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'

RazoRock Plissoft 24mm synth
Face lather

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.

Brush - Alpha Outlaw Ti V1 Rhodium Silvertip
Post - Thayer's Astringent
Frag - YSL Opium EdP

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!

This one was absolutely marvellous my number 1 favourite razor along with my favourite scent the usual great Wickhams performance..first time trying the balm and it’s excellent, the Dr Harris tied in very nicely. That wonderful rose scent has really helped me to relax after a stressful couple of weeks feeling smooth and refreshed
 
Looks a Great Shave Jay !

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
