SOTD : Saturday 12th June to Friday 18th June 2021.


Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: Mogno
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Voskhod (2)
Post: Brut ASL, Baxters Balm
Today's shave was - in the words of that annoying little Russian oligarch rat - Simples. And that's exactly what was needed. Did I really need to follow the Mogno/Brut combo with a balm. Not really - the smell and finish was perfect without, but when you've bought that many damn tubes of Baxter's it makes sense to use them at every opportunity. Tune in next week for tips on Cooking with Baxter's, Cleaning with Baxter's and Arts and Crafts with Baxter's
 
Beautiful Razor Mark , you made some lovely choices with it. Thank you for your view on the P and B Soap , thats very helpful.
 
The Legend that is @Boycie83 will be most pleased with the Mogno in a box.

Pre: Shower, Cold water Face Rinse
Brush: Semogue Torga C5 Boar
Soap: Signature Soap Valentia
Razor: Pearl Flexi Adjustable #2.75. - #2 - #2.75
Blade: PERSONNA Platinum Chrome (1)
Post shave: Cold water rinse, TC's Infused Witch Hazel
Balm: TC's Vetiver & Clary Sage infused Argan Oil Balm
Aftershave: Signature Soap Valentia

The PFA really likes this blade!
A wonderful lather today, although, i did find the scent a bit milder than the previous choices this week, it goes without saying @BrianH creates a "wonderful lather".
The Pearl set @2.75 was giving a little cutting indication at the start then quickly smoothed out, by the end of the WTG pass it was as smooth as butter. I dialed the razor down to #2 for the XTG pass, again, using short strokes the pass was smooth and irritation free, then back up to 2.75 to complete the ATG pass :-
That is the best shave experience i have had this week, smooth and comfortable - Yes The Pearl FA likes this Personna blade, typically i don't have many of these! I hope it likes a Med Prep?
A very nice post shave leaving me BBS, comfortable, smelling pretty good and making me a very happy shaver.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

A simple shave with this lovely load of “stuff.” I know I’m mixing my Phoenix and Beau scents but they’re all good. Nice and smooth with that new Feather blade. The Trafalgar splash is sooooo good!

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves!

Phoenix & Beau Imperial Rum
Semogue SOC
Feather AS-D1
Feather Hi-stainless
Pinaud Clubman VIBR

The Semogue boar brush produced a great lather, twice, as it also continues to kill the lather between passes. I enjoy lathering up and face lathering, so not a deal breaker. Good shave with the Feather combo on its fourth outing.

Scrap that - I've just realised it's the new AC blade that Connaught have. I feel so lucky that so far the lure of this area of shaving has eluded me!

You're missing out. My shaves up to using the Prospoon were epic
I accept this on this occasion due to the environmental benefits
 
17 June 2021 - Early this morning, been manic
Prep: Shower
Pre: Nivea stubble moisturiser
Brush: Omega boar bristle - cheap one I bought both Dad's for Sunday
Soap: Stirling Executive Man
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Personna Platinum
Post: Stirling unscented Balm followed by Executive Man aftershave splash

Pretty similar to my last shave, I think I may have to apologise to both dad's on Sunday, the brush was very, very thirsty and swallowed soap galore, only just lathering nicely.
Smell great though.
