Simpson Duke 2. Two Band SiLVERTiP
Schick Type L. Twinjector.
Vintage Schick twin blades (8 or 9?)
OSP Fougere
Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel
Pinaud Lime Sec a/s

Finally broke out my penultimate tub of OSP Fougere.

I have a small stash of these wonderful soaps and particularly love the scent of this one.

Outstanding shave. Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday gents.
One of the best fougeres out there. I've finished mine long ago. Shame it's not available again.

Last night's shaving effort and this one is themed, 'hfy57ngatc' as randomly typed up by just hitting any key on the keyboard'

Vjjvjvuvry%& - GEM
Bfollogtucks - Cadman 24mm Tuxedo

Incomprehensible - Collegen

Wow! That last one amazed even me in the world of Randomness.


'See I told you it would read a load of old shqt if you just hit any key'

A razor which probably sits at the back of the pack a little too much and yet always gives a great sense of reward from using. A great delivery this time around, big grin value, and to the back you go again. Thank you Mr 1912.

And a (y) to the MDC and Cadman

And a (y) to the support band for the Beaver the other night. A bit of cheating here as they are actually South Korean, but hey oh you can't have evrvhhdbehjbdhd6893gg.....


 
SOTD 08-May
20230505_125802.jpg
Brush: Chubby 2 SiLVERTiP
Soap: A&E Vanille de Tabac
Razor: Koraat 6/8
Post: ADE Vanille de Tabac

Decent shave, excellent scent. Struggled a little with the lather this morning and it wasn't for lack of loading, very odd. Starting to favour the thinner grinds at the moment, even my prized 72-V isn't getting as much of a look in as the 472 or 17. When I play with the Koraat configurator again it's definitely going to be a full/extra hollow.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

Razor Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge
The soap's lather and scent are good. The brush is a joy to use.
This razor was put through the HBA around 200 laps with just water. The edge is ok..smooth and keen enough but wanted it to be better. Overall a dfs+ finish after 3passes...

Monsavon au lait
RR Hawk V1
Schick Proline ( 1 )
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

A much nicer Shave today with a fresh blade and a rich creamy lather, the budget Hawk delivered an extremely smooth and close finish. With the addition of the Ikon handle I think that I prefer it to the Hawk V3- OC.

Ikon B, RK blade
Vintage ER synthetic re-knot

Quiet morning, comfortable relaxed shave, bbs in 2 passes plus pick ups. Bliss. Who needs to spend £771 on a razor when something like this beauty does the job perfectly well?
Grandkids have departed the house, now eerily quiet, have I gone suddenly and inexplicably deaf? :eek:
I feel like I need to be active but the dull dreary weather is telling me otherwise. Oh to be in in England on a May Bank Holiday.
Have an enjoyable day fellas!
