7 and out for this blade, i find the my more aggressive razors seem to go through blades more quickly, although i am not sure if its just me.
Anyway, i am clean and tidy ready for a day out at Thirsk races, a few bets and a few more beers.

and Dad

Yesterday we took the "shorter" more scenic route along the coast of Wales and it was a beautiful drive, i think we will be visiting a lot more once the pup is up. The only problem was it added 2 hrs to our homeward journey, we had a nightmare crossing from east to west around Manchester. So with around 70miles less we had a 9hr drive home. All worth it though.
Enjoy your day all.

Shaving Recipe for today.

Cold wet flannel to my face & head.
Wrights Traditional Bar Soap with Coal Tar Fragrance.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Naples Tuxedo Synthetic.
Bowl Lather.
Bowl: Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl
Lather: Proraso Blue Shaving Cream.
Blade: Treet Platinum.(D1)

Post:
Cold Water Face & Head Rinse./Cold water face & head wash with brush squeezing's,/Alum Rub./Cold Water Rinse./Homemade (~Spring/Summer mix~) Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Essential Oils.5 Menthol Crystals Mixed Together With Care+ Witch Hazel./Brut Oceans ASL./Nivea Men Creme.

The Proraso blue shaving cream created a nice creamy slick protective lather with only a small amount in a short space of time. The residual slickness is excellent leaving a superb post-shave from the addition of the aloe vera and vitamin E making my mature rhino skin feeling soft & moisturized.

A enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Creme.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
Jayaruh Syn No67
Vitos Super Red
Alpha Spirit
Schick Proline ( 4 )
Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

My last Shave with a Mondial soap, makes one appreciate just how good the inexpensive Vitos soap is. I quite like using my Jayaruh brush with it, as I have found that it does get a great lather directly from the bowl. Perhaps the Mondial lather is more long lasting but the Vitos is really so cheap and great value.
Overall a very nice Shave, and 4days growth shifted with ease.

It's an 'Old Type Type!' No brand stamped on the baseplate but it has Made in England there. I presume it's 1920's made? All brass construction, and it shaves very nicely.

We've talked about it before, haven't we?

My first ever SOTD on this forum, and the second outing for my new brass DSC D8. Feather + Castle Forbes 1445 + Yaqi Sagrada Familia+ Barts Balms Ben MacDui. Always wary of the feather in a new razor, but great two-pass BBS with zero feedback from the alum.

Pre shave: Shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor: 1958 Gillette Rhodium Rocket
Blade: Personna GEM PDG (25)
Brush: Captain Fawcett Synthetic V
Bowl: Captains choice copper
Soap: The Glasgow soap company Iron Brew
Post shave: TGS Orange Empire aftershave splash


Another excellent 50s Gillette shave today.
Mild and very efficient.

The Rhodium Rocket is noticeably even more efficient than the TV special which I used the other day.

The best way I can describe this razor is that it's like someone in the Iselworth factory took the TV Special design and made it their pet project to refine and perfect it in just about every way.
The fit, function, and finish is just that bit better than the already excellent build quality and performance of the US flare tips.

It's another muggy day here, so the Irn Bru scented soap provided a very enjoyable and refreshing fruity amber summer scent along with excellent glide for a smooth 3 pass shave.

Orange empire finished it off with a great sooth, citrus zing and warm amber finish.

Have a fantastic week, everyone!
