SOTD Sat 29th Sept to Fri 5th Oct 2012

Tonight

Brush: Omega 48 Boar
Soap: Cella
Razor: Weber DLC
Blade: 7 o'clock green (1)
Post: Blightys Punchinello balm

Result BBS.
The Cella lathered up beautifully with my boar. Had a great shave and didn't use my Alum block for a change, just the Blightys, and my face feels a bit better for it.

Heh, I've got a 7 ounce NIB GG 'Soap in a Rope', still sealed in plastic wrap. Even then, there's lots of scent coming from the stuff. I believe it's from 1982. I can't bring myself to try it..........sheesh.

I'm pretty sure that frag was reformulated a while back.

Can't see this razor staying in my rotation, it goes against my shaving mantra of easy and effortless. It great on 3 day stubble but i can't justify keeping it for a few days use a month!

Prep: Shower
Razor: ER 1912
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated
Brush: Vie Long 13061M Horse
Soap: Fume Lavender
Aftershave: RSC Balm

Not the most perfect shave, BBS finish but a little tenderness under the neck, this razor for some reason today felt a bit 'harsh' I am unable to put my finger on exactly why, although I did use a new blade.

Regards
Dick.

Pre Veleiro soap + Tati soap Spearmint in Old Spice mug + Omega boar + UFO U2 Long with Gillette Tech and Iridium Super #3 + Provence Santé splash + Herbíssimo balm

First time I use this Omega boar after some days washing it. It's still a bit "hard", but I could use it without much problems with this lovely scented soap.

A good shave, gentlemen!

Cheers!

Tuesday.

First Shave with the Chinese Pass around blades.

To maintain some consistency I plan on using basically the same kit for all the Chinese blades to give some comparison. I will use different scents, but will stick to TOBS Creams and Aftershaves. The same razor will be used, and the same brush. - EDIT, not the same brush as the knot has just fallen out of it :(

For reference normal blade is the Thai packaged Gillette Super Thin.

The first blade I have chosen from the Pass Around set is the Flying Eagle.

Prep: Hot Flannels
Cream: TOBS Mr Taylor
Brush: Neep 26mm Extra Silvertip in Kenya Soapstone
Razor: Feather AS-D1
Blade: Chinese Flying Eagle
A/S: TOBS Mr Taylor.

The first pass felt ever so slightly tuggy, but perfectly acceptable. This could have been down to poor prep as I only used a hot flannel this morning on my face, rather than 10 minutes in a hot shower.
The second and third passes were smooth and comfortable.

The result was a perfectly acceptable shave with no nicks or irritation, I could easily use these blades on a daily basis.
