SOTD : Saturday 7th May - Friday 13th May 2022.

I really like it, my nose is notoriously terrible but even I can get the sandalwood and vanilla. I can't pick out anything else but that's not to say its not there. The scent lasted for a couple of hours which I was pleased with but wasn't so in your face that it set the Mrs off (that's a big win). Put it this way, if it rocks up again on this side of the pond again I would be tempted to get a backup.

Cheers

Marc
Thank you Marc

I misses out on the first rollout, and have my name on the notification list for when it's back in stock.

Brush: Colonel Best
Soap: MSC Only The Brave
Razor: Gillette Tech
Blade: 7 O'Clock SP (2)
Post: MSC Only The Brave

Cracking shave this morning with the tech, one up, one down and done. Smooth as silk and zero irritation, fantastic. This one is my favourite with a little more weight behind it.

Only the brave is growing on me, still a relatively subtle scent, could do with a slight kick up the arse but still does the job.

Hope everyone has a cracking day!

Cheers

Marc

Blade Persona X Series 9th
Aftershaves Yaqi Hypnotic Blue Splash
This soap is really nice and the sample size makes it great for travel. Rich, creamy, slick lather with an outstanding scent...
Another awesome shave with this blade together with the excellent razor. This blade doesn't seem to degrade much. It's been a long time since I use a DE blade past the 8th. Had a very enjoyable & satisfying easy & smooth 3passes for a mostly bbs finish without any issues. The matching aftershave is just great!!

Friday the 13th:

Jason was not about today, so no slashing about with the gold Tech or personna blade!

Razorock Blue Barbershop is pretty close to yesterday's Barber Blue, had a great lather that was cushioning and slick, don't think it's as conditioning as the fine, but decent none the less. The scent is less floral than the fine and I've liked it since first outing, so no complaints from this call-sign.

Have a great day, off to the gym in working time!

Soap – Tabac
Brush – Sagrada Familia
Razor – Parker 65R
Blade – Gillette Platinum ( blue ) (2)
A/S – Tabac
Balm – Tabac

The 65R was forgotten in my rotation for ages and last time out I was reminded how well it performs.
In combination with today’s ensemble, once again I had a super smooth and efficient shave with no drama and a fantastic start to the day.

Have a great day and enjoy your shaves.

Not the best lather today for the 1st pass, a little over hydrated, easily fixed with a bit extra loading.
2 passes going ATG and then a mixed XTG/WTG pass for a very comfortable BBS finish.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
