Yesterday's shave:

First try of the Winner Platinum (courtesy of @mikesmart) and it produced a great result through a lot of face stubble but struggled around my neck... at least in my New.
Will give this blade another go soon using a pre-shave and maybe another razor.

The soap I got today and believe it to be Old English Lavender from Boots. It smells like it and performed really well. I gave it a good clean and lathered it all over before using it.

The little Gillette brush did a good job and may end up getting occasional use for a change from my excellent PAA from SatanFriendly.

Rating: 4 / 5

Razor: Gillette Bostonian (long comb New)
Blade: Gillette Winner Platinum

Ahem


It is Satanfriendly not SatanFriendly. That makes me sound like I would be Mr Friendly. Which I am not. Or friendly either

A weekend of shaves to catch up on (please note, just 2 not 10) and to start my new week of SOTD's. So without further of those French adeiu things, Je vous présente mes rasages sur le thème 'Le contenu de mes sous-vêtements'

Saturday

20240224_165441.jpg

Cojones - Ikon B1
My onderkant - Wizzamet Super Iridium
Harige stukjes - PAA Peregrino
我妻子的手 (No chance) - ADP Collezione Barbierre
Cosas humedas - L'Occitane Cade balm
Chose avec odeur - ADP Colonia Club


'And you can have your underwear back as well'

A cracking start to the week ahead and a selection of God Like shaving implements. Heavenly.

And just remember folk, if you do choose to wear your wife's thongs just remember to get them the right way around. Otherwise it may end up as a bit of an 'Ouch!' Moment ;)

And on the matter of thongs you may as well have some of those 'Bed-in' girls who seem to be more about gussets than music...




Sunday

This have arrives with the the sub-theme, 'Carabao'




Not quite the same Carabao as a Cup winning performance, but just one hell of a song from the Pixies at their best when Kim Deal made such a massive difference

20240225_182418.jpg

1-0 Razor - Yaqi Excalibur
1-0 Blade - Feather Super Professional
1-0 Brush - Highlander LFC
1-0 Soap - Alvarez Joe Gomez
1-0 Moisturiser - Collegen


'A drawer dropping performance'

Any Chelsea fans out there? If there is, tough shit.

A superb 1-0 shave and an all round class result. On this occasion I decided to use the Highlander LFC brush after the match as every other time I use it prior, Liverpool lose. My only brush complete with a curse. Phew

And to end on it is over to Trident and their original drummer the overenthusiastic Junno. And just to show how damn good she is this one is shot from the drummers perspective

I was always getting a telling off from my big brother for sneaking into his bedroom and stealing a few squirts of his Egoiste,I used to love it it was the first after shave I ever bought with my own money
Can you still get it I looked a few years ago and couldn’t find anyone selling it.
 
Pushed this blade a little too far. Just about managed an acceptable shave.
Got four but not quite a fifth shave.

The Sicilian Lime cream has a lot of smells going on beyond the lime. It's a sort of citrus blackcurrant. Quite nice but nothing special.

Rating: 3 / 5

Razor: Pearl Flexi V5
Blade: Treet Silver (carbon steel)
Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Amber Aerolite Stygian Synthetic

This one's the splash, which I'll decant into an atomiser, by and by, as it lacks a restrictor. The A/S is probably as rare as hens' teeth but can be found now and again on the Bay (as this was) - at a price :rolleyes:
