Wednesday 27th October, shave #300

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary Edition
Brush: Vulfix Simpson small synthetic
Razor: GC.68 OC, Astra SP #2
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Hyaluronic Acid.

Giving my new synthetic brush a test drive. This was not expensive, and feels more comfortable than my run-in boars, so a worthwhile upgrade.

With plenty of time, I went for the full multi-pass, and got a fine result without any irritation.

Shave #301. The Karve B SB is a great smooth and easy shave with enough efficiency to get through a day at the office.

 

[SgtCrppls]

I should shave twice in one day so I can catch up. Lol

Thursday 28th October, shave #301

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive
Brush: Vulfix Simpson Small Synthetic
Razor: GC.68 SB, Vintage Personna Super Platinum Chrome #3
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Hyaluronic Acid.

Had a job getting the lather right with this synthetic. First it was too thin, loaded more soap, and then it was too thick. It feels better than a boar though.

Overall, got a relaxing DFS with my mild Game Changer.

Friday 29th October, shave #302

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: Vulfix Simpson Small Synthetic
Razor: GC.68 OC, Astra SP #3
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Hyaluronic Acid.

Loaded the soap heavily this time, and then did the foolproof gradual hydration thing.

I'm impressed with this synthetic brush — no bristle loss so far ✓, and it feels good ✓.

Took my time, did all the passes, and got a very comfortable near-BBS, so I might have been getting some boar-related irritation.

Sunday 31st October, shave #304

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: Vulfix Simpson small synthetic
Razor: GC.68 OC, Astra SP #2
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Hyaluronic Acid.

Went for the basic WTG and XTG on my face, WTG on my neck, and got a surprisingly close, irritation-free result.

Final shave of an enjoyable OCtober. The Game Changer .68 open comb is currently my favourite razor. It's as comfortable as the safety bar version, and more efficient.

First shave of November, and #305 on the year. The mixed metal Timeless is a fantastic shaver. The scent of this SW soap is very unique.

Shave #305

Razor: Wolfman WR1/WRH2 handle
Blade: Polsilver SI (2)
Brush: Simpsons tulip 3 super
Soap: PdP #63

Sorry! I missed posting on this thread yesterday, but posted a SOTD on ‘How international are you today?’ (Hope I can still participate“ )

Monday 1st November, shave #305

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary Edition
Brush: Vulfix Simpson small synthetic
Razor: Rockwell 6S, R4, Vintage Personna Super Platinum Chrome #4
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Hyaluronic Acid.

Feeling half asleep, so chose the Rockwell for its autopilot capability. The blade was still good on its 4th use, and I'm liking SV's performance and scent.

Got a comfortable DFS result.
