SOTD : Saturday 11 September to Friday 17 September 2021.

11 days taken down in style!
Your Cobra makes me feel afraid Ian, very, very afraid!
 
Razor = Feather AS-D2
Blade = London Bridge ( 3 )
Brush = Turn n Shave 28mm Boar
Soap = The Watchman By Zingari Man with matching Splash & balm.

Absolutely first class shave tonight
The weather in Norway hs been pretty stormy with a lot of rain over the past couple of days so i opted for the appropriate The Watchman.
A Cold Water shave and first cold water shave in a while & it turned out fantastic.
Every time i have a cold water shave i absolutely love it then i forget all about it and go for a warm shave next time around.
i guess i’m a creature of habit.
Third & last use for me on the London Bridge but i reckon i could get another 2 possibly 3 shaves no problem.
I’m looking forward to the next couple of days i have two colleagues arriving in norway with contraband for me
namely some shaving soaps lol
My wife made the effort and went to their houses with my parcel.
Onwards & Upwards Lads
Take Care & Stay Safe
 


Warm rinse and Proraso Green pre-shave cream
Yaqi 26mm Rainbow synthetic
RazoRock Blue Barbershop soap
Claymore V1
Schick Proline (1)
Warm/cold rinse, Thayers Unscented, RazoRock Blue Barbershop aftershave and Bart’s Balm Peppermint balm

A sublime and refreshing shave this evening. 3 incident free passes with a BBS finish.

I’m sure the Claymore thinks it’s day are numbered as I patiently wait for it’s new sibling, the Evolution, to arrive through the letterbox. The shaves it has been giving recently are unsurpassed.

A really fresh and clean scent from the RazoRock cream and splash.

Have a great evening folks!
 
Tuesday 14th September

Soap • Signature Soaps Coria
Brush • Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo Red Marble
Razor • ATT SE1 Aluminium
Blade • Kai Protouch MG (1)
Post • Lynx Dark Temptation ASL

My first shave with a new to me ATT SE1 fresh from The Emporium, thank you @Boycie83
A fresh Protouch MG on board, It was immediately apparent that this razor is very smooth.
Given that it's a relatively light razor, I was surprised that I didn't feel the need to apply any real pressure which could lead to irritation.
First pass seemed to be over in a trice, and it was apparent that this is an efficient razor.
Second pass ATG (my usual routine) again, was a fleeting affair. BBS finish - even on the neck area (multiple growth direction sometimes takes a little extra work)
First impression after one shave is that I will get on well with this capable lightweight SE.
 
Wed 15 SOTD
Soap Stirling Haverford
Brush Yaqi 24mm Synthetic Clear Handle - New & Very Nice!
Razor Parker SemiSlant
Blade Vintage Polsilver Super Stainless 8th
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Stirling Haverford Splash & Balm with some Frost Drops...
Awesome aromatic cigarish tobacco scent! One of my favorite! The lather was creamy and slick too...
The shave with razor paired with this continuing blade test was still ok for 3passes without any issues but can feel the blade is not as good. Can feel some chattering. The result was dfs to ccs. Matching aftershaves were awesome as well!!
 
A bit bloody rubbish lately with presenting my shaves, what with work work and more of the same. So this SOTD is presented to you poor souls having to read my tripe in a magnificent (and lazy) double header themed 'Big Sale, Big Sale, two for the price of one'

Bowl - Stirling Soap Co. collapsible / travel lather bowl
Razor - Razorock SLOC
Blade - Gillette 7 o'clock Super Stainless ( Russia ) (3)

The Proraso Green pre-shave gives just enough menthol kick to last me through the shave.
My second shave with the SLOC razor and again it was excellent. 3 passes and pickups. Very comfortable and close.

Seems well made, decent size, collapses flat and for travel its spot on. Great product.
