Birthday shave!

Time to reflect on all that kit and pick some real favourites ...

By a country mile, it's MWF as my choice for soap and it is, of course, a 1912 razor for which I picked the dandiest that I have: the Sun Ray. Lather up with my lovely Semogue piggy and finish with a splash of the really good stuff.

That was quite perfect.

Belated birthday wishes,

SOTD 04-Aug

Prep: Warm shower and PAA Cube
Brush: PAA Phantom
Soap: B&M Reserve Spice
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Post: Cold Water and B&M Reserve Spice Splash

Cracking shave this morning, I absolutely love this reserve spice both scent and performance.

Hand in hand with the phantom it's a great combination - I am slowly gravitating towards natural hair more than my synths now but this one still does the job very well.

Effortless 3 pass with the sabre, this has honestly turned into an absolute no regrets purchase despite my initial hesitation with the price tag.

Wonderfully smooth and ready for the day ahead, fingers crossed the sun stays out so we can crack on with a braai tonight!

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

4/8/21

Brush - Yaqi Plissoft 22mm
Soap - Wilkinson Sword Stick
Razor - Wilkinson Sword Flip Top
Blade - Voshkod (1)
Post - Witch Hazel/Lea Balm
AS - Benjamins Bay Rum w/Pimento

After discussing with Paul @Blademonkey with his incoming Wilkinson Sword Sticky, I decided to borrow my dad's seldom seen WS Flip Top, which I think I might have once read was the successor to the Sticky.

Considering I knew very little to how it shaves I decided to pair with a brand new Voskhod and combined with the razor it was very smooth and comfortable, but even after 3 passes there was a few spots of growth left, in particular above the lip. The razor head is a little larger than the Techs I am used to, and I couldn't get the razor under the nose for a XTG pass.

I was pleased with the razor on it's first shave, but I think next time around I'd pair with a slightly sharper blade, I think an Astra SP would be in line.

Not a bad shave though.

Anyway gents, I hope you all have a good day.

Wed 4th August

Omega 11126 boar
Williams Mug soap
Occams Enoch
Kai Captain Titan Protouch MG ( 4 )
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

The Enoch when used with this guarded blade delivers a trouble free Shave. One can work away without fear of mishap to get a nice close Shave, though not of the ultra close category it is more than acceptable.
