Thu 1st SOTD
Soap Margaritas in the Arctic
Brush Yaqi 26mm Mysterious Space Tuxedo
Razor Fatip OC Slant on the Grande Handle
Blade Gillette Platinum 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel & Aloe Margaritas in the Arctic + Hyaluronic
Marvelously good lather from the soap. Boozy pleasant scent, really cold sensation, creamily thick and slick....love it for our hot weather!!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good enough for 3passes without any weepers today but somehow not as efficient even though the blade was only on its 2nd use. Just used the Stirling MITA Witchhazel as an aftershave and it was great!! The intense cold from the soap, ice water & the witchhazel...wow...marvelous experience!

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

"white rabbit white rabbit white rabbit!"

Last outing of the Shark Super Stainless blade to finish my shaving week & month off using various Lord DE blades...

The Silver Star Super Stainless & Lord Platinum Class are my favourite blades from the lord camp however, the Asco & Shark Super stainless are the smoothest out of them which is my preference in a blade over sharpness. The longevity of the Silver Star Super Stainless & Lord Platinum Class, which i am convinced are the same blade" in different covers? have a nice balance of efficiency & smoothness....Long story short, each of the blades from the Lord camp have gave acceptable shaving results with no intermittent quality problems throughout the month.

The Weishi 2.0 Adjustable/Shark Super Stainless blade duo was a real smooth efficient combo...The Weishi Adjustable performance on the higher settings work wonderfully.

Another enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...A great shave to finish my shaving week...Finishing the shave off in style with a generous splash of Gummy ~ Traditional Turkish Tobacco Cologne.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.😎

Calling out the Big Boy today: Paladin Lotus. This brush is guaranteed to make good lather and enough of it for four-pass face shave and two pass head shave. The S-1 and Red make a nice combo. A perfect shave
