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.

If I need a pre-shave or post-shave thing - the soap is not doing it's job !

Comments	This was the third shave with my Razor Rock GC -68p razor and PolSilver Super Iridium Blade. This was another close and smooth shave. Today’s brush is the large Kent BK8 Silvertip Badger. Unfortunately, this brush is no longer being made. The brush did a nice job of loading the soap and creating a lather. Plus, it feels soft on my face and head. The TFS soap was on its 29th use. The shave was perfect: BBS. For you football fans, enjoy the game. Have a great day and week, folks.

I'm continuing my quest to try different samples.
Today I tried "Beloved" from House of mammoth. Was impressed by the scent and quality of the base.

As for SE blades I tried the Kai 'Original'. Performed very well in the Yaki Remus. Was better than the Feather Super blade.

• Yaki Remus with Kai SE blade
• Beloved by HoM.
• Razorock synthetic
• Nivea ASB
