SOTD

Gillette 1925
MWF AND persona Red
The brush was a butter and bred one that came years ago with a shaving bowl and mirror.

The Soap ist to me after this 3 shaves very comfortable. Fine lather and no dry skin feeling after the shave.

Well, for me it was the third shave with a vintage razor like this. The first two times I tried it with a Gillette Platinum, what was with LaToja Soap and the MWF horrible. I ordere a few samples of different blades and gave the Personna Red a try. I can't das that it is much better. Using the Old Spice after I was a screaming like Johnny Weissmuller in Tarzan.....


Any suggestions what blade to use tomorrow?

Greetings,

Another early morning shave due to me having to do a Saturday morning to midday shift at the mill...As always needs must unfortunately.


A new shave set up to start the weekend..recently i won £20 in the work lottery, so as a treat to myself i bought a job lot assortment of new & hardly used shaving soaps & a Yaqi Naples 24mm Synthetic shaving brush from Ebay ,all for the grand total of £20, with postage.

I've broken my buying 'no more shaving related items until my birthday in june' but, i couldn't resist this bargain, it was money i won so i could justify it to myself, besides that i probably won't buy any more shaving related items for the rest of the year now...'Well. hopefully anyway'.

Anyway, back to the shave..Maiden shave trio with the RazoRock 'What The Puck' Lime Burst tripled milled soap,Yaqi Naples synthetic brush and the Gillette 7'o clock super platinum blade, which i've had for a while but it's only now have i've got round to trying them out.

The RazoRock W.T.P. 'Lime Burst' shaving soap is the first of the tripled milled soap,that i've i also have a tub of 'Orange Sunrise',which i'll be trying out next weekend.

My first impressions of the soap are, it takes a bit more time to build a lather,which for me personally isn't a big issue i found after the soap has been bloomed in hot tap water for five minutes i was rewarded with incredibly rich, creamy lather with a very good slickness and a wonderful post shave feeling to my face.

The Yaqi Naples synthetic brush worked really well with the soap,i really like the long handle,as with my Yaqi Sagrada Familia, it was a delight to use with it'a cloud-soft tips, but still has a good amount of backbone which will be excellent for both face & bowl lathering, a great brush that i look forward to using in my future SOTD set ups.

The indian made gillette 7'o clock super platinum blade i will be testing out in my Indian made razors for all my SOTD's this week.The overall verdict.?...A very comfortable 3 pass + pickups bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Wilco ~ Men's Afterhave Balm.

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

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:


Happy Birthday a few months early and congrats on the lottery win!
