SOTD : Saturday 30th October to Friday 5th of November of 2021.

Shave on travel, aka "el cheapo"...due to limited luggage for air travel...
Arko stick
Yaqui Sagrada
Gillette disposable 3 blades
Arko aftershave cream

Apart from the washing liquid and medicinal scents of Arko products, a very good shave. Surprised by the performance of a disposable Gillette courtesy of the kind Sicilian neighbour...
Greetings from Catania, Sicily!

Great soap. Closed out with Proraso Green splash and balm. Perfect for my snot filled nostrils.

This Aristocrat is a wonderful razor. Looks beautiful and delivers a sublime shave.

You'll notice that I went for a plastic tub in my SOTD photo - I'm trying hard to be a bald and bearded influencer. #cockwomble

Sun 31st October

Omega 11126 boar
P & B Citra Royale
Claymore Evolution
Feather Proguard ( 6 )
Alcolado Glacial A/S splash

Need to get this out of the way, as doing a small Roast for lunch.I somehow doubt whether I have had a better run of consecutive Top Notch Shaves in a while, especiallly as they are so trouble free. The weight and balance of this Razor seem to make Shaves so easy.

PreShave: Shower then unscented Cube

Soap: HWF #3

Brush: RR 400

Razor: Feather R6S / R2

Blade: Voskhod #1

Post Shave: Alum block - Cien X Bolt splash - Cien Sensitive balm

DE Shave #36

First shave with a Voskhod blade and it was the smoothest of the blades I've tried so far (only 3). The scent of the HWF #3 is definitely my favourite of the three variants. The balm gave me a short, mildly uncomfortable burn when applied after the splash.

SOTD 31st Oct
Pre - PAA Cube
Brush - Omega S Brush 24mm
Soap - P&B Sanskrit
Razor - Gem Micromatic Open Comb
Blade - Gem Personna SSC #4
Post - Barts Balm Pink Pepper & Grapefruit
The scritchy Omega combined with my favourite scented soap aided by super slick Cube produced a simply epic lather.
Combine that with a sharp Gem blade that's been smoothed a bit after several shaves and a razor that makes shaving time an event and the result is an epic and awesome 3 pass shave. That'll take some beating.
Take care all and enjoy your shaves
