SOTD : Saturday 11th June - Friday 17th June 2022.

Tuesday 14th June



Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
Wickham 1912 English Rose Shaving Soap
Vie-Long Amphora w/Cashmere Synthetic 24mm
Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Skin Protection Advanced Combo
Pashana Original Aftershave

Getting into the swing of things with this Wilkinson Sword cartridge format. Yesterday, I mused that the shave exceeded the Gillette Fusion ProGlide cartridge and today, I think I confirmed that. The mechanism is nowhere near as slick as the Gillette Fusion Flexball, but it is rudimentarily good ... if that's a thing?

Enjoying it!

Splash of my now dwindling supplies of what I consider to be the best aftershave I've encountered. Pashana Original Aftershave. Sadly, now officially vintage.
 
Psst....The last few weeks my brut addiction therapist has lowered my "Brutadone" ASL ml usage to twice a week, however, i have found a new dealer in 'Bodycare' which have a new batch of 'Brut Sport Style',perfect for the summer buzz!...Enry would understand.

Yours-Barry.
 
SOTD 15-June

Brush: C&H 'Mammoth' V15
Soap: Cerberus Fougere
Razor: Gillette Slim (5)
Blade: GSB (1)
Post: Cerberus Fougere AS & EDT

A special shout out to @Digimonkey for the loan of this spectacular slim (and another to be in the spotlight once I've put this through its paces) and boy is it a cracker. It looks absolutely stunning for one but even better the shave is great.

I thought I'd start in on the middle groundish so decided on a 5 for this go around. Honestly it was excellent, very smooth and loud enough to tell me it was doing the job. First pass done and already very smooth, went straight to ATG for an excellent finish. I think I could probably turn it up a couple of notches so that'll be on the cards for tomorrow.

Overall very impressed for a first run, it'll take a few goes to really get used to it but so far so good!

Thank you again @Digimonkey

Hope everyone has a cracking day!

Cheers

Marc

Was it good? Too effing right it was.
Was there happy bunnyism? Too bloody right.
Did you visit a museum? Not today
Will there be a Japanese girly band to end on?
And will it include pandas?

Mühle Kosmo Silvertip Fibre
Mühle R41
Feather Hi-Stainless

What a good shave this morning. The Martin de Candre and Kosmo created a superb and plentiful lather, and the R41with the Feather produced a really close shave.
 
Wed 15 SOTD
Soap Stirling Varen
Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor RazoRock GC.84-P
Blade Shick Super Stainless 3rd
Aftershaves Stirling Sharp Dressed Man Splash
A very nice & strongly scented soap with a rich creamy and slick lather...woooo!!
An excellent shave with the razor paired with the blade. The blade in the razor feels really silky smooth and it was efficient too. 3passes without any issues for a bbs/dfs finish. The aftershave somehow matches the soap...but the indomitable Varen scent is more evident and lasted too...
 
Wednesday
Thought I'd get my money's worth out of this NOS blade and keep it going until it gets too poor to continue.

Paired the soap and splash as they have some similar notes and I managed to get a superb lather on my mush out of the Piacenza.

No complaints, DFS and feeling good.
