Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend.

This weeks sotd's are going to be a 'shaving cream only week', as i haven't really been giving them much attention recently, due to my passion for using my humble shave sticks.

Starting my shave off with the groomed cream, which i totally forgot how much a great cream this is,doesn't get top marks for it's fragrance, but it's performance & slickness are excellent plus you only need a small amount to create a wonderful protective creamy lather, & the matching post shave balm adds a great coolness to the skin.

The bali bd 191/personna lab blue blade worked well together, with no tuggy issues, a nice non-aggressive but a efficient match.

A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of old spice swagger a/s.

My face is feeling super smooth, irritation free & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:​

How is the new scent profile like on the PannaCrema - Nuàvia Chris? Any comparisons to other scents, or is it in a league of its own? Cheers, Les.

Today's shave:

rdt180407.jpg


- Grooming Dept Voyage
- MÜHLE "Gold"tip Badger
- MÜHLE Rocca with custom handle and ASP blade
- Brut Original aftershave

:)

The MÜHLE Badger, officially a silvertip, is an older brush with very yellow-ish hair (here is a direct comparison with a newer version: Picture 1, Picture 2). Apparently the colour is natural, probably due to less severe chemical treatment during the production of the brush. Aside from the colour, it behaves just like the more modern MÜHLE silvertip badger, meaning it's very soft and rather floppy.

Brush: Shavemac TSR 2015 2B
Soap: WK Man From Mayfair
Razor: Igor (on loan)
Blade: Gem Blue Star
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, WK Man From Mayfair AST

As it had only been about 15hrs since my last shave with I-gor (I can't stop thinking E-gor), I decided to try it on the lower setting.
I face lathered with the dynamic duo of Shavemac and Wholly Kaw and set off.
The mild setting was a good choice until I got to the grey hairs in the Van Dyke area and then it struggled but no more than a Pushbutton struggles in the same area.
I dont know where others have found their ideal angle on Igor but I've found riding the cap on the front hump (Snoopy's nose, if you like) similar to the curve on the General is perfect for me.
Have a great weekend.
 
Morning shave.

Olive Oil Soap
P&B Pall Mall
Chubby 2 Best Badger
Mongoose B3
Feather Pro Super (1)
Thayers Witch Hazel (unscented)
OSP Lemon and Cedarwood Aftershave Tonic
Chanel Pour Monsieur EDT

Kevin (@Boru62) kindly sent me a couple of the Pro Super blades several months ago but today was the first time I worked up the courage to use one. Blimey it' sharp. I was pretty much done after one very careful pass and I was certainly BB smooth after two. Not the smoothest shave but I presume that as with the Pro, the Super will become smoother on subsequent runs. Have a great weekend gents.
