S.O.T.D Saturday 28th October - Friday 3rd November 2017

Thursday 2nd November 2017
​

Pre Shave: Hot Shower + L'Oreal Birch Sap Face Wash and Proraso white
Razor: iKon SBS + Windrose handle
Blade: Croma (#1)
Brush: Vie Long Horse
Cream: The Real Shaving Co.
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel
AS: Nivea Soothing

iKon SBS now sporting it's Tradere like Windrose handle and the SB side is definitely more aggressive than the OC side, I think I prefer the SB with the dots showing, but the OC side seems the same to me with the plate either way up. Shaving with OC for the first pass or two and then finishing with the SB seems to work quite well.

RSC Facial Scrub
LEA Shave Stick
Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo Brush

The LEA is rapidly becoming my favourite Shave Stick. I haven't used the Feather Portable for ages but every time I do....I ask myself 'Why did they discontinue this razor?'

Three passes for a wonderful BBS shave

Variant #4
Astra SP #1
P&B Imperial Rum
RazoRock BC Synth
Floïd Suave + menthol*

Quick 2-pass touch-up this morning with the Variant. Cracking razor and helped refresh me after a couple of nights of terrible sleep. I was going to use my newly-acquired Cella but I foolishly left it in the car after work yesterday... Not to worry, I'll take it out for a spin this weekend I'm sure! Astra's are a good blade, but I think there's plenty sharper and smoother in my personal opinion. Nacets are the way forward for me... I shall have to buy a tuck or two soon! Great performance from P&B as to be anticipated! Splashed on some Floïd with no sting/burn and absolutely no resulting irritation or issue from a stellar shave.

*Herein, the Suave + menthol shall be referred to as Floïd 'M-bomb'. It has 5 extra menthol crystals and that's still not enough! A further two to be added later.

Done, done, onto the next one!
 

Nice one......enjoy
