OK so not the best Wedding anniversary day so far.
16 years Mrs H has now put up with me and my crazy hobbies... photography, cycling, shaving.... to name a few.
But I had to work this morning s it was the only day the customer was available. Then sliced a layer off my little finger.... its OK folks don't panic.... I will survive, (alright Gloria, calm down)
Anyways hopefully the rest of the day will go better, had a nice shower, lovely shave and have a meal booked at local Pub later this eve.
So the SOTD is....

Razor: King C Gillette
Blade: Treet Silver
Bowl: Small stoneware thingy
Soap: The Woolfat
Brush: FS butterscotch badger. (Cheap but one of my favourites)
Post: BBA dragons blood post shave balm. Lidl deep blue edt.

Not sure about the Treet silver, it seemed efficient but at the same time a tad on the rough side :confused:.

Anyways.... looking forward to the meal and a well deserved Pint.

SOTD: 11/11/2022

Razor: Shield Avenger
Blade: Feather Pro, 6th use
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Aqua Highmountain Silvertip Badger
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: Proraso Pre-Shave Cream Sensitive Cream
Soap: Proraso Green Puck
Aftershave: PAA Awesome Sauce Aftershave
Balm: Proraso Crema Liquida Dopobarba Balm

Another 3 days with the Shield and smooth as ever. I’ll try it with a new blade next time to see how it performs but it’s definitely a keeper! Effortless but not soulless, it requires some skill on the users part but not challenging or too difficult, a great daily driver or razor for special occasions. This wasn’t supposed to be the one but I think it just might be! I’ve even been contemplating saving for a polished variant to see the difference, (not before trying the Vector, that itch still needs scratching!)
