There are no failures in the SWS, only adjustments. There are 52 weeks in the year, so don't be so hard on yourself.

Well Said!

Shave of the Week (SWS) Selection... and still GRUME/GRUYERE-ing

I pulled out the Stirling brush and decided to give this setup a go for the week. It seems to fit the damp cool weather we have had recently. DFS+ results today.

Shave of the Week Starting 2/19/2024


Gillette Fatboy razor
Gillette 365 blade
Plisson/L'Occitane brush
Seaforth SS (vintage)
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Really good shave to start the week with. The Gillette combo is a good one for me. The vintage Seaforth works amazingly well and still has some of the original scent which, to my messed up smeller, is a rich old school/masculine scent that is just wonderful. My face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Setup of the week

Razor: Gillette Tech (England)
Blade: Treet 7 days Platinum
Brush: Mühle synthetic
Cream: Proraso Red
Aftershave: Proraso Red Balm

Hoping for some warmer weather soon, so could be the last chance to use Proraso Red for this season

My setup for next week:
Karve Overlander w/ Derby Extra
Col. Conk Almond
Semogue OC Mistura



I was unable to resist the siren call of the Karve Overlander even after a week with the Timeless Ti68. I guess it could be worse, but all bets are off if Karve ever offers a titanium version.


As for my current selection of blade and soap, they don't really elicit a feeling of anticipation but they get the job done. Thank goodness for my rotation of brushes that still provide some variety.

Be well and stay safe

An early Spring is in the air.
...a new selection for The Shave of the Week Society (SWS)
Still GRUME-ing.

Lime is my flavor of the week. It appears I should take better care of this soap lid.
I have missed the Big Bruce this year and the Jagger is always nice to use.

Please take care of yourself and each other.

 

[Tathlum]

My fixed four for the week.
Razor- PAA Meta-4
Blade- Lord Platinum
Soap- RR Irish Countryside
Brush- SF 20mm silver tip

Having done something similar a while ago, I am going to do it again for the foreseeable future. I am going with 2 set ups, one for my work days and one for my days off. My regular work day is 12 hours, so I like a longer lasting close shave on those days.

The Schick Type I Hydro-magic for my not working days and the Yaqi Romulus for the work days. For me, I could use either razor on either day since they both shave close and comfortable.

The soap and blades are shown, and the brush is my favorite boar, an SOC cherry wood, gifted to me by a generous member here. Many brushes have come and gone from the brush drawer, but not this one. Perfect right out of the box. You know who you are and am am still grateful for the gift!

I'm going to join you fine folks this weeks (and perhaps a bit longer ).

● Semogue TSN LE 3 band badger brush
● Wolfman WR2 .95
● Polsilver Super Iridium
● Mike's Natural Soap ~ Barbershop

I'll swap the soap on Tuesday (Tabac Tuesday) and might rotate brushes, but other than that this will be my setup for the upcoming week.

Perhaps I might even manage to finish the soap sample (tub), which was kindly gifted to me by @Guido75.

Enjoy your weekend shaves and have a great week!
Cheers!
