SOTD : Saturday 3rd April to Friday 9th April 2021.

Tuesday 6th April


Zenith 507U Boar - Culmak Soap - Supply V1/Personna - Florida Water

I have eventually (in my own mind) identified the scent of the Culmak soap. Unlike many of the traditional soaps it doesn't have a mild lavender scent. It is quite spicy and to my nose.....I think it is lightly scented with Nag Champa. I like it! The Supply single edge is currently my favourite injector as it can be hand loaded and I have too many faulty Personna cassettes which are incapable of loading the traditional way.

3 passes for a perfect 'Face Feeling Finish':)

Proraso Sandalwood
RazoRock Plissoft 24mm synth
Face lather
Gillette Aristocrat (New Improved, England, 1922)
Gillette London Bridge
Thayer’s Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Proraso Sandalwood after shave

A fantastic shave from 77g (not including blade) of loveliness. A hefty ‘Don’t-F*ck-With-Me’ piece of cutlery; but smooth as you like with a light touch.

Another wonderful shave using the razor that was kindly loaned to me by our very own @Tony'schin :) thank you Tony.
I would like to try a feather blade in this razor before I send it home but it certainly works well with these Gillette Bleue blades and has left me with a super finish again.

Until the next time, let's be careful out there!

Greetings,


A early morning returning to work shave after been furloughed since early December 2020...I'm now on permanent dayshift for the foreseeable future, and for the next 5-6 weeks the returning furloughed workers are on a 3 day 8 hour shift rota due to covid-19 UK working regulations. So this week i work for the next two days then I am off until the following Monday!...Anyway it'll be good for me to get back into the swing of things and have some real interaction with my fellow workers face to face rather than talking to them on the phone, text and emails... At least i have a job until i get myself something with more stability. The extra days off will give me a opportunity to look for something better...Even though everyone i work with are in the same frame of mind but, you have speculate to accumulate and get off your arse and find it.

A Enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of Dana ~ English Leather ASL.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Normal service is resumed, i did get a little irritation and also noticed a couple of bumps around the chin last night and my skin was a little tender today, this could have been down to the weather this morning as we are back into Winter again up here.
A nice comfortable 3 pass shave for a BBS finish although i did manage to catch a bump on my chin leaving me with a small nick, its been a while since i used the Nik-Stick and it sorted it out quickly.
I am thinking of ditching the Polsilver for tomorrows shave, i really wish i could get on with them????
Anyway, stay safe and enjoy your day All
