Shave of the day, Saturday 27th February 2021

Razor - ATT Windsor CR
Blade - Souplex
Soap - Krokos - Abbate Y La Mantia
Brush - Alpha - Outlaw Copper, silvertip fan
Post - Thayer's Astringent

A comfortable but close shave leaving me with a BBS finish.
The Krokos soap I had not used for a while and then a couple of day's ago @Satanfriendly reminded me that I had some buried in my soap mountain! Thanks Chris!
A few spray's of Saffron Aoud to finish and I'm set for today!

@Digimonkey #midoriporn :)

Until the next time, stay safe and keep well.

Soap - La Toja Stick
Brush - GFS Wild Hog
Razor - Fat Handle Tech
Blade - Silver Star (2)
Post - Lider AS

I'm really impressed with the Wild Hog brush, it's pretty much broken in for holding lather now, it held 3 passes worth of lather from a slightly generous amount of face loading. I've used a number of Omega boars now and I think for the best part of the time the larger ones seem to break in a bit quicker than the smaller, scrubbier ones.
Second shave with the Silver Star, and it was incredibly smooth, no tugging or anything. It did all the work by the 2nd pass, but I had enough lather for a third pass and there was little to no stubble removed in that pass.
First time using the Lider AS @Pontormo sent me a few weeks back (thanks David), only recently got around to decanting it into a old spectacle cleaner bottle I had, not quite sure what the scent profile of it is but it's one I like.

Have a good weekend gents.

WIN.

I found the old Muppets Show on a streaming platform and it reminded me how much I love Jim Henson's work, I consider to be a creative genius up there with the very finest.

I occasionally watch the Bert and Ernie alien videos (the ones with the yappy mouths) and laugh a bit too much.

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Pre: Proraso Green
Soap: Proraso Green
Brush: Omega 49
Razor: 1960's Gillette Tech
Blade: Zorrik SP (2)
Post: Alum, Witch Hazel, Nivea Balm

No nonsense runaround today. The Zorrik is still not doing it for me - in fact I'd go as far as to say it made the Tech look bad. I'll break my own rule next week and put a Zorrik through a third razor - the Parker R22. If it's still poor, then PIF pile it will be. Life's too short and blades too numerous to put up with mediocrity ;)
 
Saturday

TOBS Cedarwood Cream
RazoRock Plissoft 24mm synth
Face lather
Gillette New Improved (England, 1922)
Gillette Silver Platinum (1)
Thayer’s Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Fine American Blend after shave

A nice slow shave today. No choice, really; unless bloodletting is desired. The New Improved is a heavy razor (77g) and you can’t whip it round your chops with impunity the same way as lighter fellows. It has to be the weight used.

Smooth as you like. 2 passes and a wee touch up; feeling nearer to 3.

Ditch those horrid blades and load a Voskhod, Gillette Silver Blue or Platinum
