Semogue Saturdays!


Hello friends

It's a cloudy Saturday here. Perfect for SV Manna di Sicilia and Semogue Pegasus Mistura to start the weekend off right. And to go all out, Rex Ambassador (@5/4/3) and GSB (2), a great duo. I finished with the splendid Floïd The Genuine.

With us, Dinah Shore and André Previn on an album that is a rare gem.

Rating: 10


Have a nice weekend and great shaves!

Preshave: PAA the Mentholated Cube water from the Flairisol mister and face lathered with the RV Shaving 25 mm STF in Strawberry Amber
Brush: Shavemac 24 /54 mm two band silvertip DO1 in Copper Canyon
Face lathered with use of Flairisol mister also
Soap: Czech and Speake Oxford and Cambridge by Valobra
Razor: No 15 British OC Aristocrat First Gen
Blade: Willy's (1)
Post: PAA Alum, Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner
Splash and frag: Czech and Speake Oxford and Cambridge

A few red spots takes an other wise perfect 2 pass shave down to 9.5 DFS++ over all. Smooth on the face a little stubbly ATG on my neck.

I tried something different today after smearing the Mentholated cube rather unsuccessfully I grabbed my 25 MM STF and loaded direct from the cube and face lathered with that before each pass. Not that Valobra soap needs help, I just wasn't as thorough on my prep not showering before hand. I am unsure if I will do this again, but, I might follow in @Phoenixkh example and melt it down into some container to easily lather from. At least when not showering.

The Willy's blade is a keeper, and, a good match in my Aristocrat. This is my only one left after donating my No 66 to the St Sue auction a few years ago. Of the two I much prefer the No 15.

SOTD Sunday 25 August

• Razor Gillette Slim Adjustable (5) J4
• Blade Feather Hi-Stainless
• Pre-Shave Tricare Goats Milk
• Brush Vulfix Pure Badger
• Cream Proraso Yellow – Wood & Spice
• Post Shave Thayers Witch Hazel - Unscented
• Aftershave Brut Splash
• Balm Nivea – Sensitive Pro - Post Shave Balm

The Morning Shave.
The Feather Hi-Stainless blade was in my 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable today.

After missing my shave yesterday, it was another opportunity to use the Feather Hi-Stainless.
I thought I would be a little indulgent today, with the Vulfix Pure Badger and the Proraso Wood & Spice.
Absolutely love the Wood & Spice scent. Quite strong but a great scent.

Not sure if this has been completely discontinued now or if some stock is still available. I use no more than 1gram of shave cream so these last me a few years.

The Feather performs amazing with a couple of days growth, so smooth and comfortable.

Can anyone identify the watch?

Greetings,

Relaxing Sunday Morning Shave.

The Wilkinson Sword TTO is completely different to the Wilkinson Sword Classic plastic two piece. Aggression wise I personally find it very similar as my Chinese Gillette super speed clones. My only gripe with it is the longer than needed handle, apart from that it's a good shaver.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
