SOTD Saturday 29nd Aug to Friday 4th Sept 2020

That looks like a great head of lather coming up....I look forward to your ice-cream cone lather soon!!
 
Afternoon TOBS shave...

Software: TOBS Lavender shaving cream (face lathered) / TOBS Gentleman's AS Lotion

Hardware: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements 'The Starcraft' Synthetic brush / Merkur 38C Barber Pole + Gillette Nacet



Probably my favourite TOBS AS...it just seems to work with anything.

A really enjoyable combination today...I hope this month brings at least as much joy to all
 
They certainly punch well above their weight Brian, i really like using mine. Ticked all the boxes for a half DE blade razor.
I only used mine for a week after I got it.....was having problems with razor burn. This time I am riding the cap more and of course the Treet Classic Carbon blades are exceptionally smooth and very sharp. A great combination!
 
The Treet Dura Sharp paired together with the R41 resulted in a BBS 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report.
I used the Dura Sharp blades in the past and recently bought some Classics (their replacement) for a ridiculously cheap price (£7.99 for 200 delivered). I have been using them in my 1/2 blade razors including shavettes and have found them to be superb!
 
The dura sharp blades are surprisingly good for what they cost. I've only used them on the odd occasion. I intend to get reacquainted with the 'black carbon' in my next week SOTD'S.

Hurray a new month - mid-pm – post cycling shave – good three pass shave (2 days' growth). No cuts/nicks/irritation.
A nice day in the Chilterns!

Day 1 of Signature September

Will only be using Signature Soaps this month, same razor too but changing the blade to see what works best for me.

Razor- Rex Ambassador
Blade- Personna Platinum
Brush- Proraso Boar
Soap- Signature Vectis
Post- Barts balms, Grapefruit and pink pepper.

3 passes today and a great shave to start the month.
Personna platinum seemed to work really well in the Rex leaving no irritation at all with the soap providing ample cushion.
Grapefruit in the soap and the A/S balm worked well with each other as well to leave a nice finish.

Have a good night one and all.
