Saturday:
40 years ago today, Argentine forces landed on the Falkland Islands A lot of them probably had a shave with a Gillette before setting off.
I've been using the refurbed Falklands issue razor this past week as it's my travel set, so thought today wouldn't be the right time to change it out.
The Latigo was picked using a random selection in Excel so that I can start to rotate my soaps.
Have a good day all

Gosh yes! 1982. I was one of the last people to be on the SS Uganda and actually go home before it was converted to a hospital ship for the Falklands. The people on it after us got left in Italy to make their own way home as it was requisitioned.

Simpsons Luxury Cream
Cadman M55 Tuxedo
Rockwell 6S
Personna med prep
Village Barber balm
This was a shave of two halves. The lather from the Simpsons cream was excellent and easy with the Cadman brush, but the actual shave was not as close, in two passes, as it often is with the Rockwell. Oh well I can’t win all the time.Cadman M55 Tuxedo

Thanks Brian. Have a great weekendSaturday 2nd April
Zenith 507 Extra Soft Horse - Signature Soaps Leodis - PAL Injectomatic Deluxe/Proline B - Aramis 900
My first proper use of the Zenith Horsehair and it was actually very nice. It has been sitting unused for a long time as I was worried about the tangle issues I had with Vie-Long Horse brushes. It's too early to pass judgement at the moment...but time will tell.
3 passes for a 'Face Feeler'
Regards Brian

Pre - Shower
Brush - Vintage Butterscotch Culmak Plus 1950
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Razor - Schick B1 Repeating Razor 1927-32
Blade - Personna Injector
Post - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm - Tonyschin's Cedarwood and Patchouli Argan Oil and Balm

As i am now officially of "vintage" stock, i thought i would use a couple of my Vintage razors this week, they have been getting overlocked lately.
It is always a joy to use the Schick repeating razor, i just love they design of this thing.
3 passes for a very close and comfortable shave.
A little bit of sting from the splash which was fleeting, overall a very enjoyable shave.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

SOTD 2nd April 2022
Razor - Feather MR3 neo
Soap - Speick stick
Brush - Simpson synthetic
Post - Thayer's astringent
Frag - Al. Haramain Dhahab perfume oil
Another fuss free shave from the Feather MR3, the Speick soap stick produced a great lather with the aid of my trusty Simpson synthetic.
Just about all of my shaving gear is locked away in a storage facility so I have had to get used to using the limited amount of kit I have, hopefully I will be reunited with my shaving gear as soon as I have found somewhere more permanent to live, until then I will enjoy what I have to hand!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend chaps.
Paul.
