SOTD "FREE WEEK" March 4th - March 10th, 2019

[Norman Gunston]

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: M&F / Brad Sears Finest Badger
Soap: Stirling Margaritas In The Arctic
Razor: ATT SE1 / UFO Tornado
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (3)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Dior Eau Sauvage

It is extremely hot in most areas of the Great Southern Land, and menthol soaps are a blessed relief at this time of year.
The short loft of the 26mm knot M&F brush is fantastic for soap loading, and soon had a good load ready to go. I initiailly bowl lathered using the blue Timeless bowl, then transferred to the face to finish the process. Was DFS+ after two passes, and BBS after the third, with a lovely post shave.
I had thought that this would be the final shave with this tin of Stirling Soap, but she has one more left in her!

Lovely 2 passer. I know we are in Winter and the snow is flying but I do love the scent of Fall’s Lumberjack or just Lumberjack as it is labelled now. The Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia was a perfect face lathering machine.

Friday Night

‘64 Ball End Tech
Rapira Swedish (1)
Omega Boar
Proraso Sandalwood
Soap and AS lotion.

Ah FABULOUS shave tonite,
Great results. BBS finish.
This is a combo of tools I could use for every shave if I had to. Always works well. No irritation encountered. Usually I shave every other day but lately it’s been everyday. I can’t wait that extra day to shave. It’s something now that I’m always thinking about. Not much stubble to remove but this Rapira did a decent job. Medium sharpness and comfortable.
Now should I try and wait for 2 days this time? The BIG question indeed.

Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...I recently use the Bolzano Superinox blade and was totally impressed by it's smooth sharp efficiency & performance after it's fifth use..well, i've pushed the boat out and carried on with the same blade to see if it can still perform with it's smooth sharpness, the verdict?....Still feeling amazingly smooth & sharp with no signs of tugging, resulting in a very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.A superb shave...I'm going to use the blade again tomorrow for it seventh outing!

Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of Boots ~ Freshwood ASL.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
