SOTD: Saturday 09 to Friday 15 of October 2021

I love my hone 15 and 15 a, but the 15a does take a little more getting used to. I get the ‘lifeless’ idea but find it’s an ideal auto pilot razor for quick shaves. If you want to add a little bite go for a super sharp feather blade. Perfect combo of ultra mild razor with silly sharp blade. It livens it up a tad! I do think the weight is it’s only issue, something the normal 15 doesn’t have to contend with. Can’t wait until the stainless steel version is available!

Blade ShaverBoy Super Stainless - New & 1st Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + BS MacaRoot Aloe AS Gel
One of my top shave creams! Awesome scent with a nice creamy and slick lather...the new Silvertip is a dream! Kitten-belly fur softness and the knot is huge...felt like a 26mm...
Had a good shave with the razor paired with this new but long-in-possession blade. The razor SB side is more aggressive than the OC side & 2 out of 3 passes were with the OC side. Turns out to be not as efficient but feels crisp, smooth, and comfortable. 3passes for a bbs/dfs result without issues. Aftershaves were awesome as well.

Post: TDS Kayaput ASL, more Proraso Pre!

First pass with the pre-shave was Nancy Kerrigan. Second pass with an under-soaked brush was Tonya Harding I'd forgotten how thirsty this brush can be, and soap struggled to give any slickness. Soon rectified, and and extra application of pre as post has left me with a face like an Arctic blast.
 
SOTD 13-Oct

Soap: PAA Blue Samhain
Razor: Blackland Blackbird SB
Blade: Astra SP (1)
Post: Cold Water and PAA Blue Samhain

Good relaxing shave this morning, nice seasonal scent from PAA. It puts me in mind of a Starbucks seasonal drink without the sickening feeling when you have a go.

Smooth and refreshed ready for a painful day at work.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc
