SOTD

Not much variation in the gear from day to day at the moment, but why change something that works?

Signature Soaps Eboracum
Alpha Outlaw Titanium v2 Synthetic G4
Carbon Shaving Co Cx SS/Titan
KAI DE Blade

Another wonderful shave with the very good warm weather soap Eboracom with Peppermint
that gave some much needed cooling effect in the around 30°C we have in Denmark today

Saturday 8th - New everything!

Fuar Ach Snog
Yaqi Brush
Goodfellas Smile Pino Alpestre Soap
Rex Envoy (purchased via the forum!)
Gillette Permasharp Yellow
Fine Snakebite
Myrsol Emulsion

Not a great shave, because I changed many variables at once and made some mistakes.

This was my first time shaving with a soap rather than a cream and the lather I produced was inadequate and thin. I should have tried again with a familiar cream, but I was in a rush lesson learned.

The Gillette's are slightly sharper blades that I decided to use in my R106 for extra efficiency. Given that the Envoy is a slightly more aggressive razor, I should have stuck to the personnas for a while. Also less pressure probably needed.

I got bit slightly a couple of times and had some irritation, but lessons learned for next time.
Stick with a familiar cream for now. Personna blades until I grow accustomed to the Envoy.

Always shave at night when I can take my time.
Certainly no disaster, but a reminder that I have much to learn!

Just remember, we have to make mistakes to learn :) P.

Good evening everyone, I hope you're all well.

Pre- Cold water splash
Soap- Signature Soaps Britania
Brush- Yaqi 26mm Timberwolf Synth
Razor- Rockwell 6S (R2)
Blade- Gillette 7 O'clock Permasharp #8
Post- Cold Water Spash, Osma Alum Block
Balm- Barts Peppermint Oil

A great face cooling shave with the excellent Signature Soaps Britania. Just what is required on a hot sunny day.
I'm surely tempted to get a bottle of Alcolado Glacial splash but as soon as I do I guarantee the good spell of weather will end.

Have a good rest of the weekend and stay safe.
