SOTD-Timeless-SSSlim-G_2021-02-01.jpg


Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget
Soap: Rasozero Barbacco
Razor: Timeless SSSlim OC on custom olive wood handle
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
ASL: Clubman

A super shave. :biggrin:

The Personna Red (as most folk called it five years back) instantly became my benchmark blade from first use in December 2015. My blades and I have been round the block a few times since then. Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to go back to the old tried and true for this 2021 OBIF.


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:
 
Monday shave

01C48D5E-AAF2-40E6-96B0-1FFCBAC2C22C.jpeg


Prep: Neutrogena Razor Defense face scrub
Soap: Tallow + Steel Indian Bay
Brush: SOC Mistura mixed badger/boar
Razor: iKon X3 slant on bulldog handle, #7
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium, #2
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid-> T + S Indian Bay aftershave

A very nicely scented shave tonight. Overwatered the first pass which caused a small weeper on my neck when the razor skipped, but no worries. Corrected the lather for the second pass and all was well. Overall a CCS+/DFS- depending on the area. The soap has a marvelous scent and I'm enjoying the smell still.

Really nice soap but too aerated today due to an overly wet brush. Still, nice scent and slick enough.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very good. So smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues even atg at difficult areas for a mostly bbs to dfs result. Excellent aftershave. Rating 9.7/10
