Because bowl lathering didn't go very well ( https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/co...nd-friday-8th-february-2019.49159/post-741718 ) today I face lathered. This was definitely better with this soap. Why? I really don't know. Just loaded the brush from the tub and put it on my face.
 
Monday evening

Soap - Valobra Tallow
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft Silvertip 24mm
Face lather
Razor - Gillette Superspeed (1951)
Blade - Astra SP
Thayer's Cucumber and Aloe Vera
After shave - Speick

I've tried plenty blades when I'm in a DE mood: Nacets, Rubies, Personna Israeli Red, Wilkinson Sword Classic, Polsilver SI and many others. However, I find I return to the trusty Astra SP as a good all-rounder (although, the smoother Personna tames the Fa Tip Piccolo). It pairs well in all my DEs generally.

Similarly, the Valobra Tallow is a fine soap; with a great performance and post-shave feel.

Greetings,


Another early morning shave..I was curious to try the derby premium blade in a less aggressive razor,paired together with the J.D. B30 was a comfortable duo, which to be honest, i wasn't sure if it would have worked but it did,wonderfully feeling comfortably smooth and efficient with each pass..The derby premium blade has impressed me with it's efficient smoothness.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups DFS with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with some generous dollop of Arko ~ Comfort Aftershave Balm.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.;)

Belated Monday 11th Feb

RazoroRock Plissoft 22mm
Cyril Salter Solid Soap
Schick E2- Canada - WW2 issue
Schick S/S - Japan [ 5 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

A very good Mon Morning Shave, this E2 is something else. This E2 has a nice degree of blade feel, is efficient but shaves so smoothly and is forgiving. I had no problems getting a good close all round finish with no Alum Required.

Date: 12 February 2019

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush:- RazoRock Plissoft Synth. 24/57mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Arko (4 shaving sticks grated into a 250ml plastic tub)
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Razor/Blade:- Rockwell 6C 'R6' / Vintage NOS Wizamet Polsilver Brown #9
Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil / WAHL Bay Rum Aftershave Splash
Fragrance:- L'eau D'issey Pour Homme

It's been 12 days straight using the Arko shaving soap and it's making my skin slightly drier throughout the night, which isn't too bad in the summer season as I said before we'll always sweat sooner or later so it doesn't dry out soon. However, I'm starting to get bored using the same soap of Arko, over and over for 12 days straight is about to rip my bloody hair out, I've only got 16 more days to go and I don't think I'll be able to keep going
