A Birthday shave today, however, although i have some new Razors/soap to try i am sticking with my planned routine and today it is the Heavy Flat Top SE. After all its just another day.
A very nice 2 pass shave for a DFS+ finish
I may get around to the new stuff soon, these include
a Feather AC SS Kamisori
a Gamechanger open comb 0.84
a Supply custom SE
MWF soap
2 scent types of Arran Soaps, with matching Balms and Aftershaves's
A new tub of Tabac with matching Balm, Aftershave and Cologne.
Now, the problem with this is at 57 and my already vast arsenal of hardware and software i think i will be long gone before i get to finish any of it.
Have a great Day All

Birthday SOTD today for which I went for my favourite items., ones which after I assembled are probably not the most exciting ones but it probably reflects something about my personality!

Brush - Zenith Euro X
Soap - Vitos Red & Green
Razor - Ball End Tech
Blade - Gillette Platinum (1)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Gillette Cool Wave

Aside from being my birthday, it's around the time 3rd full year since I first started DE shaving and as enjoyable a hobby as it is for learning a lot about the different components involved but I've found the routines/rituals for shaving to have had a great impact for my psychological and physical health. For the latter, one of the reasons why I seem to remember the date for when I started DE shaving as I stopped smoking cigarettes around the same time, as I remember replacing the ritual of my morning cigarette for having a shave instead. I've also found the routine/ritual of wet shaving to be very important for my mental health as well, however slight it might be the effort of trying to look the best I can every morning I shave has been beneficial, some days less than others but even on those days even the slightest difference however negligible is one nonetheless.

Anyway chaps, enjoy your shaves/this wonderful hobby and have a great day.

Happy birthday Donnie!
 
Shave for this month really.
Bluebeards Revenge Preshave oil.
Taylors of Bond Street, Peppermint
PAA 24mm Green Ray synthetic
Wilkinson Sword Classic razor,
Taylors of Bond Street Bay Rum
Nivea Men Post Shave Balm

Find the preshave oil very effective with lovely clean barbershop/ soap scent.
Peppermint cream, great lather, decent strength on the scent with the menthol notes cooling the face long after shave is finished.
My first good sized brush , absolutely wonderful, soft, effective, decent splay and great backbone. Fantastic!
Bay Rum wonderful, thought not long lasting, scent. Alcohol burn definitely wakes you up.IMG_2809.JPG
