SOTD : Saturday 19th October - Friday 25h October 2019.

Tuesday 23rd October



Pears Glycerine soap
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Semogue 1250 Boar Brush
Wilkinson Sword Classic TTO with a Dorco Titan
Palmer's Moisturiser
Aqua Velva AS

A post night shift shave. It was a bad night and a worse day. The eldest of our 3 dogs has been going downhill and was scheduled to visit the vet this afternoon. Unfortunately when I got up early afternoon he had already passed so the rest of the day was spent organising a cremation .

I decided to go for something simple this evening and ended up with a really nice 3 pass shave.

Really, really sorry to read the sad news mate. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Razor: Rex Ambassador #2
Blade: Treet Platinum (1)
Brush: dscosmetics 26mm soft synthetic
Soap: LEA Menthol
Pre: Proraso Green
ASL: Proraso Green
ASB: Proraso Green
Scent: Armani Code

What a difference a blade can make @donnie_arko . The Treet performed perfectly in the Rex and the menthol set-up was a great start to the day. An excellent face feeler finish and the kiss of the 4degC air on my menthol face as I left the house was really refreshing. I'm not overly impressed by the dscosmetics 'G4' type brush. Don't get me wrong, it did its job and is a perfectly acceptable brush, but I feel the Frank Shaving G4 and Yaqi Mew Brown fibres are nicer.

No photo today. I was already pushing my luck with the shaving noises in the early hours. Had the subsequent sounds of photo arranging also emerged from the ensuite, Mrs Boycie may well have decked me!

Brush - Omega 11819
Soap - Tabac
Razor - Ball End Tech
Blade - Racer SS (3)
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Balm
AS - Akcay Tobacco

A superb lather with the 11819 and Tabac today. The third day of using it continuously and I think it takes me a few days to be reacquainted with a brush to get the best out of it, especially for a boar which has a slightly different approach than a synth.
I've used quite a few Lord blades and it's the first Racer SS, I've finished using as today was the third and final outing for this particular blade. I found it a touch smoother than a Shark SS, but maybe not as smooth as the Lord Classic SS - my favourite of all the Lord blades I've tried and the only one I'd buy again.
It's a shame Lord blades are made as well as some others as they really have some of the best artwork on their packets!
