SOTD: Saturday 2 March - Friday 8 March 2024.

Nice pickup with the AOS Sandalwood. I am lucky enough to have a couple of these. Wonderful Valobra lather, and a very natural dry sandalwwod scent.
 
5/3/24

Soap - Tabac Tallow Stick
Brush -Yaqi Cashmere 20mm
Razor - Gillette Red Tip
Blade - Gillette London Bridge (4)
Post - Alum
AS - Old Spice

I'd not had a horror shave for a while, and I think I was overdue one. The blade felt really smooth for the last few shaves but in the Red Tip it was sharp and harsh, then I went over a minor bump by the top of mouth and I knew the blade had bit me. It took a number of swipes with the alum block to get it to stop bleeding. A few minor weepers on my neck as well. Great lather, good blade but I'd clearly overestimated the Red Tip, I should have paired the blade with a less assertive razor, especially considering I had less than 24 hours worth of growth (I shave at about 6pm yesterday, and shaved in the morning today).

Time to give the face a few days break to let it recover from today's shave!

 
Two SOTD's in one day? What on earth (and Hell) is satanfriendly's shaving world coming to?

And so the theme is, 'This is the way we shave our face, shave our face, shave our face, this is the way we shave our face, etc etc etc'

And just in case you are in two minds here, it has naff all to do with brushing teeth.



Razor etc etc etc - Stainless Mongoose
Etc etc it's a blade - Kai Titan mild
Electric tooth brush - Hive-2
I am the one and only - Signature Coconut
This is the way we moisturise - Simple
Etc etc etc - Laboratory Perfumes Gorse

'That man? Handsome? Don't make me laugh'

A terrific shave for the ugliest man on TSR.

And from that popular show over in the land of the rising sun 'Japan doesn't have talent', someone I wouldn't have a clue about. And I don't think she does either......

Absolutely lovin' it! As I said, I missed out when I first came to traditional shaving but I did get certainly one if not two Valobra hard soaps and a C&S No.88 when the going was good. Yes, the scent is clean and pure - I have a very low brow Sandalwood from India which isn't very good as a shaving soap but the scent is pure.

Gone to the dogs, shave

Prep - hot shower
Bowl - silicone dog bowl
Cream - Body Shop Maca Root and Aloe
Brush - Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm synthetic
Razor - Muhle R89 Twist
Blade - Astra SP (2)
Post - lather remains face wash, cold rinse, alum block
Splash - Sierran Breeze ASL
Balm - Nivea Sensitive Cool PSB
Fragrance - CK IN2U for men EDT

Okay shave for a Tuesday I suppose. Why did I try that blade again, don’t know but won’t happen again, it’s gone! Apart from the scrape on my neck and a fair bit of irritation, the shave was good (enough)!


So, that Satanfriendly - is he though?
It’s okay, people think you’re just a dog.
Are you sure they don’t know that Beelzedog (also known as Lucifur) is my second cousin, once removed, on my mother’s side?
I’m sure they don’t.
So I can just carry on being the unknown daemon?
As you wish.
Good!

Aleppo soap - Shave pre wash
Jayaruh Syn No67
Cyril Salter Solid soap
Yaqi Raster V1
Feather Pro [ 1 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

Not getting much use with The Raster as I prefer other Razors. Struggled a bit on clearance of 4 days growth, but eventually got reasonable good finish.I did purchase another one, but disappointed as Yaqi did not improve the blade lug design.
