Sunday SOTD- three-pass great shave, BBS; used the first "fancy" cased vintage razor I bought- an English Gillette Raised Flat Bottom New, although all I knew was that it was a New when I bought it. Used MWF again today, as it has been the soap I've probably used the most over the years.

This has been a fun week of shaves.

Shave recap:
Razor: Gillette RFB New
Blade: Silver Star (3)
Soap/Cream: MWF
Brush: Rein Dachs Klassik
Post-shave- rinse, then Truefitt & Hill West Indian Limes ASB, face is feeling great, just a bit of sting lingering from the citrus oil in the balm

Have a great day!

SOTD - Thursday, February24

IMG_5545.JPG

Prep: Hot shower and Every Man Jack citrus body scrub
Razor: Rockwell 6S, R6 plate
Blade: Van der Hagen
Brush: AP Shave 24mm SilkSmoke knot with blue lagoon handle
Soap: Pacific Shave Stick
Aftershave: Thayers Facial Toner

Last week was my first time traveling since I started using a DE razor. The shave stick worked very well, especially when lathered with the brush. So far I've been able to get 3 face shaves and one head shave out of it with at least half the stick still to go. I brought Thayers in a sample vial that I received from Captain's Choice and picked up the VdH blades at a local Target. I followed a suggestion and mailed the blades back to myself.
