SOTD 11-Feb
Brush: Chubby 2 Manchurian
Soap: DG Daemon
Razor: Asylum RX V2
Blade: Feather Professional (3)
Post: DG Daemon
Well that was an interesting one, rough as a bears arse. Especially compared to yesterday, a couple of small nicks and a slight tender feeling afterwards. I was very rushed today so I'll put it down to user error with a mixture of inadequate prep and a false sense of security thinking I could throw it around after the first smooth effort.
An acceptable home working finish, at least it's almost the weekend.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Cheers
Marc

My Friday shave arrives here with the theme 'Cryptic currency (and other ways of making money by @Boycie83 )'
No photo as I couldn't be arsed, so this shave is in cryptic format

Lots of them. In fact the square root of 160,000

Ooh la la
= One smashing shave
Have a lovely weekend you wonderful shavateers. And I love you all.
You can have some more of the bizarre Midori for being such an attentive audience

Soap Barrister & Mann Full Measure of Man
Brush SOC Cherry Wood Boar New 1st Use!
Razor Karve Brass OC-D
Blade Gillette London Bridge 1st
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + B&M TFMOM Balm
Excellent soap! Good scent strength, rich creamy and slick lather...
New beautiful Brush...wow, scritchy for face lathering but yet soft for painting...
A very efficient shave with the razor paired with the blade. 3passes for a dolphin smooth finish with some micro red spots. The aftershaves were good too but my wife crinkle her nose...hahaha.

Friday
Decided against trying a 7th day with the Tech/Nacet.
Today I've used birth year slim with a 7 o clock super platinum installed.
The Latigo produced a super lather which made for a nice shave and despite my reluctance on using the 7 O clocks, it wasn't too bad.
I should have gone down from 6 to 4 for my ATG pass as I had a weeper just off to the side of my mouth. Cold water didn't really stop it and I needed a bit of a rub with alum. Gave it a rinse off with the left over soap and deployed additional splash and you wouldn't notice.
Have a good day all

Close and comfortable and a little smoother than yesterday’s med prep blade. All good with my shave this morning, but I’m left wondering if my skin has got softer or more sensitive this winter.Blackland Signature

After some great successive Shaves with The Claymore Evolution, I moved on to the Hawk. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Shave went as the blade was on its 8th outing, very smooth and comfortable with a nice excellent close all round finish.The battle between the Evo and Hawk for top spot amongst my AC/SE stable continues.

Good morning all,
Prep, shower and some Magno soap to the face.
Razor, Gillette Aristocrat Jr
A/S, Proraso Green
The cream lathered up pretty well. Obviously not as mentholy as the other Proraso offering. Hard to describe the scent, sort of herby but not overpowering.
A 3 pass shave. No idea why I keep saying grain. Very comfortable. No cuts / weepers etc. Nice and smooth. Very happy with it. I’d suggest you could use this razor as daily shaver without issue and get good results.
Best,
Ben
Ps I prefer the Menthol version of Proraso!

Razor: Yaqi Adjustable "Final Cut"
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: Trotter "Scoville"
Soap: GD Coconut Rum
AS 1: Humphreys Maravilla 70
AS 2: Anthony's Bay Rum
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1192
No reaction on 1st use of the soap was nice. I got more rum than coconut but it's a nice scent. Love the shave from the Yaqi Adjustable with it's new Brass handle from @Clouds Expecting a single spring day before some cooler weather comes back. Calling for 63 today so we are rolling logs off the hillside to put on a trailer and haul off...........It will take us many loads before we uncover more trunks and limbs underneath to cut next time but we're making progress. When I say we, us and we're, I mean ME, Myself and I. Off to some coffee and store bought mini powdered doughnuts. Man these are addictive which is why momma don't buy them often........... Have a great day Folks !!!
