Though one of the early AC/SE Razors and for some folk rather heavy, it uses that weight to great effect if one lets the weight work by using a light touch with no pressure. Have discovered that it really works well with a Kai Pink blade , so today had another quality hassle free Shave.

Another fantastic example of vintage design and creation in the Pall Mall Wilkinson Sword. This version takes a Standard GEM and the "Safety" roller is adjustable. It is an absolute privilege to use.
I set the roller just under halfway for an XTG pass then backed off the efficiency by setting the roller just forward of the halfway for a very comfortable ATG pass. I checked my technique with an Alum rub which gave no indication. A nice post shave routine has left me BBS and comfortable with a massive grin on my face.
Enjoy your day all.
 
3rd run for this Kai Pink in my Hawk V3A. I haven't used the SV for a while so out it came. This stuff works brilliantly and seemingly lasts forever. Of course I used my TSR LE walnut and cashmere, which I tend to pick every time it's had time to dry as it's so good. 3 error-free passes for a comfortable and close shave. Bio oil and Zara Vibrant Leather Oud for the finish. Feels and smells great, shame I shan't be leaving the house today.

A shave free of reference to organisations with a link to testicles.

However the secrecy continues as this SOTD does arrive with the theme 'XXX'

20231107_150237.jpg

XXX Razor - 3ONE6
XXX Blade - Feather
XXX brush - AP Shaving 24mm Cashmere
XXX soap - :censored:
XXX moisturiser - Collegen
XXX scent - Floris Elite

As you may have deduced the secret item is in fact, Signature Soaps male lipstick. Something I have churned over for months


'And even less at practising application'

The 3ONE6 is fast becoming a very trustful and reach for razor. It isn't going to win any prizes for material finish (although well engineered in regards to fit and accuracy. A bit like the result of a Rolls Royce if made by Citroën), it will win prizes in my little world for being efficient, smooth and giving superlative results. Superlative being one of my reach for 'wank words' of the moment. This evening it delivered a most smashing finish, and avoided the word, superlative.

Once again the secret shaving ingredient played its part towards a happy ending to my shaving story for this shave.

And they all lived happily ever after. After what I have no idea.

On the matter of XXX, I was Googling for places to pawn a set of car hubs when I came across a Web site which even shocked me. And to make matters worse there was my video I made mention of the other night. I later found out my Mother-in-law had gained a few quid for allowing them to publish it in a public place being as she was on my email list. If I'd have known that I would have quite happily paid her the $1200 I had to send to some chap's crypto account. What a hoot though, and she does have a great sense of humour so God bless her.


I suppose it is Japanese girly time and in this case including some bloke who has a bigger issue than me. Why it's the return of Lady Baby....

SOTD: 06/11/2023

Razor: Blackland Era
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless , 1st use
Brush: Highlander Olive Wood Boti New Tuxedo
Bowl: HC&C Black Straight Wall Bowl
Preshave: Bart’s Balms Lochnagar Oil
Soap: A&E Vida Puck
Aftershave: A&E Vida Aftershave
Balm: Liz Earle Aftershave Balm Balm

For some reason I got this soap out and wasn’t sure about it when I opened it up. It’s been consistently in my top 5 for ages but it was as if I was smelling something new and I didn’t like it! Thankfully a quick lather and the nose woke up and all the elements I loved were back! I initially thought I might have to contemplate moving it on but my inner soap hog is satisfied I want to keep it! Probably a cold coming on!

Somewhat tangential, but I really think @Satanfriendly deserves some sort of award for most entertaining SotD posts, both quantitatively and qualitatively. And consistently so.
Oh and nice beaver.

I disagree entirely. The man should be barred forever for writing his annoying incessant prolonged waffle, in other words drivel. Quantitive, yes, quality, questionable.

If there was any award to be made it would be the 'Barbed wire underpants of the year award' where he should be forcefully made to wear them. Probably much to his pleasure.

It is perhaps more objectionable that the man actually enjoys shaving. Between that and appearing on Pornographic Web sites. Or so he says. Apparently because he's a tight arsed git who refuses to pay bribes or Mother-in-laws.

But he does have good taste in Japanese girly music.

And I do most definitely annoy myself. But hey, you are correct 'Nice Beaver'
