Hello B&Bers!

This week’s SOTD Theme is “Sticks and Samples!”

Lets see your shave sticks, soap samples, aftershave and EDT samples! Even those aftershave sticks!! This one should be easy to participate. Everyone loves Arko, right!?!?! If not, grab some La Toja, LEA, Speick, or anything else in stick or sample form!!!! This one is great for anyone traveling. Lets do it!

No sticks or samples? As always, the weekly themes are just a suggestion, but being creative and having fun IS mandatory. We encourage you to post or shoot photos of your Shave Gear of the Day regardless of the theme as sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged. Highly encouraged!

Let’s see your Sticks and Samples SOTD!

Brush: Simpson Colonel
Soap: Black Watch
Razor: Gillette New LC
Blade: Wizamet (Z-5)
Post: Black Watch AS

Excellent shave this morning, had to skip yesterday's so an abundance to take down today. The LC taking it all down in short order with the Wizamet that still seems to be holding up, though I think this may be about the limit.

Hope everyone had a grand weekend and has a cracking day.

Cheers

Sunday was the first day this year that I haven't shaved. And, frankly, I can't recall the last time I didn't shave. Six months ago? I'm not sure. Regardless, the following combo made quite short - and smooth - work of it all.

Brush: Proraso Professional Boar
Soap: RazoRock P-160
Razor: NDC SuperSpeed
Blade: Gillette Platinum
A/S Splash: Old Spice (current iteration)

Make it a great week!

Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Weber ARC
Blade: Wizamet Iridium Super
Brush: Rooney Heritage 2XL Jade
Soap: Bartigan & Stark: Campione
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..
Fragrance: Atman Xaman Eau de Parfum by Lorenzo Villoresi.

WOW.. I honestly wasn't expecting that. An absolutely stunning shave with another 'new to me' artisan soap. I understand these are produced in small batches, so if you get the opportunity to try one, I suggest you take it... and the Weber surprised me, yet again, by bringing out the best in the Wizzie.. yeah, an absolutely stunning shave.

GRUME March
MdC Monday

Hello friends,

The week starts cloudy around here. To liven things up a bit, I decided to shave my 2-day beard. I chose MdC Original which combined divinely with Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla's aromatic accords. Rockwell 6C (R5), Gillette Nacet (5) and SOC Finest Badger were stupendous as always. A DFS…

To accompany this solemn moment, none other than old Miles in the greatest of all: Kind of Blue.

Have a nice week and great shaves!
❤️ 🪒

This is the 4th shave in a row with the 37C and Wizamet blade. Another smooth and close shave. Starting the week off right. The Yaqi brush is one big baby and loads effortlessly. As usual, I seem to make more lather than I could use! After 44 shaves the soap is starting to show some use. Have a great day and week.

Razor : Gem MicroMatic OC, Mfg 1930-41, mid to upper mid range depending on blade # of uses + personal technique, well built and excellent design for securing the blade and will last many more generations IMO with some care. Excellent shave today!
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(9) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore, nice vanilla & light tobacco scent added + excellent lather qualities.
Brush :Yaqi "Panda" 24mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. I got this on sale 2 years ago and like to use it once in a while because of the detail.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock Santa Mari del Fiore with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
