SOTD : Saturday 23rd April - Friday 29th April 2022.

Maybe worth a try to add some glycerin to the soap ? ?
 
Wednesday
Another use of the Valentia soap and splash. It's just as good as my first impressions. Superb.

I've decided to give the Brit ER Jewel/Streamline a run out, Gem blade fitted, it was cracking and I am sure the head shape acts as an amplifier for the sound of stubble being mowed when it's in certain positions - or, I need to improve my technique with it and be more consistent with the angle.

Happy hump-day (stop your filthy minds, I mean middle of the week )

Pre - Shower
Brush - Simpson Chubby 2 LE Faux Tortoise

Razor - Ever Ready HFT Natural Angle

Post - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm - Barts Balm Lime Balm & Lotion

I think the HFT is the smoothest Vintage Lady i have, she gave a wonderful shave today.

Having just started back to swimming and Gym training this past week (not been for about 7-8 Yrs) and i am feeling it a bit, i do understand this is what happens i just need to keep plugging away until my body remembers what i am doing to it - PS loving retirement at the mo.

Stay safe and enjoy your day all
 


Back with another milder razor, the Giesen & Forsthoff Timor 1353. This works well with a Feather blade and as with the ASD2, I enjoyed a smooth and effortless shave.

I used Proraso white pre-shave and soap, which is like so many inexpensive, non-artisanal soaps a great lather producer. This time I ran out of lather for my final pass, as my new Semogue Owners Club boar brush is still breaking in. Nonetheless when loaded, it painted very well indeed.

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves!

And pleased to say there were no bananas involved in this shave. Because there wasn't any. In the shops.

What there was though, was some very fine accoutrements which resulted in a most excellent banana free shave.

Have wonderful days and I love you all.

And as bonkers as a bunch of elongated yellow fruit. Why, it's those Beaver girls.....


 
Thank you
