SOTD - “Supporting Vendor Week - AP Shave Co.” April 18th, 2022 to April 24th, 2022

[Walleyeb]

My maiden voyage with my new A P Brush with a Synthetic Tuxedo 26mm knot. Also first time whipping up some Sharp Dressed Man Shave Soap. Brush performed well, produced a nice slick lather with a great cushion.

Which was a definite plus, as I also took my RazoRock German 37 Slant Razor paired with a Feather blade on it’s first shave. Had one little weeper, and I was screaming at the mirror NO NO NO, go back. Oh well I’ve come a long way from being the guy that that butchered his face with a Viking Chieftain and a Derby Premium blade. But overall feeling very good about the resulting BBS shave. Thayers aftershave balm was a pleasant finishing touch to a mighty fine shave.


Have a great shave! - Have a great day!

Comments	This is the 76th shave with the Ethos Lavender. Today’s brush is the Kent BK8 Bader – a brush no longer made by Kent. The brush felt nice and performed superbly. Normally, I prefer a brush with more backbone but the BK8 is an exception. I am going back to the Feather AS-D2 razor with a Feather blade that is on its third use. My usual four-pass shave resulted in a nice, smooth BBS shave. Today the aftershave was Thayers followed by Proraso ASB. I like the Proraso and fortunately have a backup supply. Have a great day and week, folks.

Greetings,

Early morning shave.

It's been a while since i last used the La Toja shave stick and forgot how good of a lather it provided leaving a good post shave feel.

The Parker razor/ Feather blade duo continued to work together wonderfully still feeling very smooth and efficient.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face is feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Yaqi Musketeer Rapier Splash
A quick brushless shave with just a brief application of the soap followed by face rubbing is enough slickness for 2passes at setting 9 & 7. Acceptable ccs result and nice aftershaves...nothing like a good shave to face the day...no matter how simple!
