SOTD: Saturday April 22 - Friday 28 April 2023.


April 25.

Razor - Asylum Shave Works - Rx V2
Blade - Schick Proline 50mm
Soap - Folk Soap - Traditional Shaving Soap
Brush - Zenith unbleached boar, Olivewood handle
Post - Refinery ASB
Frag - Citron Citron - Miller Harris EDP

Another close and smooth shave from the Rx fitted with a Proline blade.
The head of this razor reminds me of the Cobra SE I used to use however this razor is better in many respects and when used at the same angles as you would with an injector razor it gives very good results.
The Folk Soap is very good indeed, and never fails to produce an excellent lather.

Until the next time, stay safe and shave happy!

Paul.

Tabac Tuesday
Pre - Pears Transparent Original
Brush - Semogue Torga C5 Boar
Soap - Tabac
Razor - Colonial General V2
Blade - Kai Captain Titan Mild
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Vintage Tabac
A/S - Tabac Aftershave Splash

Nothing wrong with any part of that shave. Superb.

Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
 
There are "MARCK" straight razors, but they have "Sheffield Steel" blades, so probably not related.
 
Tues 25th April

Alpha Classic G4 28mm
MWF
Occams Enoch
Schick Proline ( 1 )
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

Though a very nice Razor blade changing can be a bit of a trial, well it was today as it took longer than the Shave. I think that I prefer the Hiram Commander because of this problem,

 
Rather partial to French hoes myself too!
 
25/4/23

Brush - Shed Eleven/27mm Boti N3C
Soap - Lea Stick
Razor - Gillette New FB (raw brass)
Blade - Bic Chrome Platinum (8)
AS - Makler Celebration

3 days worth of growth were mowed down well by the raw brass FB NEW, which is quite a bit more efficient than the other FB NEW I own. I'm impressed with the BCP as well. 8th shave and it only seemed to feel a bit rough in the shave today.

Sticking with the SE theme, today was my first shave using a Schick injector type razor...

Schick Injector J3 Golden 500
Persona Blade
TABAC
FS Synthetic Brush
Loreal post shave Balm



So, first attempt using a Schick razor and one word sums up the shave, easy.

Stuck to bowl lathering and cool water, TABAC whipped up nicely with a bit of effort, maybe 60 seconds or so.

Razor was very smooth and did fine job, no irritation no nicks or weepers just an easy shave, almost too easy so had to pay attention and not get too interested in the football commentary! Two passes, not the closest shave, but I'm not bothered about BBS four pass shaves etc just a good daily shave, and the schick delivered nicely.

To me, it's the perfect razor for those days when you just need an easy shave or short of time and just want minimul fuss.

Another razor that will join the rotation of hardware I was trying to narrow down but seems to be growing once more.

Stay well all.
