SOTD: Saturday March 4 - Friday 10 March 2023.

Second shave with the Shark Super Stainless, this time with a razor I haven't used for years. They paired really well and gave am excellent smooth and close shave when combined with the superb Londinium shaving soap. The lime smell is superb and this is likely to get a lot of use over the next few months.
Finished with cold water and the Old Marine cologne which hit the spot!

After returning to DE from the straight I really appreciate how much easier a DE is. I needed something bright and invigorating to get me through the evening and this Stirling Soap is about as vibrant as my collection gets. I'm still culling razors from the collection and the GC is staying over the SLOC.

The Londinium to me really is a top soap, scent wise and lather wise. A God. Odysoapus

Soap: Signature Wicstun Puck

I applied a little more pressure today to see if could eek a little more efficiency out of the Guerrilla. It semi worked and felt marginally better but by mid morning I could feel my stubble Beginning to return. It’s a lovely mild shaver, and the design and finish are spot on but unfortunately it is just too mild even for me.
It’s my birthday tomorrow so I’ll make that my last shave with the Guerrilla and go with my current favourite razor instead. Thanks a lot for the opportunity to join the passaround and for the chance to try my first Wolfman it was much appreciated. I can see why they are held in such high regard but if need to some for a more aggressive version.

Have a great birthday. Regards Brian

Lo, what is this trickery? Well, I took the photo earlier in the day with the intended razor but as my Dremel polishing kit arrived in the afternoon, I set to the Rockwell with relish and fervour. Once complete and in its mirrored finery, I could hardly keep with my original choice. And yes, I couldn’t be arsed taking another photo when this ‘un came out well. So swap out the Jagger and pop in a very shiny R6S and job jobbed.

Wed 8
Soap & Aftershave Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mountain Lake
Razor Joseph Rodgers 5/8
A beautifully rich, creamy, and slick lather... whip up nicely with the excellent brush. The soap's & matching splash scent is very nice and intoxicating plus an icy cool feeling...nice! The razor is nimble and very nice too. Smooth and comfortable enough in 3passes for a dfs-sas finish...
 
Belated birthday greetings..I hope you had a wonderful day.
