Feather AS-D2
Astra SP (2)
SOC Taj
MWF
Witch hazel
Old Spice AS
L’Occitane Original Balm

Another wonderful shave this evening using my favourite soap. I wanted a shave where I didn’t have to think and the AS-D2 can be used without too much worrying. 2 passes and minimal touch ups for a comfortable finish.

Razor: Razoroc Game Changer JAWS .64
Blade: Astra Stainless (1)
Brush: Simpson Duke 3
Soap: Tabac
Splash: Tabac

Well that was brutal! Why I thought the JAWS would be a good idea I don't know, far too harsh and aggressive for me so it's going right in my sell pile. A shame about the Tabac too, I struggled to build a lather, any time I added water or seemed to just dissolve. The lather was thin and didn't lubricate at all. I think it is the best smelling of the 'manly' scents but based on this performance it's also going in the sell pile. View attachment 96267

I have never tried to bowl lather a stick. As far as I am aware....sticks are designed to be used like a crayon on the face and face lathered.

Razor: Razorock Hawk V2
Blade: Feather Professional, 3rd use
Brush: Kent H8 Best Badger
Bowl: Face Lather
Soap: Arko Stick
Aftershave: Fine Italian Citrus Aftershave
Balm: Stirling Lemon Chill Balm
Additional Care: Random 60's Playlist
Additional Care: Wife Sniff Test = Not Too Bad At All

A quick dash round with the Arko this morning. While I do enjoy a shave stick it's not my favourite but nor do I hate it, it's been open for about 3 years airing and still smells the same. I won't replace it when it's gone as I have two sticks of derby un-opened to go at as well.

Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn sandalwood
Brush: vintage Evans, London Made no. 4 reknot synthetic
Razor: WR1
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue

Wolfman could become an every day razor for me. Whilst it doesn’t feel aggressive ii delivers a really close shave with the lightest of contact. I started with a Lord blade but quickly switched to a new Gillette and immediately felt the difference. No pick ups required but ran the alum block for good measure followed by a dab of Gillette moisturiser gel.
Have a great day fellas, Noah’s arc was seen around here this morning looking for somewhere to moor up. :rolleyes:
