A very nice early afternoon shave today.
3 passes for a BBS finish no issue shave.
The Arran products doing "exactly what it says on the tin".
A cheeky massage with the Bart's Balm lotion as i like it so much and it did compliment the scent of the soap and post shave products.
Feeling good and smelling good and the rest of the day is mine.
Have a great evening All.

B. - card de jour - I was struggling - Dutch for sure - until I saw the female figure - the Virgin Mary in fact - a detail from 'The Descent from the Cross' - Van der Weyden. Its in the Prado - very impressive 'in the flesh' - cheers - I.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Colonel Conk superbadger
Muhle rose gold handle DE89/Iridium Super
Coates rose shaving cream.....old version
Lucky Tiger AS and Face balm
AOS cypress/sandalwood EdT

Found this brush maybe 10 days ago and have been using it a bunch since then. This razor is a pleasure to have on my face. On the milder side which suits me just fine, with enough bite to leave me with a BBS shave. Very nice having that newer to me item in my rotation.

BBS results,

Martin
 
The theme for today's shave is 'There is no shave'

So I give you a SOTD photo of some fluffy cute little kittens in a basket

I am stuck on a tug for longer than expected and no shaving gear :(

What no shaving gear? Indeed no shaving gear. But I will always have time for some lovely Japanese girls playing thrash metal



Have happy shaves you lucky blighters

Sotd - Monday the 28th of October

Razor - Schick - O Type clone
blade - Schick vintage - single (1)
soap - Haslinger - Schafmilch - hard - tallow
brush - Simpsons Wee Scot - LE - best badger
post - witch hazel
a/s - Epsilon Blue
balm - Nivea - Cool Hidrante.

Result - muy bien.

Back in my shaving mojo - agua caliente - me gusta - muchos. Do you ever get in a rut with your razors? I had - went back to my favourite Schick - the O type clone - normally I use a modern twin Japanese blade in it - but couldn't find any in the den. I have nice examples of the I type and onwards to the O - going through the alphabet. The ones that take the double blades - Schicks shave well - for me - with any blade - but the twin blades are exceptional. I think that @mpf9ret - got the same razor at the same time? Fantastic soap - and a fantastic brush - if you are good with badger - you owe it to yourself to try the Wee Scot - tiny - granted - but holds enough lather for three passes. No shit. Gloriously precise. Enjoy your shaves - yours - I.
