I should have loaded a bit more cream for a really luxurious shave. The lather was a little “thin” this morning, entirely my own fault. I turned down the Gillette razor a bit to compensate and still got a very fine end result.

Using the Arko Stick crayon style in the repurposed empty glue stick holder then face lathered, it took on a lot of water and produced enough for a 3 pass shave, the lather was thick and creamy giving plenty of protection.
Today i took my time trying to find the smoothest angle from the R41, coming from riding the cap onto the edge, i surprised myself on how smooth a shave i got from the Stainless Mühle. I managed 3 comfortable passes.
A nice post shave routine without any indication from the splash.
Happy with that shave.
Stay safe and enjoy your Sunday all.

16.7.23

Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Rudy Vey Bog Oak STF 23mm
Pre-Shave: Lacura Moisturising Face Wash
Lather: Castle Forbes 1445
Aftershave: Bart’s Ben Vrackie (Unscented)
Additional Care: Witch Hazel, Glycerin, Aloe Vera Gel, Peppermint, Lavender and Tea Tree Essential Oils
Fragrance: Paco Rabanne Pour Homme EDT

Lovely relaxing Sunday shave before heading off to church. First use of the Castle Forbes 1445 although I’ve used all their other scents. This for me is on a par with Lavender as my favourite scent from them. Castle Forbes is the best cream I have used, it produces a lovely dense luxurious lather and the scent pairs well with the Paco Rabanne although once that has run out I may get Castle Forbes own 1445 fragrance.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Second shave with the Vikings Sword, this time in the Pearl and got a better shave than with my go to Fatboy!

The Yardley I bought off @Satanfriendly recently and couldn't resist giving it a go. Excellent lather with ease and not much water. Lovely citrus smell.

The aftershave is an old sample I occasionally use. Perfect for this weather.

It’s a magnificent razor! What kind of angle suited you? I must say I never really “think” about the angle, I just seem to fall into one that works.
 
Why hello. My first appearance on this new week of SOTD's brings with it a cheeky cheerful shave and the theme, 'Vibrance, voyeurs and vibrators'

20230715_212424.jpg

Vivisectionist's tool - Razorock Hawk V3
Vasectomy blade - Feather Professional
Vapulating brush - Wee Whiskey Barrel
Ventage cream - York Swirling Soapery Vibrant Charm
Verbigarating moisturiser - Pure


'I asked for a big rabbit, not a big prick dressed as one'

A new week and a new soap. A visit to the Art and Soul shop in Beverley found them restocked with York Swirling Soapery goodies. Rather impressed by their Arabian Dreams I thought 'well why not?' After all there is very little shaving related products available over the counter beyond 'Shaven wives special' on the top shelf of the local newsagent next to Big Tractor Fetish and DIY Nightly magazines.

If you like nice strong fresh lemon scents then it is a case of box ticked, despite looking a little like hardemed phlegm from a bad chest infection. But boy, is it good. A really nice quality lather and superb properties. It isn't the biggest of tins for what I paid, but good value in the bigger picture. I haven't gained this much pleasure for £12 since 1979, which wasn't good value in the bigger picture considering the dose of crabs I can't recall being a part of the deal.

Back on track, a smashing soap and happy I went its way.

Over in Yorkshire at the moment and finally get to use the Hawk after running out of blades and never making any concerted effort to bring some over, until now with a packet of Feather Pro's. The Hawk to me is either brilliant or brilliantly rubbish and not very consistent in performance. According to Mrs Satanfriendly I am also brilliantly rubbish and more 'not' in the case of performance.

On this occasion the Hawk shone through like a shining thing and displayed itself wonderfully. Three full passes to an absolutely sublime finish and massive points on the grin scale of life. As REM sang 'Shiny, happy people'

A good rub of that wonderful moisturiser, 'Pure' and feeling awesome.

So happy, I went on Porn-Hub and then made a video of me pleasuring myself. I then sent it to all my email contacts. Just to prevent having to pay some bastard $600 in Bitcoins so he wouldn't send a video he supposedly had of me doing the same to them all. Beat the twat at his own game. Strangely only The British Nun Society have replied so far and it appears I have been removed from their mailing list.

And some Japanese girlies to see this shave out? Always a pleasure. And fittingly it just has to be the tackiest band of them all, Bed-In.
