Soap - Intesa Shaving Cream
Brush - Yaqi 24mm Plissoft
Razor - Gillette Rocket
Blade - Voskhod (1)
Post - Benjamins Bay Rum w/Pimento

Left out the pre shave soap from yesterday's shave to see if it would make any difference to whether the shaving cream would irritate my face, and it didn't. Nice smooth shave with the Vosk in the Rocket though.

A busy Saturday and a late posting, but, a terrific shave this morning despite a bit of a rush. A smooth face was the result, everything working well for this shave, including me.

@Nearsmooth A USA YouTuber says aluminium tins get dented and messed up and don’t look good in SOTD images I think he should check out your (and others) pictures!

Canny pre shave oil supplied by my mate Joe. Pearl Flexi with a Dorco Titan

Signature 'Hibernia' soap Brut AS and Bulldog balm.
Awesome shave with the pearl this morning, largely thanks to a glorious lather produced by this soap which is slick thick and creamy. Three passes with the Pearl on settings 3, 2.5 and 2. Pick ups were on 1.5 not that there were many of those. All finished with Brut and Bulldog balm. Happy Shaving

Men’s Master Professional after shave

I’m not a sandalwood aficionado by any means. My first cream when embarking on ‘proper’ shaving was TOBS Sandalwood, which is excellent imo. From then I got Proraso Sandalwood, which performs very well. Finally, I obtained TOBS Sandalwood soap. This made me feel like I had been shaving with nitric acid; and left me looking like I had been dooking for chips.

@James Riley has produced a very natural sandalwood soap here, I think; no ‘medicinal’ elements and it gave a glorious lather for the Feather. Certainly no reaction in the ‘face like a hallowe’en cake’ sense. Very happy.

Finished off with a splash of the Men’s Master (which I happily endorse too).

Prep: Warm shower
Brush: C&H 'Longtown'
Soap: Wickham Magnum
Razor: Stirling SS HA
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Post: Cold Water and Wickham Magnum Balm

An interesting one this morning, the decent shave on Saturday lulled me into a false sense of security. Lather was not the best and a blade that has been put through its paces both of which resulted in a harsh shave. Both of these are down to me so I can't blame the razor, but it was a wake up to make sure I pay attention!

On to the standard plate for the next few shaves, fresh blade and I'll see how it plays. I think at the moment though one of these may find their way into my collection eventually, perhaps with a different handle. I won't be rushing to get it (as there are others that I have my eye on), but I can see a place for it.

Hope everyone has had a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

Stirling Syn 26mm
Officna Artigiana
ER Streamline
Gem S/S ( 1 )
Officina Artigiana A/S Lotion

Back to the current rotation using a Streamline which is my favourite oldie.I found the Shave quite harsh though no mishaps, and the finish was generally ultra close, apart from a bit on the tip of the Chin.

First home shave after a few days out of a suitcase. Maybe shouldn't have chosen the soap I've previously stated reminds me of 80s and 90s hotel rooms :rolleyes:
Lovely relaxing shave, with a brilliant finish. The Prime's a lovely blade, but in my opinion the Titan is not a million miles behind.241768334_4783705774973891_2956231065966853243_n.jpg
