SOTD : Saturday 23 July - Friday 29 July. 2022.

Monday, somewhat belatedly.
PAA Phantom Aerolite, SV Dolomiti, Pearl Flexi and an Astra SP (1) a little raw with first use of the blade in a heavy razor.

Tuesday, still the Astra SP (2) in the Flexi. A welcome return of the Wickham Gothic Revival on the Semogue 820.
Smoother than Monday, perhaps because I adjusted for the weight of the razor which is considerable.

Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Gillette New SC
Blade Shark Super Stainless 1st
Aftershave PAA Cavendish Splash
Wow...!! Super awesome Soap and Splash for the aromatic pipe scent which really lasted. The rich creamy, and very slick lather is just great!
This shave with one of my fav vintage razors paired with the blade was very very good. 3 silky smooth+efficient passes=bbs finish. No blood this morning...too silky smooth for any bites A very enjoyable session! I just love the wonderful aromatic pipe smell...mmmm!!

Let's try to get today's in on the right day!
First try of the PAA Astra Planeta (BST) and I like it! 3rd outing for the Astra SP in the Pearl Flexi, and 2 passes for DFS but I was enjoying it so went ATG as well. Tabac EdC seems a good match.
Late for work

Thanks Mike and I hear ya. The 1 for me is pointless but some must get along with it. Always used the 3 but the 2 has been surprising me lately with the Pro in it.

I’ll certainly give it a go for sure

TOBS Sandalwood
Simpson Chubby 2
Tatara Masamune Nodachi
Feather Hi-Stainless
Village Barber balm


​

A super rich lather from some British greats. The shave as a whole was first class close and very comfortable. The Tatara razor is good with any blade I’ve put in it. I happen to be rather fond of Feathers, which do not seem the least bit threatening in this razor.
