SOTD : Saturday 4th July - Friday 10th July 2020

10/7/20

Brush - Omega 10075
Soap - Intesa Cream
Razor - Old Type
Blade - Lancet Super Platinum (3)
Post - Witch Hazel
Balm - Nivea Cooling Kick
AS - Intesa Glacial Lotion

One of those shaves that didn't quite go as well as it could have done but was fine enough.

Have a good Friday gents, the weekend is almost upon us.
 
Prep- warm shower
Razor- Merkur Futur
Blade- Gillette Rubie (2)
Brush- Trafalgar T3
Soap- MDC (citrus sample)
A/S- Epsilon Mediterranean blue

Great shave today. Didn't need to rush so took my time and enjoyed every second. Loved the MDC soap sample. I get why it's so popular. Yes it's expensive but I might need to add it to my rotation.
Splashed on some Epsilon and I was done. Didn't even need any balm. Effortless bbs.

MdC seems expensive when you first look at it but it lasts and lasts and hardly seems to go down so it works out to be great value for money considering what a quality soap it is. :) P.

Really enjoyed it. Scent wasn't what I would normally go for but it was lovely. Really does seem good value. 7.5ml sample and I will probably get 4 or 5 shaves out of it. Definitely will be ordering some soon.
 
How is the Irish Coffee shaving soap? Does it smell like real Irish Coffee?
Hi and thanks for asking! To my nose and mine wifey, it does smell of a rich aromatic creamy sweet coffee. When I first open the tub it in the bedroom...it smell entirely of it. Now only smell in the bathroom during shaving time. It remained a rich sweet creamy coffee scent on every shave. I am not so sure about Irish Coffee scent as I haven't smell it before but perhaps it is...
I really love the scent and save it to use sparingly as I bought only a 2oz sample...

Sounds wonderful! :) P.
 
Late posts but we had a bit of a setback with Mrs TC, i got her back out of hospital yesterday. It was a bit of a scary time especially for her, loads of tests but she is back on the mend.
Stay safe and enjoy your Friday shaves All.
That's good news. It's much better recovering at home rather than in hospital, especially at the moment as no visitors are allowed.

Fri 10th July
Cyril Salter / MS. ED2band
Lea Classic soap
Occams Hiram Commander No3 plate
Feather Proguard ( 7 )
Lea Classic A/S lotion

Today well out of my chosen rotation again, I used the heavyweight of the Occams Family. The Hiram despite its weight / bulk is very easy to use, and I get surprisingly good quality Shaves with it, even today with a below par lather.Not got a lather like that for years just too wet a brush.

SOTD 10/7/20

Another new soap for me and one I was looking forward to, but....it was tough work! I've read of all the difficulties people have had with MWF and despite blooming my puck etc I still struggled.

If anything I had too much water. Lather was fine and bubbly and didn't last long when applied to my face, pleasant basic scent though. Plenty of room for improvement with this soap, not quite send it to the shower time yet :LOL:

Have a nice weekend everyone.
