DE SOTD, Saturday, May 27th 2023

Razor : TARMax by Tom White @twhite- Mfg 2021, 1 of 4 proto types, interesting design and very hard to machine top cap out of aluminum IMO. This razor amazes me for smoothness and efficentcy and handles well. I use a modified Micromatic handle for my Tarmax razor head when using it for very enjoyable handling and it is modified to tighten head on settings so not to move at all in use. Had a close comfortable shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Personna red(1) sharp & smooth with great longevity.
Soap : Razorock Lavender, nice masculine scented soap with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Sagrada Familia" 22mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, excellent splay scrubber + great lather painter. This little brush is amazing to use + face feel is top notch excellent. Handle is small so that would be the only draw back I can think of.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock King Louis lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my DE Tarmax with a Personna Red. One of the most comfortable razors I have used, top cap needs to be handled with care because of thinness!

Have some great shaves!

PLAN CHANGE!

As all my Athena shaves have been really good, I've decided to stop the Fixed Four.

@Cal beautiful piece, now try it with Jack Black Beard Lube

Considering that I'm doing a Fixed Four, I was surprised at your suggestion. All the same, I was intrigued and looked it up.

I didn't like that it was just slap on your face with no brush; but I did like that it was translucent... so I invested in one small tube. It arrived today. Its many reviews are definitely encouraging, but none of them appear to be from shaving hobbyists.

I'll definitely give it a try (I love experiments) but it won't be till I've finished my Fixed Four (sometime in June). I thought that "Beard Lube" was a crazy label for a shaving cream.

So today, I used Jack Black Beard Lube.

Hello friends,

Saturday is the day I care the most about shaving. It's usually when I test new combinations. Today's was amazing: Mike's Orange, Cedarwood & Black Pepper, with Floïd Suave and EDT Terre d'Hermès. Sublime!

I resorted to my usual Saturday razor, Green Cult 2.0 plate IV with my favorite blade, Gillette Nacet (5) and the best-spent $10 of my life: Omega 48 Pro.

Frank was with us, of course.

Rating: 10

Have a nice weekend and great shaves.
