Wednesday 22nd September


Boti 27mm Boar - TFS Barber - RazoRock Halk V2/Proshave S - Cien Aqua AS

A 'Face Feeler' in 3 passes. When I was away I took advantage of a very large new Lidl store and bought a few bottles of their aftershave which is impossible to find at home. At the price....it would have been rude not to!

How are you getting on with your new Boti boar?

Lidl is a glorious supermarket. The only place where you can find fishing tackle next to the crisps. Btw, I live in the middle of a city, where there is nowhere to go fishing.

The Boti is really good. It's a big brush but has broken in really well with no 'hogging' the lather. Most definitely one of my favourite boars.

I cannot believe i nearly sold this razor , so glad it didn't go .
A really slick, shiny lather from the Signature soap and Duke 3, plenty for the 3 passes.
A lovely shave today, when using the 1924 i have to remind myself they need an extra shake to remove the XS water from the head before presenting to the skin otherwise they can have water all over the place.

Stay safe and enjoy your day All

This afternoon -

razor - Cobra
blade - Proline (?9)
brush - Simpson Special bb
soap - D.R Harris - Arlington
post - witch hazel
a/s - Brut - Attraction Totale
balm - Weleda
scent - Essence Vault 300 - 'Silver Mountain Water'

All good. I genuinely can't remember what shaving was like before I started enjoying it - must have been so hideous I've blocked out the memories. Enjoy yours - I.

That was a near miss occurrence with the 1924, Tony.

Too close really Stephen,
I thought I had too many GEM style razors and they were not getting the use they deserved, really glad it's still in the den, they are really hard to find these days.

My opinion of the Claymore Evolution remains unchanged

And very much likewise here. A wonderful razor. May you continue to enjoy

How does the 300 compare to the original SMW, Iain?

XPEC Unscented shaving cream (v.1) + Rose Absolute Trilogy Hydrosol + Ethos Grooming Mélange d'Agrumes
Wilkinson Bonded System (1)
Roger & Gallet l'Homme aftershave

Nothing makes better lather physically than the old-version XPEC creams, and the drops of rose and citrus made the scent perfect for the end of summer.

SOTD 22-Sep

Prep: Warm shower
Brush: C&H 'Casanova'
Soap: DG Apogee
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: GEM PTFE (11)
Post: Cold Water and DG Apogee

Smooth shave this morning, thought I'd give the apogee another run. Really like this one and pleasantly surprised with the blind buy. For some reason I seem to struggle to find a DG scent that I get on with but I'm determined as I like the performance and this one has paid off.

Hope everyone has had a grand day!

Cheers

Marc
