Brush: Ever Ready C40
Soap: TOBS Rose Saving Cream
Aftershave: Alum/Thayer's Super Hazel/Aqua Velva Musk

$SOD 18.03.13.jpg

I dont think the sharks are too good in the Aristocrat, it left me with a little burn on the R/H side of the neck. An Astra has been popped back in for tomorrow.
 
Gentlemen, here is today's shave bill:

Razor: Fritz Bracht Tennis 5/8 round point
Strop: Neil Miller shell cordovan
Brush: Rooney super silver tip
Soap: D.R. Harris Arlington
Pre-shave: Castle Forbes
Scuttle: Moss
Face lather
Alum
Witch hazel
Balm: Some artisan stuff
Aftershave: English Leather
 
Tradere SB with Astra SP
Edwin Jagger Best with Roger et Gallet L'Homme shaving soap lathered directly on the face.
Nivea Sensitive ASB

It seems I still have a learning curve with the Tradere SB as applying the same angle as with my old trusted Merkur 23C gave me inferior results. The Merkur 23C was easier to shave with although I assume I just need to get used to the Tradere.
 
Hot wash with Nivea Pre Shave Wash
Hot washcloth for 20 seconds or so
Parker Pure Badger Brush
Lime Ginger Black Pepper Soap (w/ tallow) from Etsy seller "sweetsnthings"
Lord Razor with 7 O'clock yellow blade
Witch Hazel splash and fanned dry
Nivea Energy ASB
1 spritz of Kenneth Cole Black cologne

Seems to me the 7 oclock yellow dulls faster than a Personna or Wilkinson Sword. It was a sample and the only one I have thankfully. No irritation, just seemed like more work than with my other preferences. The Lord has been my go-to pick since I picked it up off the Vendor Forum for 10 bucks shipped - what a deal!!! Hope you all have a great day!!!
