SOTD: 5th July 2018.

​

Shaving recipe for today.

Prep: Warm shower:/ Imperial Leather ~ Sea minerals & Black Mint Shower Gel.


Pre:

warm wet flannel to my face.

Pears ~ Transparent Glycerin Soap.

Brush: Yaqi 24mm ~ Sagrada Familia R1730 Synthetic.

Bowl Lather.

Cream : Nivea Men ~ Originals.

Blade: Trig ~ (Green/White pack) Stainless Silver Edge .(4)

Razor: Parker 98R.

Warm wet flannel/ cold wet flannel to rinse my face.

Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade Lemon,Lime+Peppermint Oil Witch Hazel Mixture/Nivea Men ~Anti-Irritation A/S Lotion.

Nivea Men ~ 2 Phase A/S lotion .


Greetings,

Fourth and final shave with the trig ~ (green /white pack) Stainless Silver Edge .The smooth efficiency of this blade like it's (blue/white pack) sibling is suprisingly good, Paired up with the 98R today still performed with sharp smoothness.As always the Nivea Men shaving products where a superb addition to the shave making it a pleasurable experience.

Both of the trig blades over the last two weeks have impressed me ,with their sharp longevity and smoothness throughout my sotd's. As to say which was the better blade between them, imho they are the same blade,just in different packaging for selling purposes.

A great blade that is suited to my skin type,as are the other Pakistani Treet Co.blades that i've shaved with. What i like about both the Trig blades is that both have been consistantly smooth & predictable throughout the longevity test,and that imho is a good blade, but this is just my experience, every person's review/experience on a blade,(soap,brushes,razors etc) will vary from mine ,and it's wrong for me to label some experiences/reviews as 'right & others wrong, imho 'they are all right, because each person knows his or her experiences/opinions are right,but that doesn't make the experiences/opinions of others wrong either...However saying that, we all learn from watching, reading trying & listening, to other peoples experiences/Reviews, but we all go by our own judgement first ,before following others.Enough said, i'm starting to babble.

It's quite amazing that throughout the entire month or so i've only used 4-5 DE blades. The longevity tests on most of the blades,apart from the Bluebird Platinium, has proven to me that a blade can still perform with smooth sharp effiency and,doesn't need to be binned after two shaves.

A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of nivea men~ 2 phase a/s lotion.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your day,ladies & gentlemen.

SOTD 05JUL18
Razor: Charcoal Goods lvl 2 w/ Magnum
Blade: Wizamet Super Irridium (6)
Brush: Romera 'Scammacca w/ Manchurian Finest Fan 26 mm'
Soap & Splash: Extro' O'Selvaggio​

First use with the Romera brush; I've read of fellow wet shavers having problems with Gustavo be it shipping or the quality of the brushes themselves so I ordered this brush from the 'Ready-Made' section knowing that my purchase would be somewhat more protected. I was impressed with Gustavo and how he communicated with me. He was very quick to tell me that he was monitoring his father in the hospital and he would ship my brush when he had a chance. He posted my brush around 3 days or so after my order and I received it within a week. The finish of the brush was good and the knot looked great. Today's shave was spectacular and I noticed that Romera's Manchurian Finest Fan had a density between the Elite Manchurian and Declaration's B5 so I would say perfect. The knot is already showing gel tips and it's pillow soft. I can say that this knot is one of the finest I have used to date and I plan on grabbing some more of these brushes while I can.
