Razor: Schöne - Grande Handle
Blade: Feather (3)
Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3

I think the Fatip 11 tooth open comb is slightly smoother ATG than the Schöne 9 tooth open comb, but both excellent shavers, and I love both.

Have a wonderful day, and stay safe my friends.

SOTD THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2020

The shave today I was excellent. The soap was ok, but it just didn’t provide the quality post shave feel I look for. MWF and Nancy Boy Signature have spoiled me. The Lord straight razor with it’s smooth buttery jasper stone edge was a delight to shave with. Two passes (WTG, ATG) on the mug and two of the same on the dome with my Valet Auto Strop VC3 was all she wrote. I feel smooth, clean and velveteen!

RAZOR: Lord 5/8 (Mug), Valet Auto Strop Model VC3 (Dome)
BLADE: Feather FAS-10
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Monster Aluminum Tuxedo Synthetic
SOAP: Wholly Kaw King of Oud
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub.

Thursday night shave

Pre: Noxzema face wash
Soap: Noble Otter Hamami
Brush: EJ Best Badger
Razor: Gillette N2 1968 Slim, setting 1
Blade: Astra SP (#1)
Post: Alum followed by hyaluronic acid followed by NO Hamami aftershave

Really nice shave tonight. Closer than last night since I had more time and a fresh blade. I do think I probably used too much pressure (feeling it on my neck a little bit) and probably could have paid more attention to the angles, but no worries. Had a little trouble with the lather, but was able to correct midstream. The scent of Hamami is awesome.

This morning’s shave was awesome. A two pass BBS shave, and I have no idea why!

Prep: Hot shower
Preshave: Proraso White
Shave Cream: TOBS Jermyn Street
Shave Brush: Edwin Jagger Super Badger
Razor: Rockwell 6S
Blade: Feather 11th shave
Postshave: Alum Block
Aftershave: Nivea Aftershave Balm

The shave was smooth and error free. No nicks, cuts or weepers. When I ran the alum block over my face there was no stinging. I don’t get it. I didn’t do anything different and got greater results that I’ve ever had.

Soap Ariana & Evans Kaizen
Brush Yaqi 24mm Ruby Tuxedo
Razor Yaqi DOC
Blade Gillette Super Nacet #3
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Old Spice Original
Good lather from the soap. Strong scent and nice slickness.
Shave with razor paired with blade was good...very smooth, comfortable and efficient for 3passes. Skip the usual neck pickup/half-pass to avoid ruining a good shave. Mostly a smooth bbs to dfs result. Super post & aftershave. Rating 9.7/10
