SOTD Saturday 22nd to Friday 28th Aug 2020


SOTD 23rd August

Lather - Yaqi Sagrada + P&B Sanskrit
Razor - Gillette Ball End Tech
Blade - Lancet Super Platinum #2
Post - Mennen Skin Bracer and L'Oréal Hydra Sensitive Birch Sap

Second shave with the blade. Really enjoyable, smooth and close shave. This combo was at least as good as the Tech / Dorco Titan combo - the Lancet suits the Tech very well. Just a tiny bit of feedback from the Alum and the post shave has set me up for the day.
Stay safe
 
Post-Sunday roast shave...

The roast
: Chicken breast / Sage & Onion Stuffing / Roast potatoes / Yorkshire puds / Peas, sweetcorn and leeks / Bisto gravy

Software: Pre-shave Ach Brito Glyce Lime soap / TGS Abysso shaving soap / TGS Abysso AS splash

Hardware: Phoenix AA 'The Green Ray' synthetic / Merkur 23C / Gillette Nacet


OK...lets get something upfront and clear: Yorkshire Pudding is NOT just for roast beef! 'Nuff said.

As for the shave, I like the Abysso soap so much that it definitely deserved its own special pot.

I'd forgotten all about my 23C...I think I bought it in Southport, maybe 20 years ago. I used it once or twice and then shifted to Mach 3 shaving. It's a really great razor that, belatedly, I now realise and will use more often. Also, as it's one of Merkur's 3-piece razors, I can of course play around with different handles!

Happy Sunday to all!
