Saturday 10rd - Friday 16nd December 2022.



As it’s still freezing, I had another scuttle shave to provide a lovely warm lather. As it’s easier with cream, I went VERY old school and dug out the Palmolive Classic Crème. I overlook the Palmolive, which is a mistake, it’s inexpensive, nicely scented and works very, very well - producing a soft and slick lather. Luckily I have another two unused tubes, underneath the sink.

As one would expect, the Merkur 34C and a Shark blade, worked really well with the crème and I had a perfect, effortless, face-strokingly good shave.

Stay warm people!

Razor: Merkur 34C

There’s nothing new in the world, statements attributed to a few past notables including Shakespeare and The Bible.
So I give you SEGAL unitary DE razor first patented in 1930 and the LEAF Twig from the present. Both need a fettled DE, the SEGAL is a bit more of a fiddle than splitting a blade in half but still quite easy. Both are unitary and twist to open causing the head to lift and rotate. Neat actually, as is the Twig
Razor: SEGAL
Blade: 7 o’clock Super Stainless
Soap: Wickham 1912 “Christmas Spruce”. (With thanks to @Shaveguru)
Brush: ancient bristle

Completed a super smooth 2 pass + p/ups finish with no issues to report. This is one amazing razor.
Dash of Old Spice and off for a quick stroll.
Have a great Friday fellas

Pre - Palmolive Sea Minerals
Brush - Omega 10075
Soap - Hampshire Wool Fat No.1 Cedarwood & Patchouli
Razor - Gillette New RFB
Blade - Treet Dura Sharp (1)
AS - Signature Soaps Danum (Patchouli)

I can't remember the last time I used my puck of Hampshire Wool Fat, and with my little Omega 10075 (my favourite boar brush) it produced a delightful lather, and the shave was a very enjoyable one.

 
The Segal does one extra trick, the cap goes parallel to the stem to load the blade.

Before last week's posts fade into memory - I wanted to say D, superb picture. My sotd pic of the week by a country mile, several country miles - hands down. A beautifully simple idea - the very hardest ideas to have in my opinion - beautifully executed. Very good indeed. Cheers - I.
