Astra SP x2
Simpson's Chubby 2 Super Badger
PannaCrema Nuavia Blu
Captain's Choice ceramic bowl​

Fantastic shave! BBS all the way around. The PannaCrema just excels in all categories for me. Ranking my top 5 soaps have changed. Hard to believe over half are Veg! So, my updated top 5 bases are... YMMV.....

1) PannaCrema
2) Adriana & Evans
3) SV Beta 4.3
4) MdC
5) Pereira Shavery

Going to be selling and PIFing soaps soon. Gonna cut down to 5 bases. PannaCrema expensive? Not really . Last order from Top of the Chain for $60 US (79.99 CAD). Shipping free. 200gm plus the ceramic bowl. Wish they would sell refills. Only takes a little soap so it lasts a long time. I'm not a Fanboy of anything, just recommending what works for me at a reasonable cost per shave.

SOTD: 23rd JUNE 2019.

​

Shaving recipe for today.


Prep: Warm shower:/ L'OREAL ~ Birch Sap Shower Gel.


Pre:

Cold wet flannel to my face.

Pears ~ Lemon Flower Extracts Transparent Soap.

Brush: Wilkinson Sword Boar.

Bowl: Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.

Bowl Lather.

Uber/Superlather: Williams Mug Shaving Soap / Supermax 'Classic' Shave Cream.

Blade: Trig ~ Silver Edge. (2) (Blue cover)

Frankenrazor: Yingjili Tech head / Schmidt R10 Handle.


Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade menthol crystals +Eucalyptus peppermint,+ Tea Tree Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./ Duru ~ Turkish Lemon Cologne Spray.

Boots ~ Moisturising Cream.

Greetings,

Another wonderfully relaxing Williams Superlather sunday shave.

The Chinese Yingjili " 7'0clock Stirling tech copy "is another razor that was passed on to me, which i've only used a few times for face shaving, i normally use it for shaving the back of my neck when i do my monthly head shave, which is excellent because of the long handle...Today i experimented and paired the "chinese gillette tech copy'' head up with my schmidt R10 handle which made a wonderful frankentech the extra weight of the handle gave a wonderful additional heft, making a non-aggressive but efficient duo.

When i first entered the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving i was under the impression the term 'non-aggressive' meant that the razor "didn't shave very well," how stupidly naive i was, what i found out 'non-aggressive 'means that a razor or blade are more forgiving in-between each shaving pass but doesn't cause as much irritation or risks of getting cuts & nicks, as an aggressive razor or blade would take less passes ,but could cause irritation to the skin and cuts...However, I've found once my technique and shaving confidence had developed,and treating the razor with the upmost respect i now know how to approach each DE or SE razor i've shaved with,and get satisfactory shaving results adding to that, i learn something every i shave.

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

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Boots ~ Moisturising Lotion.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.
