One shave of the day for the rest of your life

[Jgreenepa]

Excellent face and dome shave today with what is quickly becoming my favorite razor, my Colonial Silversmith. The razor is so nicely weighted and balanced in the hand. The only disconcerting part of the experience is the lack of auditory feedback. But boy does it deliver the goods! BBS on both face and noggin!

RAZOR: Colonial Silversmith
BLADE: Suneko SS
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a face and dome scrub w/ PAA’s Charcoal-Menthol Cube Preshave Soap
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
CREAM: Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash w/ TOOBS brush residue followed by Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel and finished w/ Fine Snake Bite AS Splash

SOTD and Review, 19 November 2019

Day 7 of 8 of my Stirling Soap sample tour brings me to Coniferous, a nice, lightly scented blend of various conifers. The most prominent notes to my untrained nose are Scots pine and fir - it's not as pronounced or bold a scent as I expected, but pleasant, nonetheless. And, as I keep saying, the performance of Stirling soaps is consistent no matter the particular scent. My shave today brought me back to my trusty Voskhod blades after a foray into some other less-than-stellar performers. Good to have Voskhod back in my Merkur 34C. So much better!

Pre-shave: hot shower, hot towel, and Pacific Shaving Company Bamboo Pre-shave scrub
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Voskhod (#1)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lather Bowl
Soap: Stirling Coniferous
Aftershave: Stirling Coniferous Splash

Tuesday NOvember 19

No Repeat (mostly) NOvember. No repeats so far except for scuttle, blades, and alum. When I first heard of the "new" Gillette 3 piece DE razor, I wasn't interested. I thought on it some and said why not so I bought 2 - one for me and one for my son.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Tabac
Brush - Simpson Duke 3
Blade - Gillette Platinum (7)
Razor - New Gillette DE
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Em's Place Minty Menthol A/S

Shave rating 4.5 of 5

The razor is ok, I have plenty of better razors to choose from. A little more blade feel than I thought there would be. Got a 2 pass DFS shave. First time using Tabac and, wow, is this a good soap. Lathered up really quick. A/S has no scent. The alum was quiet.

Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.
