SOTD : Saturday 14th August to Friday 20th August 2021

Merkur CC Head/Custom Stainless Handle
Gillette 7 o’Clock Black
Hand-carved Ash Boar
Derby Stick
Taylor’s Tobacco Leaf AS
Unrefined Shea Butter


My old man popped round with a big full of shaving kit/crap so I grabbed a few bits n’ pieces and set to. Oh how I’ve missed that big ash boar! The old urinal cake of Derby chucked out plenty of lather and the stainless handle on the Merkur head was inspired. I have a heavy-bottomed English Tech head, a 7 o’Clock NEW head plus an Edwin Jagger so I’ve a wee bit shaving fun coming up. I think there might be an iKon slant as well but I’m gye feard o’ that!
 
Mon 23 SOTD
Soap OSP Bayrum
Brush Yaqi 24mm Arctic Sky Deep Blue
Razor GEM Clog Pruf
Blade GEM Stainless 12th
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel BayRum + Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Missed this top-quality soap! Really nice aromatic bayrum scent plus a rich creamy and slick lather...
Missed the GEM shaves too. This shave with the razor paired with the well-used blade was still good enough in 3passes for a ccs result. Not as smooth but strangely acceptable. No weepers nor irritation and quite enjoyable. Perhaps all the straight razor shaves have toughened up my skin.
