after what was a shockingly rough shave with the Vokshod, it was an absolute delight to get back to the Gillette Bleue Extra, and the Zingari Man is without a doubt a premier league soap, with slickness for days! A glorious shave.

Head and face shave

Giles Shaving Bowl
Leaf (Astra SP 2)
Blackland Vector (Schick Proline 1)
Edwin Jagger XL STF
Bodyshop Maca Root
Homemade witch hazel with glycerin, lavender, peppermint and tea tree essential oils
L’Occitane Original Balm

Super head and face shave this evening. Went back to my favourite AC blade the Schick Proline after trialing a couple of Feather Super Pro’s. Even on the first use it was so much smoother. Not had much of a chance to post or view many SOTD’s this week but will enjoy having a good catch up tonight.

Have a great weekend all.
 
The usual 'My last shave for this week of SOTD's', and this one as fresh as can be arrives with the theme, 'Shaving with potters slurry'



Grogged porcelain - Muhle R89
Red earthenware - Polsilver Lodz
Raku - Zenith dark synthetic
Flax paper - Abbate Y Mantia Krokos
Craft crank - Collegen night moisturiser
Playdough - Abbate Y Mantia Krokos splash

'He's fucked off'

Tonight's shave was aimed to dispel the myth 'Abbate Y Mantia, a potters clay or a soapy potter?'

After being pleasantly reacquainted with the R89 the other day I decided it was time to get re-reaquainted with it once again. Again an excellent performance and a refreshing change to my usual aggressive stance. And boy is my skin taking to a milder razor in a wonderful way. A splash of Witch Hazel, a slap of moisturiser and my face is loving it.

The Abbate? As the photo shows, a gorgeous creamy lather and if someone made a vase out of this it wouldn't be a vase. It would be, it would be, it would be a shaving soap.

@hotmetal you are dispelled.

Have beautiful weekends you beautiful forum people and always remember, I love you all.

But not as much as beaver





And I get the impression the photographers in the front are more interested in beaver than they are The Beaver.

Yesterday I had the same issue with this soap, constant burning sensation throughout the shave. Scent is excellent and I need to give it a few more shots before passing it forward.

Gave A&E Turkish coffee another chance this morning. Performance wise one of the best performing soaps I've tried. Today I tried hydrating lather as much as it can be hydrated to try to reduce burning sensation but without success. It burned so much that I was considering lathering something else for second pass. Not sure what's the cause of it is it perfume or some other ingredient but it's definitely the shame as I really enjoy this scent.
 
Glad you like it man!
