SOTD : Saturday 13th June - Friday 19th June 2020

You say you normally use Prolines or pro supers so what made you change to pros? P.
 
You got a superb buy with that rare B2
 
19 June 2020 – mid afternoon – I was bored ….
2 days' growth – tried the Weishi travel razor once again, good all round shave, though two or three weepers – it just doesn't feel as positive as the R89 or Braveheart and the Feather blade is unforgiving – best to leave it for travel then.

Prep: Aldi Bath Soap & Nuage Shave Oil
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow 26mm
Razor: Weishi (China)
Blade: Feather
Soap: Old Spice Cream
After: Cold Water Splash - Ajanta Alum - Autograph ASB

It's all about the waiting game boys, I actually random search misspelled razor names, if i find anything wait till that last seconds then bid what i think it's worth.
The bid for this one i placed was £75, only one other bid and i got it.
I did the same on a Kampfe Star lather catcher from France which I nicked for £9.49, what a cheek.

PS Rasoir Antique is a good search. I can let that out now as my gaps are filled.
PPS " razor for spare or repair" is another. Basically if the seller doesn't know what they have or how it works. I got a NOS PAL injectomatic and a NOS Schick J1 on that search, peanuts.

Schick Type F
Schick S/S Single-Japan ( 3 )
GB Grey Flannel A/S Lotion

The F is neither Aggressive or Mild, provided that you get the variable cutting angle right it is quite efficient. Today all went well and the Shave was very smooth and my 30 hour growth has been eliminated, leaving me Parade Ground Ready I have found in the past that a good close Shave with this Razor is quite long lasting,and I am still close shaven at 1815.
 
 


SOTN
Pre: Hot Shower
Cream: TOBS Tobacco Leaf
Brush: DS Cosmetic Kevy Shaves
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable (5/5/7)
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Post: Cold Scottish Water Rinse
A/S: Boots Freshwood
Balm: L'Oreal Birch Sap​

A new cream from TOBS. Nice scent, nothing like any other Tobacco scented soap I've tried. Scent notes are tobacco, bergamot, grapefruit, coffee & leather. A very nice sweet blend. It's alway's good to see TOBS bringing out a new cream.
 
Just watching your video. Was interested to hear how the new shave cream was.
 

Well, that lives up to its name - 7 Days, 7 shaves. Truth be told, I was glad to finish the blade as the 7th was not as fine as the previous shaves, certainly not the first 5. Funnily enough, one side developed a little roughness which I noticed on the 3rd shave, but it cleaned up and became smooth again by the end of that shave. Very smooth feeling throughout.
