Saturday 13th June SOTD

Soap - Proraso Green
Brush - Simpson Trafalgar T3
Razor - Timeless 0.68 SS Scalloped
Blade - Gillette Platinum (1)
Post - Proraso Green ASL



The Proraso soap has been left unused for well over two years, and it still performs perfectly.
Lots of rich creamy lather with no detectable loss of scent.
The Timeless/Gillette Platinum pairing was literally as smooth as silk throughout the shave.
Finished with the matching Proraso Green ASL.

PreShave: Warm to hot water, most from the boiled kettle some from the tap
Cream: Santa Maria Novella
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled T&H cream bowl
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade Polsilver SI (2)
Post Shave: Alum

Fragrance: Floris Jermyn Street

Another smooth BBS shave with the Futur, set at 5, 5, and 4. Bit of a problem with initial lathering, but after a re-lather, it made for a nice shave.

Lea Classic soap
RazoRock S/S Hawk V3-A plate
Schick Proline [ 8 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

Can`t say a lot when you get a 3rd "Face Stroker" in succession from the same Razor. Am afraid these AC/SEs are becoming my favoured means of Shaving, am even considering selling on some of my beloved " Streamlines", and I will not use other ER Razors which are far too mild for me despite their looks.

I was a bit apprehensive using the B2 today fitted with a new Personna injector, no need, i found the razor quite mild and it suits my skin and technique. The Blade worked very well giving a smooth cutting action, not a lot of blade feel, obviously the original old blades that were in the magazine are past their best.
I completed 3 passes, the final pass was more of a buffing pass to clean up.
A very enjoyable shave.
A nice post shave routine leaving me BBS, comfortable and smelling good.
Stay safe and enjoy your Sunday All.

Super nice creamy and slick lather from this cheap cream. Can feel just some menthol on face and very mild scent.
Shave with FB with blade combo at max setting 9 was very comfortable and smooth with 3 multiple passes. Went for another pass under jawline & neck just because it felt so good & comfy...and being greedy, caught some weepers...hahahaha..after 12 shaves using these Czezh blades finally some weepers. Between BBS to DFS and rating 8.5/10
