SOTD : Saturday 19th February-Friday 25th February 2022.

Fri 25th February

Jayaruh Syn No67
Tabac soap
Claymore Evolution
Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink ( 3 )
Tabac A/S Lotion

A superb Lather made the Shave very easy, but with the Kai Pink I have not yet mastered getting the area around the nostrils clear. Afraid that my poor technique spoils what would have been a really up there finish.

 

Prep: Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: Wars Cream
Brush: 24mm Boti Boss knot
Razor: Gillette Tech
Blade: London Bridge (1,2 and 3)
Post: Wars ASL, RSC Balm

23rd-25th February:
My hotel setup for the last three days. Job done, but let down by the blade. It's not bad per-se, but it just lags behind in the Gillette blade hierarchy. I've a couple of unopened tucks which I'll try with another razor (maybe the more aggressive Parker will suit) but I'm in no hurry to inconvenience the Tech again with one.
 
I had the same issue with my Karve yet not the Hone, very odd. I won’t if it’s something to do with how they are finished/coated?

Best shave I’ve had from the Blackbird! A delight from start to finish with one of my favourite soaps and scents, a brilliant brush and the Blackbird was unusually mellow and chilled today! A great end to the week!

Brilliant Shave today but 2 weepers
i went months & months without a weeper but recently seem to be getting one or two each shave,
Defo something i’m doing wrong.
The Rex is a wonderful Razor however i’m pretty scared of it & don’t use it enough.
The MWF for me is class in the old Boots The Chemist jar.
A Marmite Soap but i love & it whipped up a lovely lather with the boar.
Meant to say this was the third use with the med prep and the jury’s out for me,
Don’t get me wrong iv had three great shaves with it but there’s something in the back of my head telling me i don’t like them lol
i’m a screwball i know.
Onwards & Upwards
Stay Safe Boys
