Some new kit in today’s shave!
Razor: GameChanger .68 (new)
Blade: PIR
Brush: Semogue 830 (new)
Soap & A/S: Captain’s Choice Nor’easter
What a fantastic razor! Smooth first shave and very enjoyable! The bulldog handle has some incredible knurling, I definitely would like to get some more RR knurled handles! The brush had one lather on it prior to this shave so it is still getting broken in. Looking forward to the process and seeing where it ends up! Have a great day y’all!

Sunday shave

Prep: PAA Cube 2.0
Soap: Saponoficio Bignoli Blackberry Musk
Brush: Certifyd #2 Boar
Razor: Schick Type L1, shave #9
Blade: Schick (China), #9
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid-> Ogallala Bay Rum aftershave

An easy, comfortable two-pass DFS to close out this week's SOTD. First use of the Bignoli and got a great lather, plenty slick and protective. Scent was great off the puck, but faded rapidly upon lathering, which is a shame because it's a really nice scent.

A Late Evening Shave just before bedtime

Preshave Preparation: Hot Shower
Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
Bowl/Scuttle: Savanna Shave Scuttle
Soap/Cream: MWF
Razor: Rockwell 6S plate #4
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless shave 26
Postshave Treatment: Cold water rinse followed by Bosomo Alum Block. One minute later I washed my face with the leftover MWF, followed by a cold water rinse to wash off the soap and alum. After the alum is washed off, wet my head and neck and then apply Hyaluronic Acid followed by First Aid Moisturizer.
Results: Surprisingly close shave considering I had not shaved in three days and I only did two passes. The Feather blade has stayed consistent since about the 4th shave. It doesn’t show any sign of degrading since then.
 

SOTD : 22nd December 2020.

Greetings,

After the wonderful shave using the Chinese cologne soap in my previous shave i went for the Blue's goat milk soap another Chinese made soap that i used a lot when i first started out, however, i can't remember the last time that i added it to my soap rotation and totally forgot how well it lathers and it's wonderful post shave feel.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable/near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a few liberal squirts of Geoffrey Beene EDT to the pulse points.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.😎

Nice set! Did you cast the blanks yourself?

The razor kit looks similar to the ones in my profile picture. I shave with one of these clones quite often.
