SOTD: Saturday 17 June - Friday 23 June 2023.



Preshave - Pears Transparent Soap
Razor - 3ONE6 with Impero Handle
Blade - Feather
Brush - Omega Boar
Lather - Nivea Liquid Cream
Splash - Tabac

I don't usually use the same razor 2 weeks in a row, but I was still undecided about last week's blade (The Bluebeards Revenge) in the 3ONE6. I thought it would be a good idea to test it against a known entity, so I loaded up the same razor with a Feather. A blade I've never used before. Idiot.



It seemed to have a bit more blade feel, but was much smoother. Very nice!

First time I’ve used MWF since April 8th as been using up some products I wanted to finish off and oh how I‘ve missed it. As a daily head shaver the residual slickness is superb as I generally do a one pass plus touch ups, the slickness enables me to touch up without re-lathering unlike a lot of inferior soaps. I had missed the scent too, very comforting.
 
I - the aluminium version is the one you tried. Gile has the stainless DLC version (diamond like coating - some kind of hard wearing finish). Nice razor but you wouldn't like it if you didn't click with the aluminium version.

Wickham 1912 Cashmere
Mühle STF Travel Brush
Rockwell 6S
Feather Hi-Stainless
Floïd Mentolado Vigoroso

The photo gave me a bit of a problem. This is the chrome tube version of the Mühle travel brush, with a more grippy and more substantial feel, but, as reflective as a mirror. The brush has a really pleasant feel to it but is a pig to photograph well. As a compromise you get a picture of the working end only.
A very pleasant shave it was too. A plentiful and almost instant good lather for the whole shave. Two very comfortable passes with the Rockwell and a good close result.
 
My first entry for this new week of SOTD's and, on a Sunday? Not a Tuesday multi shave entry? News is coming through, Hell has just frozen over.

This shave hence arrives themed, 'What a cool little Devil I am'



Ice maiden - Ikon B1
Warm as ice - Wizamet Super Iridium
Prince of starkness - Yaqi Dandelion
Snowfriendly - Signature Soaps Wicstun
Hot boxing - Pure moisturiser

'Oh it's just you. How disappointing'

Fortunately not a disappointing shave, but what else would the B1 throw at the world of smoothness before ugliness? A lovely cold water shave with the water being provided by the County of Yorkshire. I have always sworn (and I do swear a lot) there is something about the water this side of the country which leads to a great shaving experience. And pretty damn fine beer in to the bargain. The Super Iridium proving its worth.....




And apparently, I'm not

Dandelion and Signature? Say no more. And I won't. But these ladies will.....
