SOTD: Saturday 29th December 2018 - Friday 4th January 2019.

Razorock gamechanger
Feather
Proraso pre shave
Proraso green
Wimmie Bowl
Simpson Special Best Badger
Proraso Balm
Proraso aftershave

Now I understand why they call wetshaving expensive
because even though I only gave the Arko stick one turn and put
just a tuft of the Proraso in the scratchings of the Wimmie Bowl
yet again there was enough soap left to shave a harem,
at least my harem!

How do you guys, do it???

Three passes and one little pick up under the chin made this a great first 2019 shave.

Proraso balm for the skin maintenance and Proraso aftershave for the happy end.

Ready for a cappuccino with .... appelbeignets.

Have a nice day everyone.

Jayaruh #289 - Lea Classic soap - 1907 GEM Junior LC - Treet Super CS #1 - Alum - Superdrug Sierran Breeze A/S - Dove Instant Hydration

Debut of the 1907 GEM Junior was also coupled with the first use of the Treet carbon steel blade. Both obtained from the 2018 TOST Xmas PIF. The result was a very pleasant shave with a super close result. What a privilege it is to now own this unique razor.
 
Wed 2nd Jan- Williams Wednesday;)

Jayaruh No67
Williams Mug Soap
Supply V1 [ V2 No3 plate]
Schick-Chick [ 2 ]
Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

My first reported Shave of 2019, though I did have one yesterday also with the Supply, but was on the move early to London and an overnight stay. Got back and had an afternoon Shave, which was a second outing ever with a Chick, which inject very easily into my modified Supply.
I found this blade to be very smooth and effective, but liked the more aggressive feel of the Personna- though they both deliver a nice close all round finish.

Greetings,


Second shave of 2019....

I'm starting to really appreciate the wonders of the humble shave stick, in the past i've only really used my regular favourites, palmolive ,arko & derby, but since i've started to add the W.S stick, Lea, & my newly introduced favourite,the La Toja stick i haven't been reaching for the other so regularly

Another very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near bbs early morning shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Body Shaving Anti-Irritation ASL.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling devine.
