SOTD "FREE WEEK" March 29th - April 4th, 2021

[B_R_A_D]

Rating: 10 / 10 Fantastic shave
Razor: Timeless .95 Titanium Scalloped
Blade: Gillette London Bridge (1)
Brush: Chisel and Hound “Buffalo Valley” with 26mm V9 Fanchurian
Bowl: Captain’s Choice Copper Lather Bowl (Heavyweight)
Lather: Barrister and Mann Le Grand Chypre
Post-shave:
• Omega Alum Stick
• Barrister and Mann Le Grand Chypre Aftershave Splash
• Barrister and Mann Le Grand Chypre Aftershave Balm

3 passes (WTG, XTG & ATG)
+ BBS! Close and smooth like my favourite Perma-Sharp Super
+ No cuts, irritation, redness, tugging or bumps / ingrowns
• Minimal feedback with alum
• 2 small weepers that went away with alum. Believe they were from the atrocious last shave with the Bic where I had dozens of weepers so no points deducted

Saturday shave

Prep: Noxzema
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Cubebe
Brush: Simpsons Astor A1 in Best
Razor: Timeless .68 matte SS, #5
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel, #2
Post: alum -> hyaluronic acid -> Skin Bracer splash

Back to the .68 tonight. Two passes for DFS everywhere except my lower neck, which rated SAS. Remembered to keep a light touch tonight so feedback was relatively mild. Supersteel performed well again.

Soap Stirling Orange Chill
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor Gillette New SC
Blade Asco Super Stainless 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + TGS Orange Empire
Very nice lather as usual from the soap. Fizzy orangy and cooling...thickly creamy and slick, awesome!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was smooth, comfortable, and efficient enough after 3passes for a mostly bbs finish. 1 micro red spot though. Super cool aftershaves...

Keep at it. My Dart took a good number of shaves to dial in. I find it more aggressive than the Blackbird.

Agree with @Klinker for sure, every little item is different and unique, it all takes some getting used to... People with a lot of experience, always tend to think they can make things work perfectly first try, till they try it a few more times, and notice, that things can get better than what they initially thought Not giving up to begin with, is the key to success As an old motto of mine goes (Don't bit*h at me now ) :

“The key to success... Is to find the key”

Happy shaves, stick to it, tomorrow is another try


Have a nice day / evening, gentlemen, and gentletts

Feeling sharp is a state of mind. Looking sharp takes work.

Preshave: Saponificio Varesino Icelandic Volcanic Sand Scrub (Wanted to pair it with Stirling Soap Co. Almond Creme, because the Caramel scent of, Saponificio Varesino Icelandic Volcanic Sand Scrub, would go perfectly with the Almond Creme i think? Last minute change, i wanted something cooling, cause i felt hot, and i hate summer, and it is not here yet, so the Margarita it was)
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Treet “Black Beauty” #8
Soap: Stirling Soap Co. Margaritas In The Arctic (For you who have tried it, how amazing is that scent?! I love it, Stirling, definitely knows how to hit good scent combos, the only one i have issues with so far, and not that it is bad or anything, but the, Bay Rum, the Cloves take over too much, anyone agrees?!)...
Brush: Semogue 620
Aftershave: Bielenda Black Sugar Soap Wash
Perfume: Antonio Banderas King Of Seduction Absolute EDT... If anyone here has tried it, does it also to you, smell like: Calvin Klein CK IN 2U?! If you've tried that as well of course

Have a nice day / evening, gentlemen, and gentletts

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave...The parker 22r / winner stainless was a wonderful smooth efficient duo... I've mentioned in many of my postings that shaving products produced in the subcontinent don't get the credit they rightly deserve the winner stainless is another example that you don't need to spend a fortune on DE blades to get a good shave.

A pleasurable 3 pass + pickups close comfortable shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off a with a generous squirts of Duru ~Lemon Cologne Spray.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Easter Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
