Agua y jabón :: Czech & Speake, Cambridge & Oxford :: JiM Creative Shaving :: ATT Windsor Copper, M, Perma Sharp :: Myrsol, Plastic Shave

Special shave today, using new stuff: C&S is one of my favourite shaving soaps, but this soap needs to be worked out, I guess that I will get richer scent and sensations with continued use. The shaving brush has been decorated with Japanese lacquer work, one of my hobbies. Finally, the ATT razor is a beauty, very classy.

Cheers!!

Beautiful brush! Japanese lacquer work? Google says “Lacquer is made from the sap of the Chinese lacquer tree (aka Japanese lacquer tree) and is poisonous until it dries.” Uh, how poisonous and how long does it take to dry?

Be careful out there.

For the rest of my SOTD's this week all will be mostly featuring German made shaving products..Starting with the Merkur 34C DE razor.

Like a vast majority of people, when first venturing into the world of traditional wet shaving i was attracted to this wonderful piece of great value for money non-aggressive razor,matched together with either an aggressive or non-aggressive blade this wonderful Fräulein has always performed excellently giving me an acceptable shave,today was no exception.

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

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Sensitive Cooling Post Shave Balm.

My face is feeling invigoratingly smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.

SOTD:
Beautiful shave today, another stunning performance from the fatip piccolo, definitely without question my favourite razor, it cuts through hair like a hot knife through butter.

A stunning performance from the omega 49 and the malt n myrtle, this brush does very well with hard soaps, but id recommend face lathering for the first few shaves until the bristles soften a bit.

The Wilkinson sword blade was perfectly sharp even after its 5th use, and paired with the Fatip gave me a perfect BBS shave after two passes with a few touch ups.

The Brut by faberge is a fantastic aftershave, so glad we still find tons of it in South Africa, and its dirt cheap too!

Razor: Fatip piccolo
Blade: Wilkinson sword (5)
Brush: Omega 49
Soap: the gentlemans groom room malt n myrtle
Aftershave balm: aquaeous cream
Aftershave: brut by faberge

This vintage Prima SE razor was manufactured in France and is on generous loan from @Chef Glenn (he also provided the cool green brush). Many thanks, Glenn!

Haven’t seen many of these razors on the forum, so I am including some additional photos of the Prima. It has a hinged head that opens with a twist of the spring-loaded knob at the base of the handle. Uses proprietary blades. Nice heft, intuitive angle, mild but effective shaver.
