Soap Arko
Brush Yaqi 28mm Tuxedo Synthetic
Razor RR G37 Slant on Yaqi Handle
Blade American Shave Platinum 1st
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Old Spice Original
Top-quality performance from this soap. Thickly creamy and super slick. The scent is unique for sure. Pleasant for me...
Shave with razor paired with the blade was excellent! Crisply smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly glass-like finish. Atg-pass on chin and lips area was so smooth with this outstanding blade! Rating 10/10!!

The shave with the theme 'Mrs Mop goes shopping'

IMG_20210111_212424.jpg

Yesterday was the day Mrs Mop went shopping on the bus while Mr Mop stayed at home and enjoyed a relaxing shave.

X47 bus - Stainless Mongoose
Don't forget your mask- Feather Super Professional
Shopping trolley - Steven Jagger 30mm Cashmere
Tesco club card - Bath House Cuban Cedar and Lime soap
Checkout - Bath House Cuban Cedar and Lime Edc

Another fine example of my punctuality. A day late as usual but very busy recently painting the cellar entrance as looking neglected, forlorned and in need of some TLC. Job done, just like this shave.

Everytime I use the Mongoose it always goes through my mind, 'Is the Colonial V2 really the top dog?'. Nothing less than perfection shave after shave. It also adds to why I abandoned DE's and reinforces why in the kingdom of shaving the one edged blade is king.

Never tried an SE? You need to

Want to try a great soap and want to try something different? This Bath House Cuban Lime certainly ticks all the right boxes. If you can't lather this stuff you may as well give in. It is so damn easy and so damn good. Perhaps more so with the wonderful monster Cashmere from Steven Jagger. And the scent! Totally, totally divine.

At the end of an achieving day

one very achieving shave with a big grin and a very pillow friendly face. Unlike this chap who needs to either get up and get that shit off his face or at least get the shopping in

Greetings,

It's been a while since my much loved vintage Gillette slim twist has made an appearance in one of my SOTD set up's this vintage razor gives an amazingly comfortably smooth shave each time i shave with it. I repeat myself by stating each time that i shave with this vintage lady it still amazes me that a 50 year + de razor can still perform with such smoothness...A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
