SOTD: Saturday May 20 - Friday 26 May 2023.

A couple of you using that Droyt's glycerine soap... gonna have to try it. I've never tried washing my face with one of those soaps and I can't find the Ach Brito one anywhere.

 

[hotmetal]

Yes it was Ebberman that put me onto it by sending me some. The shave soap I've only used once or twice and it seems to dissipate a bit easily but maybe I just haven't got the hang of it. But the normal hand soap from them is very good for the wash before the shave, and I leave a little of the slipperiness on my face while I lather up. So far I've used the 'light Cologne' one, and I think Tonyschin had the rose one.

Aaaaaannnnd, it is that time when I have to say 'For my final entry for this past week of SOTD's I proudly present to you (and much to your disappointment) my final shave themed 'Bottom''



And so themed after today's digression in to the world of Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson..




Bottom line - Yaqi Excalibur
Bottom shaving - Feather Super Professional
Bottom brush - Highlander 26mm Cashmere
Bottom cream - Abbate Y Mantia Krokos
Bottom softener - Collegen
Sphincter bleach - Goutal Eau D'Hadrien

'By jolly, now that does sting'

So impressed by the little Yaqi the other night I decided to reach for it once again, and once again it performed way beyond it has the right to do so. One superb little piece of Chinese magnificence.

To match the smallest razor in the collection just go for the biggest brush. The Krokos is one of those rare jars it actually fits in to for face lathering. But with a head my size it would take a bloody sweeping brush and a mop bucket of lather. Still, a nice pair

As I made known earlier this week I have a new Highlander LFC brush winging its way. However as can be seen from this one I am actually a Blue nose bastard Evertonian and when the LFC brush arrives it can go in the Wicker man blademonkey rejected.

Have a smashing weekend you lovely people and always remember.....I love you all

And as recent tradition dictates I sign off with some puffyshoes from their Finally the Weekend album. Aren't they just superbly sweet?





As if I'd ever be a Blue.....even though I do follow their fate and would love them to stay up on Sunday. No Derby and no one to slate? Wouldn't be a football season

Well, what a grand wee razor this is. Absolutely great shave despite the light weight and I must say I’m smitten. Could just be the wonder of vintage Ingram though…

The Bakelite beauty strikes again! Faultless, easy shave with a blade I love and my favourite ever shaving cream. This could be my favourite Tech of them all. I certainly have no wish to use another razor or blade. Roll on June, I've got you sorted.

I think you’ll find we were the better team for the entire 90 minutes.
For all the cheating you done you still couldn’t finish third in a record breaking season

Time of the month is it, mate? Don't worry, it'll be over soon. Tried meds? Herbalist? Matron could help....
