Today's 3 pass bbs shave.

11/9/2020

Prep: Warm shower

Creme: Arko Comfort
Razor: Wilkinson sword butterfly
Blade: Feather (4)
Brush: Wilkinson Pure Bristle
Alum block: Osma
Aftershave: Witch hazel and Proraso sensitive balm

Rating: 8,5/10

A couple weepers and some irritation on the base of my neck because i insisted on a spot with no lather on.

Other than that, effortless bbs shave. The Arko works and smells fine but is not my favourite product.

Razor - Razorock Old Type
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - Some Making Required 26mm Gelousy 2-band
Soap - Tallow & Steel Rainforest 2
A/S - Tallow & Steel Rainforest 2

What a great shave. The brush has a nice medium backbone, very soft, and scrubs up a great lather. This was the best I've gotten from T&S; dense, shiny, creamy stuff with excellent primary and residual slickness, even very well hydrated. Did not require much water to dial in, it was very quick. The RR Old Type is kind of impressing me with how nice the shaves are. It's not the smoothest; the blade sticks out from under the cap quite a bit so there's a bit of chuddering. But it doesn't feel like there's a lot of exposure beyond the shaving plane, and the superb slickness ensured strokes that were smooth enough. The result is a surprisingly close shave with no irritation. Excellent!

My last 3 Shave of the Day pictures have shown shaving cream cans. I am a badger brush user all the way, but the Mrs and I recently moved to a new house and most of my shaving supplies are packed away during this transition phase. I have enjoyed mixing things up a bit with using vintage Colgate shaving cream cans such as Lanolin, Irish Spring, Aloe, and Regular. This is my first experience with Nozema shaving cream from a can. I also would like to try Santa Maria Novella’s shaving cream in a can. The lather quality of the cans is definitely not on the same level as lathers that can be achieved via badger brush and quality cream or soap. However, I am enjoying trying some of the can varieties during our house moving phase. This is only temporary and I look forward to using a badger brush to mix up some wonderful lather soon.

All the Best,

Mullard

WFSR Shave 9:
On my progress chart I'm cruising along the crest of fine shaves.
Mind you, I guess there's still plenty of time to fall into a trough... but I'm keeping my SWB as clean as I can.

Today my new TFS Mandarino Tachibana shaving soap arrived. That was the only minus point of my shave. Don't get me wrong, it worked every bit as well as my beloved Rasozero Agrumella... I just found the scent a little overpowering.* I love citrus, but I guess you can get too much of anything.

Sitting here an hour after my shave, my simple Iced Orange ASL scent has disappeared completely but the Mandarino Tachibana (which is a bit complex, scent wise) is still here in force. I suspect it may be one of those scents that "grows on you," so I'll stick with it for a few more shaves at least.

* Coming under the category of "Linea Intenso" I guess I should have expected this.

Onward!


Happy shaves guys.

Wonderful smooth shave with some great products, I like this razor but the M1 does feel a tad smoother and there is not as much blade feel as this one. Very enjoyable shave with no burn from the alum.​
