SOTD: Saturday 15 March - Friday 21 March 2025.

After a nice relaxing bath listening to some old school skinhead reggae and ska, decided it was time to continue the slow start to Sunday with my Fritz Bracht Tennis which I've recently refreshed the edge on. Very pleased with the buttery smooth edge, gave an excellent finish and comfortable shave, albeit not quite sharp enough for a Fool's pass (discretion being the better part of valour)!20250316_143121.jpg

Its always a pleasure to use the Brassbird, smooth and efficient today.
A crackin lather finishing with the Danum splash, smelling all very 70's festivals.
Enjoy your day all.

I have been keeping an eye out for one to come up for sale.
How do you rate the BB compared to the Titanium.

My Shave today consisted of...
Prep Hot shower.
Bowl Captains choice Obsidian Copper.
Blackland Shaving Towel.
Brush Zenith Copper Boar.
Soap MDC Magellan.
Razors Overlander & Blackland Sabre V2.
Blade Feather & Gem.
Aftershave Proraso Green Refreshing.

Today's shave was wonderful even the Sabre delivered this time, I think having a break from it helps and I am convinced the Personna Gem blade is just not something I will ever get on with, it's a shame there is little options in the Gem style blade world.

The MDC scent although subtle was a little stronger to my nose than the Absinthe and rich lather as always was the order of the day.
Last but not least a shout out to my Overlander for a cracking error free head shave, I am so pleased I own this beauty.
All in all, an 9/10 shave.
That's it.

Enjoy your night, everyone.

Great shave! Was the soap in anyway similar to Shulton OS?
 
Sunday 16th March

Yardley Black Label (Vintage) Shaving Soap & Omega 11137 Pure Bristle
Gillette Hybrid Tech w/Knockout Bakelite Handle & Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (2)
Yardley Black Label (Vintage) Aftershave

I really enjoyed this last night, so same again ... why not?

It's my recently acquired Yardley in the triangular box - others have the Black Label on the top, so guess mine is also the Black Label just otherwise branded.

Love the shape of the box. Now, if only Yardley made three pin plugs

Just checked mine which has the original box and no mention of Black Label.
It always reminds me of the old Carling advert jingle anyway

Indeed, ours doesn't ... same shape bowl was used for the Black Label soap under a couple of guises, like the YYY Black Label logo and the simple Black Label logo. I do think the scent is the same profile, what with following on with the Black Label aftershave.

... but love the capital cities on the back of the box, including Cape Town.
