OCtober Wed 13 SOTD
Cream BS Maca Root & Aloe
Brush Yaqi 24mm Bali Silvertip - New & 1st Use
Razor Yaqi Dual Comb
Blade ShaverBoy Super Stainless - New & 1st Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + BS MacaRoot Aloe AS Gel
One of my top shave creams! Awesome scent with a nice creamy and slick lather...the new Silvertip is a dream! Kitten-belly fur softness and the knot is huge...felt like a 26mm...
Had a good shave with the razor paired with this new but long-in-possession blade. The razor SB side is more aggressive than the OC side & 2 out of 3 passes were with the OC side. Turns out to be not as efficient but feels crisp, smooth, and comfortable. 3passes for a bbs/dfs result without issues. Aftershaves were awesome as well.

I forgot about coming here saying “I’m in”. I’ve been in since the first of OCtober.

My weapons of choice are the Fatip open comb slant Originale and the Fatip open comb slant piccolo.

Soap is Tabac for TABACtober s well.

Velvet old type clone
Gillette 7 O'Clock Black (8)
Weirdy Beardy shave cream, brushless
Witch Hazel + Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

I've posted it before, I'm not a fan of brushless shaving creams, but this Australian product, Weirdy Beardy, really lends itself to the shallow shaving angle that works with this British Velvet.

Read a couple of recent threads about using Neutrogena Hydro Boost as an post-shave balm and I will have to agree with those promoting it so vigorously--it's good stuff.

[Raven Koenes]

SOTD:
Razor: 1907 Gillette Old Type Single Ring
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (3)
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
Cream: Squadron Dutch Resistance
Pre-Shave: Proraso Green
Post Shave: InstaSkincare Hyularonic Acid
Aftershave: Reuzel (Splash)

I completely dialed in the use of my Old Type and before Friday! It is so smooth, but today it was efficient as it was smooth. It's really like a Gillette Post War Tech in comfort, ease of use, feel, and smoothness but with blade feel. It definitely beats the New Types and leaves them in the dirt. In case you have forgotten, here are the words of TobyC upon hearing the Old Type beat out the New Types in the now infamous grudge match:

THE OLD TYPE WINS!!! OLD WINS!!! THE OLD TYPE WINS!!!

Gillette NEW Short Comb

 

[Raven Koenes]

How much better can it be with a rigid razor. I think the hickup is me, but, a good tool can help.

Better, Michael, better!

 

[tehnothing]

Better, Michael, better!

I'm inclined to believe it, but, I have to put it in practice to see. I may not make it till Sunday.

OCtober XIII

Ever had one of those shaves that starts with a big mistake?

Today, I started my shave and wasn’t paying attention…way to much Mogno cream in my scuttle. And what a great “mistake” it was, I had a silly amount of warm, slick lather. (Don’t tell anyone but, I’m thinking about messing up again tomorrow.)

That awesome lather was applied with my super soft PAA Solar Flare 3.5 times and I still had a lot left.

My Red and Black Set (New LC) did a great job removing my stubble.

Fun shave.
