SOTD:
Finally on holiday, so my SOTD posts will definitely increase now that i have more time on my hands. Retired the feather hi-stainless after 35 flawless uses, definitely very impressed with it. Replaced it with a super max blue diamond which is proving to be a very good blade, if it ends up having the same longevity as the gillette 7 o clock sharp edges ill have to definitely consider getting a 100 pack.

Shave 1:
Razor: Wilkinson sword tto
Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave
Blade: supermax blue diamond (1)
Soap: bundubeard coffee
Aftershave: brut by Fabergé

Shave 2:
Razor: Wilkinson sword tto
Brush: Omega 49
Blade: supermax blue diamond (2)
Soap: arko shave stick
Aftershave: Old spice white water

Shave 3:
Razor: Wilkinson sword tto
Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave
Blade: supermax blue diamond (3)
Soap: Arko shave stick
Aftershave: None.

Overall some very good shaves this week with great performance from the new blade as well as the arko. The Wilkinson sword brush is definitely better for bowl lathering but proved to be good for face lathering too, although it does lack a bit of back bone for that.

SOTD, 20 November 2019, and brief review

The last of my Stirling samples is here - and today's shave is their Sandalwood. I will dispense with the glowing review of the lathering process and the lovely lather that's produced by these fine soaps; you've heard me and others go overboard to praise the performance, and this sample fell right in line with all the other Stirling products I've used.

The scent profile of this Sandalwood is quite different than most Sandalwoods I've used - it's apparently a Hawaiian Sandalwood oil that is used in this product, and is a lot sweeter smelling than the norm. It's a very pure scent - not cologne-like, like for instance Taylor of Old Bond Street's Sandalwood (which I quite like) or the dryer, woodier and spicier D.R. Harris. In some ways it reminds me of Cyril Salter's Indian Sandalwood, which is also pleasant in its relative simplicity.
Pre-shave: Hot shower and towel, and Pacific Shaving Company Bamboo Pre-shave Scrub

Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Voskhod (#2)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lather Bowl
Soap: Stirling Sandalwood
Aftershave: Stirling Sandalwood Splash

SOTD Nov 20-2019, (1st shave with the Oneblade)This shave turned out to be a interesting one, bought one of those Oneblade core single edge razors on sale. Now that is a interesting razor and it seemed to perform well with the floating blade, results were in my sweet spot range. I did do 3 pass shave (WTG,XTG, ATG with a clean up) with results being stellar. Nice razor with the feather blades.

Razor: Oneblade Core
Blade : Feather FHS-10 (1)
Soap: Razorock "The Dead Sea"
Preshave: Brush wash the face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel.
Post shave : Fine fresh Vetiver with witch hazel
Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + minor irritation + 1 blemish weeper = Great shave

Have some great shaves!

Weds NOvember 20

No Repeat (mostly) NOvember. No repeats so far except for scuttle, blades, and alum. Up today, my E1 Redtip.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Stirling Mountain Man
Brush - ThatDarnRob
Blade - Gillette Platinum (8)
Razor - Gillette Redtip E1 (1959, Q1)
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Stirling Mountain Man A/S

Shave rating 5 of 5

A really good shave this morning but I don't know why I would have expected less. The razor is great. The blade although getting old, is still doing the job. The lather was excellent. All worked in concert to provide a 2 pass BBS shave. Very happy. The alum was a little vocal on my neck area. The A/S smells nice.

Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.
