Another very nice looking version of the Czar not mentioned in the Waites razor compendium. Doncaster doesn’t sound very French, it’s a city in South Yorkshire

It's a peculiar choice of brand name ... even with a faux-French pronounciation: Doncasteur

Cream Saponificio Bignoli Mora E Muschio (Black Berry & Musk)
Brush Yaqi 24mm, Purple Mink
Razor Rene Cheron Chatellerault Rattler 1st use
Aftershave B&M Le Grand Chypre Splash
Beautiful lather from this cream! Matched nicely with the splash.
The debut of this vintage French razor after successfully honing it starts from cheap stones and finishes with the LaLune & HBA...followed by the roo leather. Wow...nice edge...smooth and crisp enough in 3passes for a bbs-dfs finish. My 2nd successful hone...I am stoked!

I suppose if you're in Doncaster, "Paris" or "Lille" might sound sophisticated. I can only assume that the reverse is true for French razor manufacturers! ;-)

I originally dug out a Wilkinson Sword black bowl that I found at the back of the cabinet, which was the first soap I bought. Was thinking of having a go for old times sake before giving it away. Tried working it up on my face but it was so pants I decided not to bother. Not sure it belongs in a PIF either, can't see anyone liking it. Smells OK but the lather was meh. So I thought some CK-6 would be a better choice. No brainer.

The shave was smooth and comfortable with excellent results. I might put a blob of Creightons balm on, but tbh my skin feels great with no post shave after this.

Wednesday the 26th day of Artisan April


Omega 100005 Boar - Nannys Silly Soap Moroccan Sand - Razorine/Gillette Super Thin - Lustray Spice

Probably my favourite soap scent. A pity it is no longer available.

26/04/23
Pre - Pears Transparent Original
Brush - Erasmic AP Shave Co Gelousy Bulb 20mm
Soap - Vintage GIBBS 1950's
Razor - Gillette Slim Adjustable H3 "Travel"
Blade - Vintage Perma-sharp Supreme
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Tonyschin's Cedarwood Balm & Argan Oil
A/S - Williams Aqua Velva Formula 1

Countdown from 4 shaves left with the vintage Gibbs.

The re-knotted Erasmic whipped up the Gibbs to a gloriously slick, thick lather, plenty for a 3 pass shave. It feels great in the hand and wonderful on the face.
I set the Birthyear slim to #3 and left it there, i completed 3, very mild, comfortable passes although i needed a little bit touch up here and there for an easy BBS finish.
A nice post shave routine finishing with a splash of Williams.
Yeah! I really did enjoy that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Martin de Candre Original
Semogue SOC Taj
Blackland Blackbird
Treet Platinum
Signature Soaps Hibernia splash


​

The Blackbird seems to be getting closer as I continue to use it. The Treet blade is still sharp and smooth and the Semogue held enough lather for two passes… just. An excellent shave.

Perhaps they were marketed there under other names, maybe even had a deal with MARCK straight razors.

Razor: Blackland Era
Blade: Voskhod Teflon Coated, 3rd use
Brush: Knothead Brush Works 26mm AP Shave Co. Synbad
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: Bart’s Balms Lochnagar Oil
Soap: Signature Wicstun Puck
Aftershave: Signature Wicstun Aftershave
Balm: L’Oréal All In 1 Moisturising Cream Balm
Fragrance: Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man EdP

A fabulous shave as usual thanks to the Wicstun Signature soap. Occasionally I’ve started loading my brushes that little heavier than normal recently, not from need just for a thicker more luxurious shave and couldn’t think of a better soap to do it with and start the week with a lime blast. It was a delight as it always is and just the treat to the face and nose I needed to start another busy week at work.
All the best guys.

Thanks Lee. We’ll have to encourage people to load up brushes more, I might get more sales that way

I think another shave would be pushing my luck, felt a bit tuggy on my top lip.
Wouldn’t mind trying out a soap next but can’t see anything in the shops around me. Used to see the Wilkinson sword stick everywhere!

Edit: oops, meant Palmolive stick, whatever the green one is
