Today’s razor was the Timeless Bronze OC .78. Beautiful razor with fit and finish being as nice as my Timeless SS OC .95. The Bronze has a reputation for being pretty aggressive but I loaded it up with a Super-Max Blu Diamond and took it slow.

Soap of the day A&E Cafe au Lait. Wow! What a great scent lots of chocolate and coffee...makes you hungry! Great performer too! Very impressed all around with this one and the only A&E soap I have. The matching AS was also quite nice!

Through a very wonderful two pass DFS/BBS. What an incredible razor! Very efficient but quite smooth.

Friday, 10/4:

Razor - Razorock SLOC head, barber pole handle
Blade - Shark Super Chrome (1)
Brush - Simpson's Chubby 2 super badger (face lather)
Cream - TOBS Sandalwood
Aftershave - Supply Arenella Coast

Razor was great, brush not so much, but it was the first time using it, so I expect it to get better. Should've used more cream, but the SLOC head, kindly sent to me by @Tanuki, shaved super close; the Shark might've been the wrong blade, but man, the results. I'll try an Astra or something next time. Phenomenal result.

Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend.i'm making this a vintage SE razor week ,starting with the micromatic Open Comb...Like my other vintage SE razors my shaving angle is almost sliding flat against the skin.Out of all the vintage SE razors the Gem Micromatic OC is the most efficient mowing down my stubble with effortless ease showing no mercy.However, as with any razor i shave with regardless if it's aggressive or non-aggressive respect,good technique shaving confidence, & no pressure is essential,especially when shaving with the efficient micromatic.

Maiden shave with the new turkish Boar brush which was gifted to me by my family ,along with the two sticks of arko & lemon turkish cologne,a wallet of 20 styptic matches, 5 pack of Shark SS blades and a Ali Bıyıklı shavette which i've passed on to my local Kurdish barber who i buy my arko shave sticks from when required, i told him to put the shavette to good use,as i will never use it, he said he would use it on his next customer who wants a wet shave.

A practical array of turkish holiday wet shaving gifts that will be put to good use...The shaving brush only shred a few hairs, after a pre-wash which removed neally all the animal scent,which wasn't that bad to be honest, then i repeated the same process and finally gave it a brisk rub down with a towel,a comb to remove any snags or cotters,then dried it out totally before use.It doesn't have a great deal of density & backbone,but has soft tips, after a pre soak in warm water it built a slick protective acceptable lather in a short space of time for both my face & head shave...What more can i ask for?

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth and smelling devine.

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
