SOTD : Saturday 23th - Friday 29 th March 2019

Thursday 28th March

YaqI Chianti 24mm Synthetic
Pre De Provence No63
Timeless .68 OC
PolSilver Lodz (1)
Pre De Provence No63 Balm
Fan Di Fendi EdT

Third shave in with the Timeless razor and I'm slowly getting used to using it.
Although it's an open comb, my first two shaves with it didn't seem as close as with my Rockwell on plate 4. I used a steeper angle tonight, almost riding the cap, and it paid off.

I always enjoy using No63 soap - it has such a nice scent and always provides a luxurious protective lather.
If I had to use only one soap forever, this would likely be the one I would choose.

Only downside of tonight's shave are the cold sores that have appeared due to me having this nasty bloody cold. (Prompting me to use balm instead of an alcohol splash)
It's an excellent balm that suits my skin, and a little goes a long way.

Finished with a spritz of Fan Di Fendi. I find it compliments No63 quite well

Another attempt to shave with the Feather Artist Club SS this morning, and, this time, it all went pretty well. I had a few problems with the lather drying, due to my speed, and a weeper or two on my chin and neck, contained with the alum block, but, overall, I managed an extremely close two pass shave. I'm feeling good, and very clean.

Razor: Timor 150 6/8 Sheffield Blue Steel
Brush: Tatara 24mm Finest (On Loan)
Post: S.V. Cosmo

I have used this brush on five occasions now and I must confess it gets better and better. I am really impressed with the flow through and soap retention on this little brush. It paints and scrubs perfectly with great backbone.

Superb shave enjoy yours. :)
