The Reserve Cool has found its perfect partner. I knew what to expect quality and scent wise from the soap, but I was ill-prepared for the Denim once out of the bottle. An initial smash of aniseed, which I have no recollection of from the eighties! That soon dissipated to leave a fresh yet spicy scent followed by a ton of leather! I love it, although it does have short shelf life on the skin. Only one thing to add - go on Biff, give it some welly :cool:

Feb. 1, 2022 - Ambassador Rex is back

  • Prep: Face wash
  • Brush: Declaration grooming B11 28mm Snowblivion
  • Razor: Rex Ambassador
  • Blade: Dorco Titan (1)
  • Lather: Saponificio Varesino - 70th Anniversary - Soap
  • Post Shave: Saponificio Varesino - 70th Anniversary - Aftershave
Yet another quick and easy morning shave - was getting a bit bored of going through chaotic neutral so decided to mix it up a bit and dig out the SV 70th anniversary.

Brilliant performance and great scent as always - 3 passes for DFS+ with one small weeper. Kept the Ambassador to 2 so on fairly mild side for it - however been a while since I used it... probably will stick with it throughout this whole week just to get familiar with it again.

I must say I'm quite surprised by myself - in January, I've barely made any purchases... As much as I'm not doing GRUYE, I do try to keep the purchases to minimum... in first year of wetshaving I amassed enough of gear to last me for a good 5 years... if not longer hah! That's the price of such fun hobby I guess!

Enjoy your shaves Ladies and Gentlemen.
 
Tue 1st February

Alpha G4 Syn 28mm
Cyril Salter Solid soap
Schick N3
Schick S/S Twin Japan ( 6 )
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

The elegant N3 coupled with a Twin Blade delivers a really quality Shave, provided one does not try to rush.The finish attained matches those delivered by many Vintage/Modern SE Razors.

Brush - Omega 10075
Soap - Vitos Red Coco
Razor - Fat Handle Tech
Blade - Bic Chrome Platinum (2)
Post - Lea Balm
AS - Benjamins Bay Rum w/menthol

Superb lather today, I'm really loving using my small 10075, which easily holds enough lather for a 3 pass shave, but I only did the 2 passes. A nice comfortable shave with the Bic CP in a Fat Handle Tech.

Thank you Tony. Regards Brian
 
Evening all,

Prep, hot water and a flannel
Brush, PAA Aerolyte
Razor, Razorock Gamechanger 64
Blade, Shavemax Diamond Edge (3rd and final use)
Soap, Cella Red Pot
A/S, Bond Spacequest

The soap lathered up very nicely. A great and not overpowering scent. Went on well and provided a good level of protection.

A nice 3 grain pass. Zero issues / cuts etc. Very happy with the results, feels nice and clean and close. Another great DE shave.

I did think about going for a 4th use with the blade but I thought why risk it. I have a lot of blades to use up and I don’t normally go past 3 uses. And if the blade feels rough after 2 I’ll change it.

Best,

Ben

Rooney 1/2 Ivory Finest (24/53)
Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender shaving cream (vintage)
Carbon Mokume-gane Brass/R2 Copper
Personna 74 Tungsten (1)
Yardley English Lavender aftershave (vintage)

A wonderful shave. The cream has a bright, uncomplicated lavender scent that matches the aftershave really well. And for some reason it has remained a true cream over the years, with no apparent drying.

Soap: ESC Fuar Ach Snog

The winner has been decided. The Merkur 37C will remain in the den and the RazoRock German 37 will hit the BST on the weekend. It's a fine razor but I prefer the Merkur.
