An excellent two pass Sunday shave with the new CK-6 formulation from Phoenix Shaving. A very pleasant gentle scent of bay rum filled the bathroom, enhanced by the Virgin Island bay rum aftershave.

Ahhh, the various hues and scents of yellow for the return of the colour coordinated shave, and all is right with the world :giggle: NB - I have actively chosen to ignore the fact that the blade is a 7 o'clock Green to avoid causing a cosmic imbalance, and to maintain the general good vibes around this sunny setup ;) Peace and Love :cool:

Stirling Syn 26mm
P & B Spitfire
Occams Hiram Commander- 2dot

A very pleasant Sunday morning Shave with The Hiram Commander, despite its apparent bulk it is rather nice to Shave with.IMHO far superior to the King Cobra which I had for a while.

First outing with a Karve Razor, and a C-Plate, I’ll stick to the C for a week at least to get a feel for if I want to try the D-Plate.

I found the razor super light, but super grippy.

Like my Aluminium Lupo of course had to add a little pressure in the shave, felt great especially ATG.

A great shave FF/BBS was achieved once again, enjoy the weekend all.

Joe.
 
Sunday

Phoenix and Beau Spitfire
Simpson Trafalgar T2 synth
Face lather
Gillette New Improved (England, Pat. 1917)
Super Iridium (4)
Phoenix and Beau Spitfire Solid Cologne

I had an outstanding shave this morning. The VC3 didn’t give me an incredibly close shave yesterday; so there was sufficient for the New Improved to tackle.

Absolutely no messing about. It’s an assertive piece for sure; and needs to be handled carefully. Again, two passes that feel closer to three; and the usual tremendous performance from the Spitfire soap and cologne.

Oh - get you Boudica. :) - I.

'...a terrible disaster occurred in Britain. Two cities were sacked, eighty thousand of the Romans and of their allies perished, and the island was lost to Rome. Moreover, all this ruin was brought upon the Romans by a woman, a fact which in itself caused them the greatest shame.... But the person who was chiefly instrumental in rousing the natives and persuading them to fight the Romans, the person who was thought worthy to be their leader and who directed the conduct of the entire war, was Buduica, a Briton woman of the royal family and possessed of greater intelligence than often belongs to women.... In stature she was very tall, in appearance most terrifying, in the glance of her eye most fierce, and her voice was harsh; a great mass of the tawniest hair fell to her hips; around her neck was a large golden necklace; and she wore a tunic of divers colours over which a thick mantle was fastened with a brooch. This was her invariable attire.'

Rooney Emillion 1 Porcelain Finest (24/48)
Penhaligon's Lords shaving cream (vintage)
Wolfman WR2-SB 0.95/WRH3
Wilkinson London Bridge (10)
Dana Canoe aftershave (vintage)

The shaving cream makes wonderful lather, and the Canoe aftershave has an excellent powdery barbershop scent that matches well to that of the cream.
