SOTD 03 Sept 2020

Pre-shave: Cold water splash.
Soap: Signature Soaps - Vectis Hybrid Grapefruit, Frankincense and Lavender
Brush: Muhle Silvertip Fiber.
Razor: Above the Tie - Windsor SSR1
Blade: SuperMax Super Platinum (Day 1).
Post: Cold water splash - Myrsol Metisol.

First run out with the Windsor SSR1 - a early evening shave 2 days growth - DFS+/BBS- after 2 passes. A very smooth and efficient shave - it felt as if I was shaving with a SE - the Windsor really gripped the blade.

The shave was not without incident - a nick on my jawline and some weepers on the neck - I rushed my prep today and possibly should have washed my face first, before the shave. Early days, very pleases thus far.

All the best,

Chris
 
Date:- 04 September 2020

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Brush:- Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo Synth. 24/53mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Stirling Spice
Razor/Blade:- Merkur 34C / Voskhod #13 ...... finished
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Natural Glycerin (20 drops) & Tea Tree Antiseptic (5) / The Stray Whisker Aftershave Balm (Australian made)

Voskhod has finally lost the edge and was starting to dull on the 3rd pass shave. Overall throughout the shaves, I'm pleased to say around 12 maximum per blade is pretty darn good with the 34C as YMMV. My next test again with the Voskhod using the EJ 3one6 to see how far Voskhod can reach to the maximum.

Super nice soap. Love the scent and really impressed with the lather quality. Creamy and slick. Load directly from soap tub.
Today's slant razor pairing with the blade is perfect! 3+1 multiple direction passes was smooth and comfortable all the way. Very efficient too. No weepers nor irritation. Icy water rinse followed by Thayers then soothed by Hyaluronic. GentsGin was great smelling and love it!
Rating 10/10!!!
