SOTD: 09/06/2022

Razor: Hone 15
Blade: Gillette Nacet, 2nd use
Brush: Yaqi Green Obsidian Silvertip Silvertip Badger
Bowl: Captains Choice Copper Lather Bowl Standard Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Yaqi/Master Soap Creations Lemon, Lime And Cedarwood Puck
Aftershave: Yaqi/Master Soap Creations Lemon, Lime And Cedarwood Aftershave
Balm: Bart’s Balm Sample Balm
Additional Care: Seaforth Sea Spiced Lime Aftershave Toner

Best shave from the Hone 15 I’ve ever got, the only difference to previous shave is the Nacet blade. So I sense another blade purchase on the horizon!
The MSC/Yaqi base is amazing and such an easy latherer, but I’ve decided menthol soaps are just not for me. Such a shame as the scent is amazing. Expect it on the BST soon!
Have a great day guys.

Much better than the last outing with this razor. A single pass and touch up for an error free BBS finish.
I am enjoying the lathers from the Wickham's soaps lately and the Muhle proving to be a little lather monster its a nice brush.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
 
Firstly, a belated Happy Birthday to @Palmolive fox

Picked up this lovely shave stick container in a local bric-a-brac shop on Tuesday. Really quite robust with a chromed brass exterior, bakelite interior, pretty octagonal lid and a fair amount of heft. Made in England and cost me the princely of £7. Rather chuffed with it!

Thank you.
 
Pre-shave prep: Warm water & Simple soap.
Arko soap straight to face & worked to lather w/brush.
Feather blade #4th outing.
Three passes, last one ATG.

My fourth go with my recently 'bayed kamisori.
I've found it easier to use than a straight style shavette....
....no bits sticking out though my fingers to contend with!
Slowly getting used to shaving with it.....
Progressively less/fewer slashes/lacerations to me poor stubbly fizzog!
Unfortunately, only practice will suffice - but you have to do it to your face!
Yes. The Alum was a killer & ended up a face covered with rizla patches.
Wifey's verdict for Kami shave #4? Not bad.
Not as good as your other razor (Everready w/Gem)
But not bad. And no cuts this time.

Prep: Country Life Tallow/Lanolin/Glycerin Soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Paladin Lava Flow Select Badger
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Soap: Declaration Grooming Massacre of the Innocents
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna P74 (25)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Declaration Grooming Massacre of the Innocents Aftershave Lotion
Scent: Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne

I really enjoy the scent of Massacre of the Innocents - just right for chilly Perth evenings. The tobacco scent lingers in the bathroom long after the shave.
Well, the vintage Personna P74 blade is still shaving beautifully on its 25th outing. The performance of these blades really do hold up to their reputation. I feel I could easily stretch it out for another couple of weeks, but I am getting impatient to switch to another blade for variety :LOL:.
