S.O.T.D. Saturday 2nd April 2016 to Friday 8th April 2016

Monday morning shave:

Preshave: warm shower and I had not shaved since Saturday morning.
Brush: Simpson's Colonel
Soap: OSP Orange & Patchouli
Razor: Gem Micromatic "Bullet Tip" SE
Blade: Gem stainless (1)
Post shave: alum block and Thayers Witch hazel.
2 passes WTG and XTG ear to nose + touch up on chin. I turned the radio off (it was only Chris Evans talking bollocks anyway) so that I could listen to the famous "song of the SE razor".

.

I'm not going to do a full review as I will be using this set up all week, I'll say a bit more on Friday or Saturday. Suffice to say it was a comfortable shave with 2 minor cuts which were sorted out by the alum block and no razor burn, although my face was a bit warm after.

First use of Calani soaps and I'm pretty impressed. As you can see I got that lovely thick yoghurt like lather consistency. It is their Bay Rum but it smells more like a Barbershop scent to me.

Oh, like many others, I haven't been off their pages. Just getting into brushes properly and they're by far the most beautiful I've seen. You're very lucky to have it, but you probably have more!

Good start ... angle is important. With these, the cap should be practically flat to your face.

Hi, is the Floid the "Suave" or the "vigoroso"? I've been thinking about trying Floid, but as the famous Blue is not available I don't know what to get instead.

Suave. So very much a subtle hint of menthol.
