SOTD: Saturday 16th Sep 2017 - Friday 22nd Sep 2017

There is nothing quite as nice on the colder mornings than a scuttle full of warm lather, it makes for a much more enjoyable shave, wonderful!

That looks simple enough, I'll definitely give it a go on Sunday. How many times do you strop it?

I personally strop between 8-10 strop strokes on each side of the blade..applying a little pressure on each stroke, just use your judgement,& a little bit of common sense and you'll be done..you should feel a difference with your shave.Regards.
 


Bulldog face wash
Omega pro49
TOBS Sandalwood
Gillette Tech
Astra SP
A little alum, and
Nivea sensitive Post Shave Balm

A good shave. Two passes with touch ups. Definitely reduced irritation by removing a pass but managed to keep it smooth by doing one WTG, then one (mostly) ATG. THERE are some areas I still can't do ATG which get a pass across instead.

Feel just about ready to give up on my 30 days as I feel I have learned a lot about using my Tech and I'm getting back to back DFS shaves.

Since I have 2 new razors arriving ( and then hopefully no more !) it's time to move onto a different one i think. I have had the Schick Krona the longest so may attempt a month with that, or I have my 50's super speed to try. HE rocket may be a step too far...
 
Classic album, one of the finest debut album ever, followed by another great album. Side one, track one, Break on through, a perfect introduction to a band and their ideals. Great shave stuff to as well.

I could not agree with you more Paul.
My first experience with a scuttle and what a difference it is.

Boiling hot lather and a hot dipped brush!
I cannot believe it has taken me 51 years to discover it.

Winter. Bring it on!

Safe home mate - I believe that you will be going back to an 'early summer,' - how could you tell? My landlady and good friend is from Brisbane - and she described the climate in Oz as either hot or too f***ing hot. yours - I.

@Digimonkey just warm and cool in the afternoon in Sydney at the moment, don't worry the heat and the brush fires is not that far away while is still Spring. Summer season doesn't start until December, weather report say we could have a very early Summer season any time and brush fires too starting early.
 
SOTD: 250917

Blade: Gem ss #4
Razor: ER 1912
Soap: Lea
Brush: Omega 30mm synth Barber Handle
Scuttle: Giles
Post: Thayers Witch Hazel (Cucumber)
Balm: Lime #c in trial
EDT: CK no1

Beautiful evening shave using the amazing ER 1912 and the superb Lea soap that I grated into a newly acquired @Roscotanna scuttle.
I am slowly falling in love with the Omega, she really works her socks off mixing lather and paints your face with the softest of touches.
The three day growth was dismissed without any hesitation.

Really happy with the BBS result after a 3 pass shave with a bit of buffering.

Enjoy your shaves folks!
