Hello there fellow B&B wetshaving aficionados!

This SOTD week is a little different and I personally really enjoy digging thru the den finding appropriate shaving gear for this SOTD theme…

As many of us are doing a little fall cleaning (or Spring cleaning in the Southern Hemisphere) amd maybe getting ready for the upcoming couple of months of holiday and family events, so let’s give the shaving gear that we aren’t super fond of one last chance.

Does that mean I will force myself to re-try the stanky Arko soap, my awful Razorock synth brush, my terrible Merkur and Shaverboy blades and my face killing Parker slant razor? Maybe. Ok, yes! Yes, I will. 🤞

Before you bin, sell or trade your unwanted soaps, blades, razors, brushes and aftershaves, why not give them one last chance? Maybe you will fall in love with something you previously hated. Thank or hate me later. 🤪

So let’s see those Derby blades, Yaqi razors, drugstore Wilkinson Sword soaps and synth brushes and lovely scents like The Veg (god forbid!). 😱

Have some fun with it this week and you just might fall in love again with some hidden gems in your dens.

Being creative and having fun IS mandatory as usual. Sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory. Feel free to post any SOTD photo or just tell us about your shave.

Lets see lots of pics this week!

I am starting the week off with the same razor and blade that I ended last week: my Wolfman SS SB 1.05 and Personna Lab blade. This was the fourth and last shave with that combination. Today’s brush is the 2023 B&B Contributor’s brush by Paladin. I’m glad that I bought two of those brushes. I am a big fan of the Paladin brushes. Today’s soap is Cella. I cut out a chunk of the soap block and put it in an Old Spice mug. The soap once again made a nice, rich lather. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks.

I saw a Russian aftershave balm in your SOTD. Tell us where you bought it and share your impressions of it. It is a popular product in Russia.

Have the Lord Cool another chance. What a shave! The Ti95 showed its brilliance in a spectacular way. Almost like saying ”who needs open comb razors?!”
