SOTD: Saturday 25th September - Friday 1st October 2021.

Pre: hot shower
Soap: Cerberus
Brush: yaqi mysterious space tuxedo
Razor: undisclosed name
Blade: personna ptfe #8
Post: Cerberus
Frag: Cerberus

first 3 pass shave with that razor. Took a while but finally got there. It is really aggressive in the setup that I’m testing - and gem blades aren’t taking prisoners at first either! Brilliant smoothness - got to give it that.

cerberus.. oh Cerberus. Great scent on this one ! Got lucky and @Crossan sent me a sample of trifecta back together with my Stirling razor. What a great scent it is - now just to find someone that wants to pass the trifecta on!

dfs++ finish in 3 passes, with a bit of stinging from AS too. But good shave. Glad I didn’t get any weepers - finally!

Soap Stirling Haverford

Awesome sweet tobaccoist scent from the soap. The lather was creamy and slick too...one of my favorite for sure!
SR adventures continue with this excellent razor! Enjoyed the nice smooth pasted balsa edge in 3passes without any issues for a dfs/ccs result. Matching aftershaves were awesome as well!

This weatherbeaten auld gairdner’s mug is tough enough and I thought I was making the angle like you say but I guess not. Shaky hands, perhaps…

Plus you say the GEM gets smoother after the first use. I’ll wait a day till I have another go. Maybe it’s just the the total difference from DE? Very likely it’s just this daft bawbag right here.

No progress without sacrifice, eh?

I do not use DE anymore.

This was a quick shave before a weekend away. Didn't have time for an SOTD picture so here's a cloud in the shape of a...... Segway.

Great cream and the twin blade is getting even better.

You obviously don't read enough Viz.

You'll man up with a few more shaves with it. Give one of our seafaring fellows a shout and see if they'll take you on a bez about at sea to toughen yer skin up. Bay Rum is a good choice. More practically for the shave, get the cap flatter to your face with the handle sticking out at what will feel like a really weird angle, coming from double edge razors. If you see comb marks in the lather, get the angle flatter still.

Bez on a boat? You mean this?



Look, I can do the salty water thing although I feel the toughening of skin will come more from the mud content rather than the salt content of the Mersey.

As for the sunshine mentioned, you would have to get things into perspective. We are talking Liverpool Bay here, not Montego Bay.

Is been a while since i used the Original Yaqi Katana, the fit and finish of this one is spot on.
Loaded with a Permasharp half blade i find it is a very efficient tool.
An easy face lather from the CH2 and Signature soap, the brush holding plenty for the shave, 3 passes later i am as smooth as silk.
I little indication from the splash but nothing major.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all
 
SOTD 26-Sep

Prep: Warm shower
Brush: Cadman 30mm Tuxedo
Soap: Ramblin' Man
Razor: Blackland Blackbird SB
Blade: Astra SP (2)
Post: Cold Water and Ramblin' Man Splash

Good shave this morning, 3 pass with a nice smooth finish. Decided to kick out the balm and I didn't miss it, perhaps it'll see use again if it's a particular rough shave but I think it'll stay in the box for the most part.

Hope everyone has a cracking day!

Cheers

Marc
