Semogue Saturdays!


Hello friends

Beautiful autumnal Saturday. I took the opportunity to debut the mighty Pegasus Mistura.

I used it straight from the box, without any type of preparation, other than leaving it to soak all night. It will probably become my favorite brush once it softens. For now he is an avid lather eater. I used twice the amount of soap I normally use. The Pegasus' handle is bigger and heavier than the SOC's and I like it better. But, it's worth remembering that I have big hands. According to my father, I would be a great pianist and a terrible urologist.

I took advantage of the temperature to use the great SV Desert Vetiver and finish with Malizia Uomo AS.

Greencult 2.0 plate IV and Gillette Platinum light blue combine divinely. This blade, the one made by PPI, is becoming one of my favorites. I'll try to make a small stock while it's still available.

The brilliant Art Pepper was with us.

SV Saturday

Razor: Lupo 95 SB
Blade: GSB (7)
Brush: Simpsons Trafalgar T3
Soap: SV 70th Anniversary
A/S: Clinique Happy For Men
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight for SV Saturday I went for 70th Anniversary as it has been t-shirt (or for me polo shirt) weather today. We don't get many days like that here, it seems to have been raining since last June. I switched to the Lupo tonight just to see how it did with the GSB blade. The shave was excellent and I think it just about edged the Rockwell giving me a BBS. I will keep using the Lupo with the GSB, at least for now

SV Saturday 20th April

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: Rockwell 6S R6, Ti Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave

I used Opuntia for SV Saturday, and got the usual fine bowl-lather. Performance is the same as Cubebe, but I prefer the scent.

The Rockwell with R6 plate did a comfortable job of getting me a near-BBS.

Sv dolomiti, the very first sv I tried and my favourite. Plus the super wonderful sv brush.
If anyone is reading this thread and crying over the disappearing tallow soaps, try any SV. They will forget all about tallow.

What a shave! 3 days of growth, Argania is so nice. Vector Ti paired with a schick p-30, no pressure and never against the grain. 2-pass bbs

Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (1)
Brush: Muhle Rocca R94 STF
Soap: SV Opuntia
A/S: CK IN2U
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight for SV Saturday Opuntia stepped up with the Rocca set on duty and the fallen GSB was replaced with another Gillette, the 7 O'Clock Sharpedge, another blade which I only have one of. I lathered up and hacked away with the Rocca until I had a BBS. I do find however that the 7 O'Clock Sharpedge is not quite as smooth as the green 7 O'Clock Stainless Steel.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Cubebe
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave

I used Cubebe for SV Saturday, and got a fine bowl-lather. Am I about to hit bottom in this tin? SV lasts even better than MWF, I think.

Got a good near-BBS.

Hello friends

Hot Saturday around here. I chose SV 70th Anniversary for today. Semogue Pegasus Mistura starts to show itself in this fourth shave. Greencult 2.0 plate IV and Gillette Silver Blue (2) made my weekend very happy. I finished with the splendid Aqua Velva Ice Blue.

Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight for SV Saturday Desert Vetiver came up for rotation lathered with the Purple Mink. Changing to the Lupo Didn't make any difference to the shave despite the larger gap than the Rocca. I ended up with the same result as yesterday so I will switch back to the Rocca tomorrow

SV Saturday



Hello friends

Beautiful Saturday around here! I chose what I think is the soap with the quintessential modern barbershop scent: SV Manna di Sicilia, which pairs perfectly with the classic barbershop scent of Floïd The Genuine. Greencult 2.0 plate IV, the gap and high exposure razor I became physically dependent on. Gillette Platinum Light Blue (1) is stupendous with it. And crowning the event was my favorite brush: the might Pegasus Mistura.

With us, my friend Stanley Turrentine.

Tonight for SV Saturday 70th Anniversary came back around again hurrah! I fancied lathering it with my still favourite brush, the Kosmo, always an easy and popular choice in my den. The Sharpedge was loaded into the Rocca for it's 15th shave. It went as well as every other SV shave, just fantastic. I came out with a near BBS so a good result.
