| Comments | This was the second shave with my Razor Rock GD -68p razor and PolSilver Super Iridium Blade. This is one smooth razor. The second shave impressed me with the razor’s performance. The shave was also close. Today’s brush was the B&B Essential Boar, 10 Anniversary Version. The brush did a nice job of loading the soap and making lather. The TFS soap was on its 28th use. The shave was perfect: BBS. Have a great day, folks. |

Hello friends!
Wonderful Saturday! I repeated the same soap from the last shave, SV 70th Anniversary, today with Pegasus Mistura, Greencult 2.0 IV and a brand new Gillette Silver Blue. I finished with the delicious Ach. Brito Atlântico and Acqua di Giò EdT.
With us, the maestro Tom Jobim.

Shave of the Day_09-02-2025
Got to be a 9.8/10 BBS
Razor - DsCosmetic Pioneer Titanium Handle with Yaqi Mellon Stainless DOC Head
Blade - Wilkinson Sword
Brush - Unbleached Boar
Bowl - Vintage Glass Ashtray
Soap - Savon de Marseille - Argan Oil
Cologne - Bronnley - English Fern
Attar - Vintage Qadeem Cambodian Oud
Well what a delightful scrape ; smooth as a can be with one of my favourite heads; the Mellon double open comb of which I have four iterations.Teamed with the top tier German Wilkinson Sword it afforded a fantastic result with no unwanted consequences.
I have no five o'clock shadow until 12-18 hours later (depending on the Season/Country) or I'm not doing it right.
A BBS to me means less than a 1/10th of one millimetre or 1/250th of an inch of stubble on my whole face and neck and more often than not I achieve it because otherwise the shave is incomplete to me.
Of course I could go lower than that - a la cartridges and disposables but I don't want a red raw face, bumps, ingrown hairs and nicks.
The Olive Oil and the Argan Oil in the soap are both very penetrating and moisturising and produce a very slick lather - the antithesis of the majority of modern soaps.
Not used the Bronnley English Fern for ages ; of course they changed the formulation but I don't mind; it's still fine.
Don't fix something that's not broke haha!
Faster production methods, cheaper labour and ingredients and higher annual shareholder dividends are usually paramount unfortunately ; The customer is never right - the bottom line is king.
So overall I'm happy as Larry.

Sunday Morning 9/2/25
"An Old axe with a new axe".
This morning was the second shave with the Blackbird SS.
No surprize it was even better than two days ago close , smooth and efficient.
This razor have a fair bit of blade feel but I have so far not felt like its going to nick me.
Will use it next shave with the same blade to see if it drops of at all.
The wool fat still does ok in the new formula I reckon.
Lathers up nice and thick but dries out quicker than the old one lack of tallow I guess. (unfortunately don't have the old one)
One pass WTG-ATG no touch ups.
Done.
Cheers.
