Sunday 5th February, shave #36

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Hyaluronic Acid

Continuing with SV70, I had plenty of time, so had a relaxing near-BBS.

Soap: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary

I was wondering, what does it smell like?
Is it fruity, or flowers, or wood,...?

I was wondering, what does it smell like?
Is it fruity, or flowers, or wood,...?

Floral, with a bit of greenery? ... bright, but a fairly weak scent.

I see SV's mildly-scented soaps as a deliberate plan — and if you particularly like any of their soaps, you can always buy their more concentrated after-shaves, which I haven't done yet.

Having smelled some pure vetiver oil ten years ago, I'd probably like their vetiver one more than (say) Cubebe, but shaving with that is not a penance.

Notes to today’s shave:

Perhaps against better judgment, but the Tiger got paired today with the R41 for a sixth (and during the shaving apparent) and final run. The R41 tamed the Tiger into performance, but the previous 5 shaves already took the edge off the blade and its performance was sub standard for me. It got the job done, but by the time I did the third pass I had the idea that no matter how much 0strokes and buffing I would do, stubble would remain. So the end result was a mere SAS on the neck and chin, and CCS- on cheeks and upper lip. Still - no weepers, cuts or nicks and it was even more comfortable in the R41 as opposed to the Flatboy. I think I will use OBiF to experiment which razors work best with this razor. I already have a good handle on the vintage Gillettes (who all make the Tiger perform, with the NEW Improved and NEW Flat Bottom delivering BBS shaves) and for February and SWS I have selected a number of razors that have never met the Tiger yet, including my beloved Ti95.

Enjoy your shave today!

Day 37 - shave 37

Muhle R41
Gillette Perma-Sharp (6th use)
Simpson Chubby 1
Proraso Red

Decided to give this blade a stern test by putting it in an R41 for its 6th use and the blade passed with flying colours

If you can find it anywhere get a sniff of Clinique Happy for Men, it smells exactly like that

Having smelled some pure vetiver oil ten years ago, I'd probably like their vetiver one more than (say) Cubebe, but shaving with that is not a penance.

I find Desert Vetiver to have a clean, fresh almost medicinal scent

Thank you for the info
Flowers, grass, bright, sounds good

Will do, thnx

Shave 37/365

Lather: Canada Shaving Soap

Well same basic setup as usual Timeless Ti .68 SB
the rest ya can see
the blade left side the Treet ultra sharp the right (easy) was the green 7
I do think the Treet was better during shave sharper cleaner feeling and post was about equal both had a touch more tingle with the AS hitting the face but very close and did a bit more clean up to push them more than I normally want to just to see
so yeah the Treet Ultra Sharp is very good and will go forward in one to do a bit more deeper dive with especially for the fact I see them around the $7-8 range for 100

Shave #37. First day of a week using the big gap Wolf WR1 .86. Wow this razor is eFFicient with capital F's!
The lather was a rather odd duck day trying to use this new Uomo Sparrow synthetic brush. Very different kind if knot that I haven't figured out yet.

 

[Jayson74]

Still in with 37 of 365.

Thought I was gonna have to drop out due to my skin not liking the daily shaves. Until I pulled out my Henson mild, 2 passes - DFS and no post treatment needed. I guess its all I really need.

I have had a few products irritate my face and for sure worse on long term use of them
a recent one did have a bit but thinking it might be a certain scent OR was another product I was using that was kinda breaking the camels back so to say !
