SOTD - “Supporting Vendor Week - ABOVE THE TIE” April 10th, 2022 to April 16th, 2022
- Thread starter SharpieB
- Start date
- Status
I had a special day yesterday so ended up shaving twice ( 
). Granted, none of my products are from Above the Tie, but you can see my vendor support. Everything is laid out on a Lancaster Razor Works towel.
SOTD
Brush: APShaveCo 30mm Cashmere
Razor: Mongoose/Feather Loaded (13)
Soap: Queen Charlotte Soaps Wim's No.3 SE( made from a suggestion by B&B member Wimbouman.)
AS: Saint Charles Shave Rosa Damascena/Lemon
SOTN
Brush: Chubby 2 Synth
Razors: Parker Adjustable(5+)/Gillette Swede (18) from OBIC in February
: Muhle R41 (for buffing)/Personna 74 (?)
Soap: Same as Above
AS: Saint Charles Shave Savory Rose Shave Milk
After 2 passes that night, I had a DFS but wanted a little more and happened to glance at the R41 and a light bulb went off in my medulla. Using the R41 for just buffing alone helped take my DFS to BBS perfection. I never thought to do this previously, but now I will have to try it n the next few shaves just to see what happens.

Sunday Seaforth! SOTD- two passes for a DFS result, 9/10, no mishaps; another satisfying shave:
Razor: Beat-up Tech; it could use a replate
Blade: Perma-Sharp (3)- a little less sharp today, but still fine
Soap: Seaforth! Heather- very pleasant shave experience
Brush: Simpson Commodore X2 best badger
Post: cold rinse, then some Seaforth! Heather AS splash; a nice finish, albeit a bit sticky from the aloe in the splash
Happy Easter to you all!

I'm celebrating my all time favorite SB razor with its magical+ new big bore tailpipe GT Handle [made by my good friend Doug (@Rosseforp)]. As we all know, different handles make huge differences to razors. So here I am celebrating the best of the best (for this LHF).
1947 Flat Bottom Tech on the latest 15 gram GT Handle... departing for the shave:
And arriving back after its post-shave clean:
In case you thought we'd missed out the middle bit (i.e. the shave); here it is below.

Brush: Shavemac 20/46 Silvertip 2-Band
Soap: Phoenix Atomic Age Bay Rum
Razor: 1947 Gillette Flat Bottom Tech GT
Blade: King C. Gillette (14)
ASL: Clubman VIBR
An excellent shave.
I've been narrowing down what seems to be the best gear for me (for a long time) and I do believe that I've arrived.
Happy shaves guys.

Razor: RazoRock German 37 Slant
Blade: Dorco Prime Platinum (1)
Brush: Van Der Hagen Pure Badger Brush
Pre-Shave: Proraso White Pre Shave
Soap: Haslinger Sheep Milk Shaving Soap
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue, Duke Cannon A/S Balm
Growth: 47 hours
Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG
Rating: 10/10
Results: 2nd shave with my first slant razor, the RR German 37 Slant with HD handle. Very exciting! I shaved the same way I always shave with a light touch & didn't over shave. It was a very smooth & close BBS result on 3 passes, mowing down 2 days of growth. Dorco Prime Platinum is currently #1 on my Top 5 DE blades. No cuts, nicks, tugging or irritation. Great Shave! Note: I forgot to photo the Haslinger Sheep Milk shaving soap.

Monday MdC SOTD- two quick passes- in a rush to get ready and leave; CCS+ result, 8+/10, no mishaps, a good shave. For the next couple of days I'm staying at my daughter's house to watch my grandson:
Razor: RR Lupo AL- I'm taking this razor with me, so this one must be pretty good
Blade: Perma-Sharp (4)- blade is fading and the shave wasn't quite as close, so binned
Soap: MdC Nature- always great
Brush: Zenith P2 boar- for some reason I'm really enjoying this budget boar
Post: cold rinse, then some Humphrey's WH, I'll do some sunscreen before taking off
Have a great week!

Este BOOTS en stick tiene un ligero aroma a colonia que no sabría describir, si le noto un toque de almizcle pero es agradable que se difumina algo al hacer la espuma, la que se hace con mucha facilidad con la brocha de caballo que estoy probando. Es genial esta brocha me hartado de hacer espuma, tuve mis dudas con ella ya que hace unos años probé una Vielong de caballo que me dio muchos problemas de enredos, esta para nada y encima super barata. Le he dado un buen trote en el suribachi y para nada se ha enredado.
