Sat 18 SR 100th SOTD (Major issues posting or reading due to limited Internet onsite so will not be posting much) Let me take the opportunity to wish all members a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Soap Yaqi Lemon Lime Cedarwood
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mojito 2 Band Badger
Razor Feather Clone Kamisori
Blade Feather ProGuard 5th Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Yaqi Lemon Lime Cedarwood Splash.
Quite a nice soap afterall. Light pleasant scent but a real cooling, thickly creamy & slick lather...
Technically my 100th SR shave but this may not count since it's so very enjoyable easy shave with the razor/blade pairing. Silky smooth, effortless efficiency in 3passes without issues for a bbs finish. Aftershaves were awesomely cold...

The nose knows
A funny way of starting this is to point out how good everything smells today. I think my nose had some sort of renaissance while I slept last night and is broadcasting orgasmic olfactory impulses to my brain. I mean everything just smells so damn good today that the shaving part is hardly registering.
I did have a bit more sting from the AS than usual, but I blame that on switching between different types of blades, razors and eras so constantly that sometimes I just don’t get the different technique required on the first pass.
Damn I smell so damn fine today!

______

Razor: Hone "Type 15"
Blade: Bic "Chrome Platinum"

Pre: CeraVe "Moisturizing Bar"

Brush: H.I.S 25mm synth
Bowl: Captain's Choice heavy copper
Lather: Speick cream + Dove cream

Post: GBS alum block
Balm: CeraVe "Moisturizing Lotion"
Frag: Azzaro "Chrome"

Another problematic shave.

I've had good results with Bic
"Chrome Platinums" in other
razors. They just don't
agree with the Hone.


OTOH, all was not lost: "The
Velvet Fog" was playing
on Pandora Radio.


Stay healthy,

Bill
