SOTD : Saturday 21th May - Friday 27th May 2022.



Soap – TOBS Platinum
Brush – Boti Sky City SHD HMW
Razor – R41 / EJ 3D handle
Blade – Gillette Permasharp
A/S – Faberge Aquatonic
Balm – Lea 3in1

TOBS Platinum is a really beautiful scent. I forgot just how nice it is.
I get the best out of TOBS ( and most other creams ) when I’m generous with the application. It makes such a difference to the lather but particularly to the performance. YMMV.
With a few shaves now under my belt I’m really comfortable with the R41 and the Permasharp made for a great pairing.
I had a wonderful shave in all departments today culminating with some vintage Aquatonic. WOW !!

Have a great day and enjoy your shaves.

Razor: Rockwell 6c

Preshave: Proraso Pre-Shave Cream Sensitive Cream
Soap: Stirling Island Man Puck
Aftershave: Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey EDT
Balm: Baxter Of California Aftershave Balm

The lesson I’ve got from sample week so far is use them up before they loose their scents! The Stirling base as ever was great the scent was lost somewhat which is a shame as I loved it when I got it. A great shave regardless of the samples being past their best, I will try another!

Bit of a late one for me tonight, the wife’s watching lost lost families & bubbling like a baby so i thought ffs i’m out of here
Honestly if she dosent stop her she’ll be getting tossed oot
Oh i nearly forgot i had a shave
Right absolutely superb,
i know we’ve had the argument/ discussion before but i just love the wool fat.
Second outing on the brush & again first class.
Hair Cut tomorrow & think i’ll give the face a rest for a couple of days.
I keep saying that that but when it comes to crunch i can’t help myself.
Anyway i better rush to get back to long lost families i could do with a we greet myself
Onwards & Upwards
Stay Safe Guys
 
I did try initially to pick it out and think I almost had it nailed down but started to doubt myself. I should have just gone hunting on BST rather than go rogue by myself. I'll take another gander and see if I can pinpoint it. It's not destined for the drawer of death just yet, I'll give it a fair shout.
