Good qualities from the soap. Creamy and slick with quite a mild scent...
Shave with this razor after putting it through the 3 pasted strops was noticeably sharper but smoother? Perhaps...but 3passes for another sas result and a couple of weepers plus some red irritated neck... 😬😬

SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 21, 2021

This morning I was in a peppermint mood, so I grabbed the TOOBS Peppermint Shave Cream and had at it. My Frederick Reynolds Rattler grind was lonely, so I paired it with my 1920 Gillette Big Fellow hoping for a cool and refreshing shave. Unfortunately, that was not to be the case. The MrEE Monster Tuxedo Synth generated a decent lather, but I must say that the post shave feel was very disappointing. MWF really spoils one for other soaps and definitely for this cream. Three mug passes with Freddy and two dome passes with the Big Fellow left me very smooth, but I will say the post shave feel from this cream was drying and thus very disappointing. This cream will be going to my grandson.

RAZOR: Frederick Reynolds Rattler Grind 5/8 (Mug), Gillette Big Fellow (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Aluminum Monster Tuxedo Synth
CREAM: TOOBS Peppermint
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with PAA Frostbyte AS Splash and Cremo Cooling Post Shave Balm.

It is Wednesday so out comes the Wolfman. The blade is a Personna Lab for a second shave. The lather from this soap is always good. The result: a nice, BBS shave. Have a great day, gents.

Dare I blaspheme and say I'm happy
Sharko Week is over? Well, let's just
say it's nice to move onto other things.


Today was my first time with an Astra blue.
Been a green fan for a long time, and was
delighted by this morning's shave.

Stay healthy, everyone!

Razor: Razorock Game changer .84- Mfg 2018, tame mid range, I enjoy this razor with a Kai SS extra wide blade(9/1000 inch wider)
Blade: Kai SS extra wide(9), sharp and smooth, excellent longevity for sure. 9/1000 or 4.5/1000 inch per side. Nice to have a tuck or 2 for your milder razors.
Soap: Razorock Don Marco, nice citrus scents with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Atlantis, Great lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrubber+ great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: witch hazel + Nivea refreshing AS + Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + not weepers = :a17:excellent shave with my RR GC.84 + a Kai SS blade.
