SOTD : Saturday 2nd April - Friday 8th April 2022.

Razor = 1948 Gillette Superspeed
Blade = Vintage Schick. ( 2 )
Brush = Zenith Horse Hair
Soap = Cella Aloe Vera
with matching splash & balm

Decent enough shave tonight
well pretty good really but i was disappointed with the soap,
Not a great scent & not a great strength.
I’m probably actually having a gripe for nothing.
Obviously the performance was decent & that’s all that matters.
The ascent isn’t bad at all and i do get a bit of Aloe Vera but i’m an Aloe Vera fan & i thought the strength would have been stronger.
I Guess that’s a good thing as the star of the show is the razor.
The second Superspeed ever produced & this particular one was New Old Stock.
Also a mention for the brush which was a first for me.
A pif win and a first for me with horse hair.
Onwards & Upwards
Stay Safe Lads

Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Signature Hibernia Puck

The Hibernia is just wondering and smells even better lathered! I can see why the one is often seen in SOTD’s.
Spot the deliberate mistake with the photo, thankfully spotted before I started the shave!
 
Eh no blade ?

Soap The Goodfellas Smile Italian Orange
Brush Yaqi 22mm Ever-Helpful 2 Band Badger
Razor P Hospital Le Grelot Thiers
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + TGS Orange Empire Splash
This is a very nice orangy scented soap and the lather was good enough too...pleasurably whip-up on the face with the excellent brush...
Today's shave with this razor was as good too. The edge refreshed on the pasted balsa & buffalo strop...felt smooth and sharp...perhaps too sharp. 3passes for a dfs result with 2-3 micro red spots...The matching aftershaves were just terrific!
