Giving it the love it deserves Wayne. Good on you!SOTD: 030917 (PM)

Brush: Maseto 30mm finest
Blade: Astra SP #2
Razor: Fatipe Piccolo
Soap: Calani Bay Rum
Post: Aloe Vera 100% Gel
Splash: Captain Scurvy
Another beautiful 3 pass shave was had with the second use of my newly acquired Fatipe Piccolo. Really impressed with this razor. If anyone is looking to try an "Open Comb" razor for the first time then look no further IMO.
It really is that good. Once again thank you @Barry Giddens it is a razor I shall treasure.
Maseto performed its magic with a face lather using the Calani Bay Rum soap gifted to me by the wonderful @wayne mattison . You are a credit to this forum my friend.
The soap is amazing in scent, cushion, slickness and above all my skin feels sublime post shave.
Finishing off with a splash of Captain Scurvy Black Ship I feel relaxed and looking forward to a few films this evening.
Enjoy your shaves.

Four shaves into my first month with a DE razor.
Tonight's shave (UK):
Bull Dog face wash
TOBS Sandalwood
Omega 49 boar bristle
Gillette Tech
Astra Platinum
Little bit of alum...
Proraso After Shave Balm
Sooooo much better than last shave. Still some irritation (i think from losing the correct angle) but far less blood

Today's shave
Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap face wash.
Razor - Supply SE Injector, Plate **.
Blade - Persona PTFE Coated Injector Blade (Day 2).
Soap - Executive Shaving - Natural Shave Cream.
Bowl - Little Wren.
Brush - Simpsons Duke 2 Best Badger.
Post shave - Myrsol 'Plastic' Shave Splash, followed by Myrsol Emulsion.
A three pass DFS with the Supply SE. I am enjoying shaving with the Supply SE - I am finding the ** plate to be a little on the mild side for my liking (YMMV). However, this is a great razor, nice design, feel and it gives a very comfortable shave.
All the best,
Chris

Greetings
Monday 4th September 2017
Prep: Shower
Razor: Ninfa
Blade: Filarmonica
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Tabac Stick
Aftershave: Simple Moisteriser
EDP: Dior Homme Intense
A great shave, this filarmonica blade is so thin and so easy to prepare. I am less keen on this brush whilst it has a really nice ergonomic handle the knot is too stiff for me, I think this is because the loft seems a little short. For those wanting a Plissoft brush with a good amount of backbone this would be a good choice.
Regards
Dick.

~SOTD~ 4th September MondayPrep....Shower ~ Olive Oil Soap
Razor....Gem Micromatic OC
Blade....Gem MM SE NOS
Soap....Klar ~ Kabinett
Bowl....Little Wren Pottery
Brush....Cadman Bell TGN Silvertip
Post....BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent....Minotaure by Paloma Picasso
The Gem MMOC was a razor well ahead of its time, with its TTO mechanism ( before Gillette ) , its modern looks even today and to think this was produced from 1930 .......fantastic. Anyway before this turns into a full blown reveiw of the MMOC on with the shave.
Paired with the freshly stropped NOS blade this razor is hard to beat, it just glided through the wonderful Klar Kabinett lather taking my stubble with it, so close, so smooth and without any irritation whatsoever, I'm loving this razor! I finnished off with the wonderful BBA PSB and then a body spray of Minotaure , smooth faced and smelling great, a great Monday shave.
Have a happy Monday people.....

Proraso Sandalwood Soap
Turkish Copper Shave Bowl
Omega 10098 Boar Brush
Gem Featherweight with GEM SS Blade
Alum Block and Rinse
Naissance Aloe Vera Gel
Proraso Sandalwood AS
Molecule 04 Javanol EDP
First shave with the Gem Featherweight and I was impressed. Didn't feel as if it was doing much during the shave....but the results were excellent. The feel and result for me was akin to shaving with the Sabre. 3 passes for a BBS shave and no touchup required.
