SOTD 14-Nov

Brush: Highlander Chubby
Soap: HoM Tobacconist
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: GEM PTFE
Post: HoM Tobacconist AS & TEV 290

Wonderful shave this morning, Tobacconist is an excellent scent though I did throw on some dupe TF to ease it off a little bit and still carry on with the tobacco theme.

Carrying on with the sabre for a little while, it was my first modern GEM and does a very good job, I am curious to see what Shane has in store for it. I'm almost glad it's not due until next year as I still have the vestige on the list.

Hope everyone has a cracking day.

Cheers

Marc

First day back to SOTD after at least 6 months absence. Good shave today, sometimes simpler is better. Still breaking in the boar brush, it still eats more lather than it gives but I am working on it.

 
Oh my, what a sad state of affairs. It is a Tuesday and I haven't even bothered reporting a single shave. A TSR delight in that case.

I did take some photos though so I may as well use them in this SOTD with the theme, 'What a bargain! Three for the price of one!'

There also appears to be one more photo than shaves, but hey, sod it I'll throw it in as a freebie making it 'Four for the price of one!'. See Satan ain't all that bad.

Executive Shaving "Outlaw, Mild" head, Wilkinson Sword blade, on a Karve "Argyle" 4" handle. (NB, handle re-tapped to M5.) With frankensoap. I think this is my favourite modern DE razor head. Very nice, fuss-free daily driver. Can use this first thing, Monday, when the coffee's run out and I'm, er, not yet fully with the world! Still trying handles.
 


SOTD November 14.

Razor - Wilkinson Sword Sticky
Blade - Wilkinson Sword
Soap - P160
Brush - Alpha - Outlaw V1 Titanium with Rhodium SHD Silvertip fan knot from Srdjan
Bowl - Heavyweight Capitans Choice copper
Post - Thayer's astringent
Frag - Minotaure by Paloma Picasso

A lovely mild shave today with some of my favourite things, the P160 soap produced a thick luxurious lather with the aid of one of my favourite brushes from Alpha / Srdjan and the wonderful Wilkinson Sword Sticky gave me a mild but perfect shave, a razor with some real style.

Until the next time, stay safe and shave happy!

Paul.
