SOTD: Saturday 6th January - Friday 12th January 2018.

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Shavemac TSR 2015
Cream: Traditional Shaving Leodis
Razor: Gillette SR Old Type
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, 4711 AS

After yesterday's disappointment I thought I'd renew my faith in DEs, so I fetched the ever reliable OT.
The cream was gifted to me by @Benz3ne, much appreciated Ben and I was very impressed indeed, a quick sniff, ah citrus 4711 will suit it nicely.
Citrus? It's a whole bloody orchard, with apple dominant.
Slickness isn't bad, cushion very good and the Old Type danced around my face like a spring chicken, not bad considering that it'll become a Centenarian at some point this year.
A great end to the week indeed.

Pre Shave: Hot Shower + Body Shop Maca Root face wash and Proraso White
Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable T2 (1973) on #7
Blade: Lord Cool (#3)
Brush: Maseto 24mm Extra Density 2 Band Finest
Soap: Haslinger Seaweed
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphreys Witch Hazel
AS: Nivea Soothing Balm

Second outing for my new Maseto extra density brush and the tips are feeling like those on the 30mm fan shape Maseto, I not sure what is actually meant by gel tips but that is how I would describe the feel of the tips when wet.
 
 
PRE - Shower & almond oil

SOAP - Haslinger sheep milk & Haslinger Aloe Vera (mixed)

BRUSH - SOC Boar

RAZOR - Thiers Issard, Damascus steel, 6/8, hollow ground, natural horn scales

POST - Almond oil & Razorock Stallion

Lovely shave from this straight.
The face feel is different than any other steel straight.
Haslinger always does the job. Great performance!

I'm glad you like it Paul! It will give you great shaves once you get confident with your technique.

A full system shave today, great results.

The Personal Barber synthetic brush
Gillette Super Stainless (2)
Bluebeards Revenge pre shave oil
Bluebeards Revenge shaving cream
Bluebeards Revenge aftershave balm

The products work well. I had some issues with the balm I originally bought as it went to water. Contacted them and they swapped it even though I bought it from Tesco. Turns out the product was a few years old so no idea how long Tesco had it. The new version is great, only issue is it takes a little while to fully dry and stays a little tacky whilst it dries.

The cream is good. Although I would say it is a very soft soap and not a cream like the packaging says.

Hi Elias,

I hope you have better weather than in the UK !
I must admit to being a little afraid of the shavette, as the slightest sideways movement will t in bloodshed.
This was my best effort with it so far and it's given me a bit more confidence .
