Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend,


It's been a while since i last used my wilkinson sword & nivea men shaving products, so for all my SOTDs this week will feature both a mixture of nivea men shaving items, the humble non-expensive ' WS Premium TTO' & 'classic' razor ,shaving soap bowl & shaving brush.

Starting off with blooming the top of the ws soap bowl with a few drops of very hot tap water, then loading it up with a damp, 'not wet' brush taking it to my face to build up a lather adding small amounts of water to the tips of the brush to get the lather to the consistency i like then returning to the soap bowl between each pass to reload the brush with a few more swirls of soap adding more drops of water to the tips of the brush.

The WS Premium TTO razor, paired together with the gillette winner blade very nicely making a comfortable non-aggressive,yet efficient match resulting in a silky smooth 3 pass +pick ups DFS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Creme.

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.;)

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

La Toja Stick
SOC Cherrywood boar
Timeless .68OC dimpled handle
Personna Lab Blue #4
Stirling ‘Sharp Dressed Man' ASB

Broke out the new to me La Toja shave stick which was easy to apply and whipped up a good lather with the boar, the soap is decent quality and has a very light inoffensive scent, this is going in my Dopp bag as a replacement for a Valobra stick. The shave was just a touch up of yesterday's shave being careful not to damage the area where I had a few weepers, so an spot of balm was applied to ward off any irritation.

I have been neglecting the old girls lately, therefore, this week will be a vintage week.
A lovely 2 pass shave with a little buffing, just dandy.
Enjoy your day All.
 
Sat 7th March

RazoRock syn. 24mm
Arko Stick-grated
TNNSER-3D
Gem S/S [ 2 ]
Massimo Dutti A/S Lotion

Words cannot describe just how good this Razor is, performance wise for me is up there with a Streamline/ 1924- perhaps more forgiving. I have only tried a Sabre L1, ATT SE-G and Starling V2 and the TNNSER beats them hands down.
