Brush: Semogue Torga-C3 Finest Mistura 22/49
Soap: TFS Mandarino Tachibana
Razor: Timeless SSSlim OC (on custom Olive Wood handle)
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
ASL: TFS Mandarino Tachibana

A really nice shave.

I think Timeless SSSlim OC training proper has started today. I threw out my "which angle is best" concentration and just went with the flow. My benchmark blade (Personna Red [first use with the Timeless]) felt lovely too.

I've loved the Semogue Mistura's performance since first use. Today it was "out of this world" good (20th use). Thank you Jim @Chan Eil Whiskers for pointing me in its direction.


Happy Shaves guys.

Razor - Rockwell 6S, R5
Blade - Gillette Nacet
Brush - Grizzly Bay "Blood Storm" 26mm v5 Fanchurian
Soap - Barrister & Mann Reserve Spice
A/S - PAA Oud Spice

It has probably been about a year since I last used my Rockwell, and I'd forgotten how good it is. The past couple shaves have been incredibly smooth, and very efficient. Really leaving me super clean. The soap scent followed by the splash was just tops; the splash brings that little bit of oud smoky muskiness that was really a winner. Enjoyable from start to finish.

Prep: Warm water
Cream: Pure by Gillette
Razor: King C Gillette
Blade: King C Gillette
Post Shave: Tea tree witch hazel
Balm: Prorasso Green Tea and Oat
EDT: Sauvage by Dior

First time using the new KCG razor and blades. Overall a very pleasant mild shave needing 3 passes and some touch ups. The cream was applied with fingers and has tremendous slickness. If you were a beginner and you had this type of shave, I think you'd be happy. Completely irritation free. I reckon this is a merkur head and likely astra blades.

Top-quality performance from this soap. Thickly creamy and super slick. The scent is unique for sure. Pleasant for me...
Shave with razor paired with the blade was excellent! Crisply smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly glass-like finish. Atg-pass on chin and lips area was so smooth with this outstanding blade!
Rating 10/10!!

It's been a while since my much loved vintage Gillette slim twist has made an appearance in one of my SOTD set up's this vintage razor gives an amazingly comfortably smooth shave each time i shave with it. I repeat myself by stating each time that i shave with this vintage lady it still amazes me that a 50 year + de razor can still perform with such smoothness.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
