Greetings,

A relaxing Williams Uber/Superlather sunday morning shave.

Another Maiden shave with the Euromax P.C. blades which got thrown in with a Yaqi synthetic brush & a shaving soap job lot i purchased from ebay. The blades are made in indian for Eurostar general trading group,which is based in Dubai and are made from japanese steel apparently...Recently i've been having some fantastic shaves with my humble parker razors, so for the rest of the week i'll be shaving with my indian princesses..starting off with the 87R which matched up very nicely with the Euromax p.c. blade making another wonderfully smooth non-aggressive but efficient duo.


The derby lavender & Essential Lavender Oil added a superb soothing calming effect with the williams soap making the shave a pleasurable experience.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of The Real Shave Co. ~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.


My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.;)


Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

SOTD:
Todays shave was another speed shave using the reitzer perfect shave, definitely a soap which will always be in my rotation, one of the best lathering soaps i have ever used. I could definitely see this stuff being a huge success overseas, especially considering its low price point which cant be beaten.

Had one nick today, lesson learnt, when speed shaving always feel around you face for any bumps or blemishes. I didnt apply any pressure but i shaved over a blemish and nicked myself although its all healed up 12 hours later since it was a night shave again.

The feather performed well on shave number 32, its now being moved to the aristocrat while i test out personnas in the super speed, ill still use the feather once a week until the end of its life though.

Razor: gillette super speed flair tip (UK)
Blade: feather hi-stainless (32)
Brush: dischem synthetic
Soap: Reitzer's perfect shave
Aftershave Balm: Dave's home made balm

My SOTD on Sunday, 05th May 2019

Pre-shave prep: shower

DE-razor: Merkur 38C (closed comb)

Blade: Gillette 7 o’clock BLACK

Brush: YAQI 26mm Timberwolf (synthetic) with blue barber-handle

Shaving soap: Stirling NAG CHAMPA

Lathering: bowl lather

Finish-off: WWR, CWR, cold water compress with shaving towel, Humphreys Witch-Hazel Cucumber & Melon

Aftershave balm: Musgo Real Classic Milk


I love this strong scent of “Nag Champa”.

I don’t like the scent of the “Cucumber & Melon” witch-hazel. Fortunately, it is a 2-ounce sample only. I shall stay with the “Original”.
 
Had an allergic reaction to soap and couldn't shave for 4 days. FOUR! Over now, good god I was getting depressed.

Razor: 1966 EverSharp Krona...this thing rocks hard. Not even mildly aggressive, I think you COULD cut yourself with it, but you'd have to work at it. 2 passes, BBS. Just awesome. Thanks again @Fatboy

Blade: Derby Platinum, first on this blade. Worked great.

Soap: MLS Kraken...wanted something mild scented for this first one back.

AS: MLS Kraken again....I really like this stuff, it dries to a great mellow scent.

Balm: MM Ouroboros...damn good stuff.
