(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend... I have returned to the Silver Star Super Stainless which have became my favourite from the Lord/Sotraco factory. Out of curiosity I'll be using the same blade with each of my shaves to test it's longevity & smoothness.

Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together wonderfully...The Cella Bio Aloe Vera shaving cream provided me with a protective lather in no time it doesn't have the same slickness as the original tallow version , but it's still a very good shaving cream. I will be placing an order for a bottle of the matching Cella Aloe Vera ASL as a early birthday present to myself.

Another enjoyable close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe vera Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine. ;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

Alpha Classic G4 28mm
L’Occitane Cade soap
Claymore Evolution
Feather Proguard ( 3 )
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

As going out I wanted a quick no fuss Shave today, so breaking my already disrupted rota chose The “ Evo”. Very pleased with the result, finding the Timeless handle to really work with the Evo head.

Saturday 15 April

Blutt Br1, 086
Razo Rock xXx
Semogue badger
Personna Platinum chrome

Second shave with the Blutt/Personna and another easy 2 pass plus tidy-up for a very relaxed, comfortable and smooth shave.
Yes it’s a mild razor but it leaves my epidermis where I prefer it, viz and to wit, on my face. Unlike some of the very bad boys I have :eek:Whether this set up would be good to tackle a three day growth I’m not sure. I hate leaving a shave for a day let alone three so I will probably never find out.
Enjoy a great weekend fellas!

Brush: C&H 'Eyespot' V18
Soap: A&E Vanille de Tabac
Razor: Friodur 472
Post: A&E Vanille de Tabac

Nice shave this morning, the next part of my Tobacco kick with Vanille de Tabac. Very nice, seems like it might have a bit more vanilla than Haverford. It's a weird way to describe it so take it for what it is, but the Haverford (though strong) seems like something I would wear to work in terms of scent, if I went further than the spare room to work that is, but the vanille would be something I'd use when going out, weird like I say but there you have it.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc
 
First Saturday shave in a while I think!

Merkur HD
Rapira super stainless blade
Chubby Synthetic 2
TOBS Shaving Shop cream
TOBS Mr Taylor's AS
TOBS Herbal AS cream

To add a touch of class the items below are seated at the top of the toilet pan as there's no space in the bathroom - it's filled with my wife's stuff/'storage systems'

Have a great Saturday guys!

SOTD
Pre Proraso Green
Yaqi Sentinel 1.5mm with Chippendale handle and King C Gillette blade.
Omega Boar brush
Proraso Green soap, splash, and balm.

Nice shave to start my weekend off. This razor head is mild but efficient, smooth, and comfortable. The Proraso performance is always on point, and I needed the menthol to wake my senses.
Happy Shaving
