Soap - Hampshire Wool Fat
Brush - Zenith Euro X
Razor - Old Type
Blade - Feather (2)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Signature Soaps Danum

Another great shave with the Feather, but I managed to pick up a little weeper, no result from applying a touch too much pressure.

As I was using the Cedarwood and Patchouli HWF soap (which is an excellent lather with it's tallow and lanolin, an excellent post shave too) I finished the shave with SS Danum splash. I forgot how superb this splash is, it might sit on the face better of all the post shave products I have owned.

I'm off for my second AZ vaccine this afternoon, it was less than 6 weeks since my first dose.

Have a good day gents.

Cheers, hope you have no after effects.

Difficult to improve that Jay , I know I have said it before , but S.V. Soaps can hold their own with any.

They really do..I know some people swear by tallow I have yet to find a tallow soap that beats the SV kinda puts it into perspective SV have just nailed it with their lather and the wonderful scents are just the cherry on top in my opinion

PS-Aleppo Soap
Soap-Danum
Blade-Gillette Black
Brush-Trafalger T3
Razor-Nodachi OC*
AS-Barts Lime and a dash of Retinol

*I have this on loan and with the OC plate and the Gillette blade it performed well although amazingly noisy. Danum soap always in the first rank for results even though I’m not a member of the “wedding cake” school of lathering.

Good evening everyone

Soap - TGS Abysso
Brush - Simpson T3
Razor - Rockwell 6S (4)
Blade - Gillette Rubie #8
Post - Baxters
Splash - TGS Abysso



Nothing wrong with this shave at all but TGS soaps and splashes are beginning to bore me now. They do a job but that’s it. Sorry if that sounds dull gents.

Stay safe everyone and have a great rest of the day.

Thursday 10th June

Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
Tabac Original Shaving Soap
Yaqi Daffodil w/Cashmere Synthetic 24mm
Yaqi SE w/Windrose Darwin Handle
Cloud Super Stainless (1)
Tabac Original Aftershave

I'm turning my attention to a couple of Cloud blades that I have in ... this Super Stainless and the Bruce Lee.

Tonight, the Super Stainless which is certainly a sharp enough blade giving me my usual shave in one pass with a few touch-ups. It's not that smooth. Think Shark Super Stainless kinda harshness but certainly not as sharp; more akin to the Ladas or Rapira Stainless.

Good enough, though.

Prep: Shower pears soap and PAA cube.

Pre: PAA cube

Soap: Mike’s vetiver

Brush: Omega #625 silver tip badger.

Razor: Rockwell Model T

Blade: Polsilver

Post: Alum, Baxter’s aftershave balm.

Dialled it down to one and a half today, and finally feel I’ve tamed the beast. It really is a solid piece of kit. Today was smooth and sharp, and didn’t take a layer of skin off me! The Polsilver seemed to work best for me on this low setting and no weepers! I really liked the soap, a totally different smell to what I’m used to. The razor is a great piece of kit and has challenged me all week, but feel I’m just about getting to grips with it!
