Sat 18 SR 100th SOTD (Major issues posting or reading due to limited Internet onsite so will not be posting much) Let me take the opportunity to wish all members a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Soap Yaqi Lemon Lime Cedarwood
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mojito 2 Band Badger
Razor Feather Clone Kamisori
Blade Feather ProGuard 5th Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Yaqi Lemon Lime Cedarwood Splash.
Quite a nice soap afterall. Light pleasant scent but a real cooling, thickly creamy & slick lather...
Technically my 100th SR shave but this may not count since it's so very enjoyable easy shave with the razor/blade pairing. Silky smooth, effortless efficiency in 3passes without issues for a bbs finish. Aftershaves were awesomely cold...

Enjoy your input here @Chard52142, I'm also having issues here also in Canada. I have to just have to touch my wireless icon and just touch the screen seems to reconnect. Every one is on the internet now a days and it's getting bogged down no doubt.
The closer to the source the better not doubt. Have a great Christmas and all the best in the New year.
 
No photo today: my main computer needs a repair. So, here is what the shave was today.

SOTD #297/2021
20-12-2021

>> DecemBOAR, day 19 <<

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Premium Boar
Soap: Maggards ~ Mango Sage Tea
Razor: Razorock German 37 Slant
Blade: Polsilver Stainless (8)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Nivea Sensitive asb.

It's been a rather uneventful shave. Regularly, I get the best results with the SOC boar if I overload the knot. That's what I did today - and so the brush whipped up a large amount of cushiony lather like nobody's business.

2 passes with some additional buffing on the neck made my entire face almost feel BBS. Unfortunately, I cought some minor redness on my neck. I'm not sure if I had applied too much pressure - or if the sharpness of the blade just has faded and caused the irritation. But overall , it's been a relaxing Sunday shave, though.

Have a great Sunday, y'all!

Hey, thanks!

Sun 19 SOTD (Managed to snag some good connection today - albeit still very slow)
Cream Omega Eucalyptus
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Gillette Red Tip A3
Blade SilverStar Super Stainless 2nd
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Yaqi PinaColada Chillers Splash
Really a beautiful scent from this cream! It is my first ever shave cream/soap...
The lather qualities are just superb...so thickly creamy and so very slick...
An excellent shave with the razor paired with the blade + a shim. Smooth and efficient in 3passes for a mostly bbs finish. Aftershaves were terrific.

That’s my birth year razor
 
@Chard52142 - try and keep your lather swirls coming, and have a wonderful holiday and a great time!

SUNDAY 12/19 SOTD, a fine DFS on a two-day beard with easy two-passes, a bit of cleanup resulted in great shave:

Pre-shave: just a shower
Razor: Maxwell June Twinned DE
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Green, Russian (3)-
Soap: A&E Chasing the Dragon
Brush: a newish Omega Boar
Post-shave: cool rinse, and then some Chasing the Dragon AS, lots of aloe in this splash, but not sticky

Have a great week!
