Tuesday 25 July
Schick injector adjustable, from around 1969/70 and often given away free with Schick injector blades. The old bristle brush comes from a Schick cartridge shave set and still works fine. The star for me however is the Extro Positano shave cream, super creamy with a long lasting heady and unique scent, one of the best shave creams that I have used so far. The after shave splash is equally wonderful and also a favourite.
There was a Schick blade still in the razor from a little while back, but I thought I’d see how it performed. Set on 5 it was fine and still pretty sharp so only two passes and pick ups completed a dfs finish with no irritation or weepers.
Enjoy the day fellas!

Pre - Droyt's Classic Glycerose Soap
Brush - Simpson Duke 2 Best Badger - #2
Soap - Signature Soap Britannia
Razor - Karve Stainless C - SB
Blade - Bic Astor (Ελ.)
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Proraso Green
A/S - Proraso Green

Another cracker, The Astor blade running to 7 shaves and still smooth, it has been retired to the blade bin.
Today i used my second Duke 2 (the replacement for the handle i chipped but cannot bring myself to bin) to whip up the Signature Britannia, the Signature soaps work brilliantly for me, just so easy to whip up a great lather.
I finished the shave with the Proraso Green balm and splash (held in my 2nd repurposed siege cannon bottle).
Nice that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
 
SOTD 25-July

Brush: C&H 'Braizier' Gealousy SHD
Soap: NO 'Tis The Season
Razor: WR2 1.25
Blade: Wizamet
Post: NO' Tis The Season

Well today's theme was 'Christmas in July', so out comes NO 'Tis The Season, and to carry the theme it features the most hated elf in this house, 3 years I've had to try and find different hiding places for this thing!

Anyway, the challenge for the day was to 'Use a non-dominant hand. It doesn't have to be your own.'. Well I did it at least, rather than use my non-dominant hand I asked the Mrs, and remarkably she obliged, perhaps she wanted to do me in, but there was bugger all chance of me giving her a straight of course. We only managed one pass, 20 minutes this thing took, and I had to reapply on the neck by the time we got there. But you know what, the finish was...shite. The poor woman's hands were shaking, then we were laughing, there was no way this was going to be effective. To be fair though she's put up with these shenanigans so I really can't complain.

So in summary, the only time I'll let the Mrs shave me again is when I'm in a coma, but she's a legend.

Hope everyone has a better shave and a grand day.

Cheers

Marc
