SOTD : Saturday 23th May - Friday 29th May 2020

[Wazzer3]

A&E L'Orange Verte
SOC Cherrywood boar
Gibbs 15 adjustable razor
Gillette Silver Blue #2 notched
A&E L'Orange Verte AS

Super shave removing two days heavy growth with excellent A&E products. Set the razor to 5 the second widest setting for first pass then N for second, the razor is superb in my opinion. Try to keep on two feet during these heavy winds!

Sat 23rd SOTD
Soap The Goodfellas Smile Italian Orange
Bowl Turkish Copper
Brush Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia
Razor Gillette Fatboy F4
Blade Gillette Nacet SS 3rd
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic Acid + Aqua Velva Musk
Again...over do with lathering.... scoop out just peanut size of the soap and working it with the brush in the bowl produces a very satisfyingly nice lather. Lovely & lasting orangy/citrusy scent. Really nice brush for lathering.
Shave with FB paired with the blade felt good and surprisingly smooth. Set 9 for 1st pass and set 7 for the rest. Total 3 nice & comfortable multiple passes. Between BBS & DFS result. Rating 9/10. Have a great weekend everyone!

RR 400.SE-Plissoft noir
Lea Classic soap
Occams - Oren/ Plate 3.
Feather Proguard [ 8 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion
I have had some excellent Shaves over the last week, but this unlikely looking Razor always takes me by surprise. Smooth and Comfortable and without any real effort this combo just clears away any growth, leaving my skin smooth and refreshed.Perhaps does not have the looks and mystique of other Razors, but it really delivers superb Shaves.

Here's a tough one for you Mike: Which would you choose if you could only have either the Oren or the Hawk V3?

Sotd - Saturday the 23rd of May

Prep - facial scrub
razor - Gillette Slim (3)
blade - Nacet (crocodylus porosus - 2)
brush - Simpsons Case
soap - SV - Tundra Artica
post - witch hazel
a/s - Floid - mentally vigorous
balm - Floid
scent - Gotas Frescas.

Result? Crap day - nice shave. I'd forgotten how good SV soap is - I still can't for the life of me work out what it is supposed to smell of - read the scent profile but that doesn't help much. Have a good weekend - cheers - I.

Only had 9 outings on The Hawk V3, but I suspect that long term it would be The Oren, as old age beckons and it is easy to use to great effect.

That's high praise for the Occam

Saponificio Varesino Tundra Artica is my favourite scented soap ( SV is my favourite soap base full stop).
I've spent years looking for a matching fragrance. Some months ago I finally found a match. It's Acqua Di Parma Ambra. It's not cheap but very close to Tundra Artica. I only have a decant at the moment but in the future I will buy a full bottle.

First use of the Merkur Futur on setting 1 what a beast of a razor with a W.S blade.
