SOTD, 02 January 2021

Pre-shave:
Hot shower, Kiehl's Facial Wash, followed by cold water splash.
Soap: The Gentleman's Groom Room - Essence of Scotland: Sweet Gale.
Brush: Shavemac 'The Flat Top' Silvertip.
Razor: Above the Tie - Calypso R1.
Blade: Gillette Platinum (New) (Day 4).
Post: Cold water splash, Clairn's Blue Orchid Oil, D. R. Harris Pink Aftershave, finished off with Kielh's Facial Fuel moisturiser.

A lovely 1 pass shave WTG - no issues to report, DFS finish.

A very enjoyable shave; decided on a single pass, which was simple and very relaxed - I enjoyed a single pass the other day and it felt , again, right today

Post shave the scent and moisturising effect of the Clairn's Oil smelt and felt great; the Pink Aftershave is a recent addition to the den - good stuff - kind on the skin - very light. The Kielh's Facial Fuel a decent protective layer, before a nice, sub-zero, walk.

All the best,

Chris
 

Paul, good to see you,

Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor RazoRock G37
Blade Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless 4th
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
Lather from the soap was a good enough performance. The scent was unlike any vanilla that I know...in fact, smells more like coconut. Shave with razor paired with the blade is really 1 of my top combo. Super smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs to dfs result. Excellent post & aftershaves. Rating 9.8/10

Henson mild; ASP
MÜHLE
Stylo 31H75
Stirling Naked Smooth
MÜHLE Aloe Vera after shave & mastiha water mix spray
Castle Forbes 1445 after shave balm



First shave with the Henson, and the razor proves to be a favourite.
The angle is a bit inconvenient down the neck, but when it cuts stubble you certainly feel it doing so.
The choice of 'mild' configuration was spot on for my skin, smooth and above all irritation-free.

May all of you have a healthy and prosperous 2021.
