SOTD 26-May

Brush: Simpson Colonel
Soap: Arko Cream
Razor: Blackland Era (5)
Blade: Feather HS
Post: Barts Ben Kilbreck

Cracking simple shave this morning, no frills arko cream, fantastic value. Decided to throw a feather in the Era, oddly felt very smooth. There aren't many razors I can throw a feather in and get on with. Finished off nicely with the Kilbreck, looking forward to seeing some of the other tester fragrances come out in Barts lineup.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

Soap Yaqi Musketeer Rapier
Brush Yaqi 24mm Purple Mink
Razor Karve Brass SB-F
Blade Persona X Series 18th Use
Aftershave Yaqi Musketeer Rapier Splash
A very good quality soap with a terrific scent and a rich creamy slick lather...
The shave with the razor paired with this well-used blade was amazing! The blade is still smooth and performing without any signs of being dull. 3passes without any issues for a bbs/dfs result. The matching aftershave was super...

TOBS Sandalwood
PAA Peregrino

​

A wonderful lather from the Taylor’s and PAA brush and a reasonably efficient shave from the Karve, but, not quite as excellent as yesterday’s shave with the Blackbird.

Not an up to date SOTD but one from last week. My farewell shave with the Parker Injector.
I think I will give injector razors a miss from now on. Tried a Schick L, Supply with all plates and now this. Don't get me wrong you can achieve very good results but the overall feel it's not as good as a DE or AC blade so I'll get out of this rabbit hole

26/05/22
Mug Soap and Mitchells May
Pre - Shower
Brush - Simpson Wee Scot
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Razor - PILS 101 NE Std Matt
Blade - Wizamet Super Iridium
Post - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm - Baxter's / Argan Oil home mixed Balm
A/S - Hugo Boss Bottled night

It takes a little more work to get a lather from the Wee Scot, but a lather you do get and it can rival any produced by any of my brushes, it always amazes me. I would love one in Butterscotch and also Red.
These PILS razors just work for me, very comfortable and efficient razors when fitted with a nice sharp blade, todays shave with the 101NE Std was fantastic. So comfortable to use.
I changed the splash out at the last moment just to keep the shave on track, a really nice rub of HB Bottled night.
Lovely.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

RR 400. SE Plissoft noir
Tabac
PAL Adjustable
Schick S/S single - Japan [ 3 ]
Tabac A/S Lotion

A really good Shave today, aided by a super Tabac lather The PAL delivered a mishap free close all round finish Reminds me of the times that this was one of my favourite Razors, before AC/SEs crept into my den.

I do find I have to work it more than Brian's offerings which don't contain goats.

Interesting, I find the opposite although both lather stupidly easily for me. What is the water like in Yorkshire/Liverpool? - I.

Quite polar opposites one side to the other. Soft this side and hard in Yorkshire.

The problem is I have with my sample is it picks up quite thick in parts with the Capra and I have to just work it out a little more.

Once there as good as any other of Brian's soaps which are all top drawer stuff. I may be minty but not a minty man.

07:00 this morning - just realised my post hadn't posted and was still sitting here!

When away, the FI issue Tech is my go to especially seeing that 26 May was the day 2 Para were ordered to take Goose Green and started their advance to said battle. (28 & 29 May).

Perma sharp on its third outing,. This Tech is a little lighter than most others, so needs a little more pressure. DFS none the less.

The TOBS sandalwood stick feels quite grainy, almost like sandpaper when applying to my mush - not sure it should feel like this m maybe I need to take a layer off to get rid of crystallised ingredients. Once it was lathered though, produced a thoroughly nice shave.

GFT skin food left me feeling moisturised
