SOTD "FREE WEEK" April 12th - April 18th, 2021

TUESDAY
PRE: bloom water
RAZOR: RazoRock Silver Hawk V2
BLADE: Schick Proline
BRUSH: WCS 26mm Synthetic BOSS Knot
SOAP: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
POST: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver AS

IMHO the $30 aluninum Hawk is one of the best bargains in the shaving world. It outshaves many of my stainless DEs costing more than five times as much. I also have two stainless steel Hawks, standard and OC. And yes, they are slightly more efficient than the aluminum version, at more than twice the price.

Brush: Omega 599 Super Badger 22/48
Soap: Rasozero Agrumella
Razor: Yuma YM-403
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (9)
ASL: Rasozero Agrumella (with added menthol)

An excellent shave in every way.

What a superb team (even the soft brush!).

I've tried a few TFS soaps now. Today, back where I started with their (budget) Rasozero Agrumella... it's fighting hard with Mandarino Tachibana for top place favorite.

Being the Kroap Kid, my very nice LEA Mentholated Shaving Cream got squeezed into a jar and is now drying out in a cupboard with the lid off. I'm looking forward to trying it out when the transformation is complete. (My new softy Omega 599 preferred gently loading croap today, rather than having a dollop of cream dumped on its head.)


Happy shaves guys.

Post:
Cold water face wash with brush squeezings, Cold Water Face Rinse. /Homemade (~Spring/Summer mix~) Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Essential Oils.+3 Menthol Crystals Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./Aloe Vera Gel./4711 ~ Eau De Cologne/ASL.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

An incredibly good shave from the Baili super-speed clone, pairing up wonderfully with the Gillette 7'0clock Super Platinum.... Every shave that i have had with it has been consistently good...The 7'0clock Super Platinum i find works really well with non-aggressive razors these blades are really sharp, almost 'Feather' but with a smooth edge. I personally find Feather blades to be over sharp which makes them feel rough...I prefer smoothness in a blade rather than sharpness, the 7'0clock Super Platinum has a good balance of both.

A Enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of 4711 ~ Eau De Cologne/ASL...The 4711 has a wonderful scent my only wish is it wasn't so short lived...You can't have everything though.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
