SOTD: Saturday 20 January - Friday 26 January 2024.

Thursday 25 January

Gillette single ring, E95401 USA Pat Nov 14-04, the serial number would indicate 1905 but the E letter appears in 1917 although serial numbers then are 6 digit. Still performing a wonderful job, with all its original teeth, unlike its current owner. So a great testament to the Gillette name.

Have a fine day fellas!

25/01/24
Pre - Droyt's Vegetas Glycerine Soap
Brush - AP400 Slim SynBad 22mm
Soap - OSP Spice Road
Razor - Razorock Lupo 72
Blade - Personna Med Prep
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Nevis - Amber & Moroccan Jasmine
A/S - OSP Spice Road

Still plenty a bit of soap left in the tub, using the synths it may last through next week.
The Lupo is spot on for me, plenty efficient but still very comfortable.
Enjoy your day all.
 
Razor = Gillette Slim Twist
Blade = Strangelet by PAA ( 2 )
Brush = Simpson’s Chubby 2 Synthetic
Soap = B&M The Four Horesman ( War )
With matching splash.
Balm = L’oréal Hydra Energetic
Brilliant Shave again today with another slim twist.
This one is another nos and for me if you can pick these up in good condition they are worth while.
Another Razor no one wants and again i can only assume it’s because of the plastic handle.
Personally i love them.
The soap is a weird one,
Like any B&M soap the performance isn’t in question but man the scent is weird,
Metal & Gunpowder,
Very complex yet very good.
The first time i used this i wasn’t so keen but once you head your head around the scents it becomes a whole new world & certainly a scent that you won’t smell anywhere else.
 

Shave today consisted of...

Prep Hot shower with Signature soaps shower scrub.
Brush Highlander LE2023 Badger.
Soap Faena.
Razors Gillette Tech gold & Raz=r.
Blade Personna med prep.
Aftershave Faena.

A top class shave today with the top drawer Faena, I took a look at the ingredients and spotted that it is a perfect candidate for fat February month.
My beautiful gold Tech matched with the med prep gave me a glorious smooth shave, I didn't rate it much in my R89 razor but the blade really did work well in the Tech. Just shows how an opinion can change from one razor to another with the same blade.
The raz=r had a new set of blades added as the last set were showing signs of bluntness but they did deliver around 20 shaves so can't really complain.
I now smell, look and feel fabulous.
Enjoy your night everyone.
 
SOTN (Head & Shave)

Face - Yates Winning Razor, BIC Chrome Platinum
Head - Leaf razor, Treet Platinum saloon blades
WK Rebelle - soap & splash
Yaqi Caramel synthetic brush
Lucky Tiger
Nivea Pro Sensitive Ultra Calming Balm

Tried a BIC in the Winning Razor tonight, a blade that can be wicked sharp but also pretty rough and u forgiving in the wrong razor. Thankfully this was not the wrong razor, it tamed the blade very well with the sharpness only adding to the already excellent efficiency .
