Saturday 5th March


Simpson Duke 3 Synthetic - Yego Cream - Pearl Blaze/Durasharp - Lustray Blue Spice AS

An interesting shave today. I have not been the greatest fan of the Simpson Premium fibre....just too much backbone compared to other knots. I am a cold water shaver but today I soaked the brush for a short time in warm water and it relaxed the fibre enough to improve the performance for me.
3 passes for a face feeler :)

SOTD: 05/03/2022

Razor: Leaf Twig
Blade: Astra SP, 2nd use
Brush: Yaqi Freedom Italian Flag 24mm Cashmere
Bowl: Captains Choice Copper Lather Bowl Standard Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat Puck
Aftershave: Tom Ford Black Orchid EDT
Balm: Bart’s Balm Sample Balm
Additional Care: Osma Laboratoires Alum Block

For once I just fancied a simple plain traditional soap, nothing over scented as I’m off out tonight and wanted a big blast of top up on the Black Orchid later on. The MWF was just the ticket and lathered easily with the Yaqi cashmere. A super simple shave on a busy day.
Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Rooney Emillion 1 Porcelain Finest (24/48)
Hemingway Accoutrements + Trumper Coconut shaving cream mixture
Wolfman WR2-SB/WRH3
Wizamet Super Iridium (9)
Hemingway Accoutrements aftershave

The two creams together made wonderful rich lather, and the fruity-floral scentof the HA blended beautifully with the Trumper coconut. The razor and blade combination was very smooth and gave me a close, lazy weekend shave.

Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
3P Shaving Soap
Omega 10098 Boar 27mm
Yaqi SE & Treet Tez (Extra)
Avon Black Musk (Vintage) Aftershave

First go with a Treet Tez (Extra) ...

Treet appear to have released a set of blades with funky coloured packaging a gooft name like Tez, Power & TJAX!!! I've just used the Tez (Extra) and I am very sure that is simply the Treet Classic re-wrapped. I guess that's what is "Extra" about it ... over and above, say, the New Edge which I found close, but a tick below the Treet Classic. Extra? Coating? Stropping? Either way, it's that click above the New Edge and very much in the exact same ballpark as the Classic.

Now, whether "Super" is better or worse than "Extra", I don't yet know ... as "Super" is the further descriptor of the Treet Power. I'm sure it was wishful thinking when I mused mid-shave that the Tez (Extra) might be a click above the Classic, but no ... it's the same as the Classic. I'll have another shave with the other half of this blade tomorrow and leave it a short while before trying out the Power for comparison.

Sun 6 SOTD
Soap OSP Bayrum
Brush Spiffo 28mm Manchurian
Razor RazoRock GC.84-P
Blade Silver Star Duridium 3rd
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel BayRum + Clubman VIBR
Very nice soap! Lovely bayrum scent with a nice creamy and slick lather...
This blade is really good and paired with the razor, became very efficient, quite comfortable but slightly less smooth going atg. 3passes for a bbs/dfs result but with 2-3 red spots. Bumps were not spared in this shave. The aftershaves were really nice.
