Saturday shave. Had a couple EVH style brushes made after he passed away recently. This was my Elite Razor brush today. Manchurian knot. Was amazing. Bob knocked this one out of the park. Highly recommend him. Also got one from Rudy Vey. Stay tuned......

Sun 1st SOTD
Soap Stirling Executive Man
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mountain Lake
Razor Game Changer.84-P SB
Blade Kai 1st (replaced by 7 O'clock SS 5th)
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Clubman GentsGin
Excellent lather from this soap. Creamy, slick and very nice scent.
Shave with razor paired with the supposedly Kai blade (2 blade sampler so no name nor logo) was not good at all. Started pulling and tugging almost immediately wtg. Replaced with a used 7 O'clock SS and the shave went very smoothly & comfortably for 3+1 passes.
Bbs to dfs result. Excellent post & aftershave. Rating 9/10

SOTD : 1st November 2020.

​

Shaving recipe for today.



Prep: Warm shower / Cussons Imperial Leather ~ Arctic Ocean & Icelandic Moss Shower Gel.


Pre:


Cold wet flannel to my face.

Simple ~ Sensitive Bar Soap + Nuage Menthol shaving Oil.

Brush: Unbranded Chinese Horsehair.

Face Lather.

Soap: Chinese Cologne Soap.


Blade: Indian Gillette Wilkinson Sword Saloon Pack. (2)


Razor: Merkur 34c.


Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade peppermint lavender eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Duru ~ Turkish
Mandalina-mandarin Cologne.


Aloe Vera Gel.


A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

I was curious to try the Indian GWS blade in a less aggressive razor paired together with the Merkur 34c was a comfortable duo, which to be honest i wasn't sure if it would have worked but it did feeling comfortably smooth and efficient with each pass.

Another very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy you Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
