SOTD Saturday 11th November 2017 - Friday 17th November 2017

Sat 11th Nov.

RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
MWF
PAL Injecto-Matic de Luxe
Schick Proline [ 1 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse Off
Puig Quorum A/S Lotion

After 3 consecutive Shaves with the Schick O clone, just had to be the PAL Injecto-Matic. Thought I might be able to establish which was best. The PAL is more aggressive, but the finished Shave quality with both of them is about the same.

Obviously there is a difference in the way they feel in the hand when shaving, due the difference in length. However, I find both of them easy use so in future will just enjoy using them rather than saying which is my favourite.

The sharp smoothness of the 7o'Clock SharpEdge blade was another great match for the non-aggressive knight razor, which made this remembrance Sunday shave very pleasurable.

Finishing the shave off with the Boots Freshwood Aftershave & Balm duo.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling very devine.

Soap: Speick Stick
Razor: Rolls Silver
Blade: Hollow Ground Sheffield Steel
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, 4711 AS
Great fun shaving with the Rolls. Not the closest shave today, though using the Rolls is somehow therapeutic. Topped off with the very addictive 4711.
A great start to this very important Sunday.
 
Morning shave.

Baxters of California Face Wash.
Tabac.
Maseto 30mm Finest (face lather).
Mongoose B3 + Ikon OSS Handle.
Proline P-30 (1).
Tabac Aftershave.
BBA Post Shave Balm.
Tabac EDC.

I acquired the razor and handle at a very generous price from James aka @Acer89. He also included a box full of lovely goodies as freebies. What a gent! I have never used a razor with such heft. So making sure that I let the weight of the razor do the work, and relying on the fantastic cushioning provided by the Tabac, I set to work. The result was a very comfortable, and extremely close shave in two passes. Only very minimal touch-ups were required. So it's fair to say that I am delighted with the ‘Goose'. An additional bonus was the fact that, as my Mrs is out and about for most of the day, I could go full throttle on the Tabac.
