SOTD "British Razors" Theme Week 14-20 July 2014

[Cash_Stronomer]

Cash_Stronomer... what's the bottle with the wind mill on?

Quite a mix actually. It's a '40s Mennen bottle I keep my AV Blue in, that I made a label for.

Brush: Custom koa/muskox/buffarlo horn 24mm Silvertip

Thanks Chris!
The scent is unique, it reminds me of the barber shop I'd go to with my dad.

Stirling barbershop is awesome.

Alfredo, a little more info. My latest BB soap batch code is 2208 (taped to inner flap of the refill box).

I think I should apologize as what I wrote misled you!
I did not buy the BB I mentioned: it has been given me from a friend with the notice it was the Whip Hard version (No tallow)

Now, batch nbr apart, I cannot see the tallow in the formula of your soap, therefore I assume it the newer version.

There are extensive discussion threads on BB soap reformulations in past few years.

I imagine, but... as I can live without it, I never went too much in depth.
Penhaligons is a a luxury brand and I have been captured by this aspect of the product...

(I wonder, is there a database, somewhere, of shave product batch codes for major manufacturers??)

I do imagine so. I found out there are databases for everything!

I see...
A very good job for sure!

Hey Friends,

i just endet a very fine shave.

-Prep: hot shower
-Soap: Jabonman "Brisa de Oriente"
-Brush: Semogue "Barbear Classico" Texugo
-Razor: Toro Mastiff
-Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome
-Aftershave: Tcheon Fung Sing "Sandalo Boise" Aftershave Balm (Sample)

http://www11.pic-upload.de/20.07.14/832a75o6tnve.jpg

Great shave. The Jabonman "Brisa de Oriente" has a scent, which brought the shave to a new level. Heavenly. The Toro Mastiff shaves excellent. Very thoroughly and at the same time very gentle. Important is, that you don´t apply any pressure.

When the sample of the Sandalo Boise Aftershave Balm has endet, i will order a full one. What a great Balm. The scent is fantastic. Sandalwood at it´s best, with a touch of "Oriental" notes. WOW!!! Great skin care and a very little goes a long long way.

So, i hope you enjoyed (and will enjoy) your shaves. Have a great time and take care of you.

Greetings
Thorsten

Sunday

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Bath Soap
Soap: Maggard Fougere Sauvage
Razor: Gillette Slim [8]
Blade: Personna Viking’s Sword (6)
Brush: oscar11 TGN 2-Band Finest-24mmx50mm
Aftershave: Fine American Blend

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

I used my Maggard Fougere Sauvage today. Awesome lather! I left my Slim set on “8” again for the 6[SUP]th[/SUP] shave with the Personna Viking’s Sword. Previously, I had only done 4 shaves with a VS blade. The Viking’s Sword has no problem “going the distance”! Great smooth, close, nick free shave. I finished up with Fine American Blend.
