SPAIN/FRANCE, SOTD "themed week" 16th July - 22nd July 2012

[Dr Dulcamara]

Good morning friends.
As the book of Anne Geddes remains on the table, I thought about looking a picture to match my UFO Godzilla, chubby and soft, and I found that this fits well. The Calani Iberian Sun is great and the Coimbra Water, delicious.
Forza Alonso, Forza Ferrari!!!

SUNDAY EVENING


7 o'clock head with UFO Red Kong handle
Bolzano Superinox (2)
Simpsons Hive Manchurian badger
Klar Kabinett
Witch hazel
Castle Forbes AS balm


Almost all good tonight. The KK lathered like a rabid bulldog, and my 7 o'clock 'Aristocrat' (courtesy of the beautiful UFO handle) delivered it's customary superb shave.


The only black mark is this crap balm. I won't be buying this again, that's a cert!

[Rufust445]

Late Sunday evening:

Synthetic 23mm knot from TGN in my father's Surrey handle.
Vintage Williams (Cranford, NJ)
Schick Krona w. 7 o'clock yellow, 4th shave (first pass).
Super Adjustable, O-2, set at 3 w. Treet Durasharp carbon, 3rd shave (subsequent passes)
Target witch hazel
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 formula.

I ususaly toss the Treet Durasharps after two, because they don't quite make it through three shaves. With the help of a first pass with a 7 o'clock yellow, however, it yielded two fine finishing passes in the third shave. The 7 o'clock yellows give fine results, but I would call them anything but smooth, from first shave to last. Nowhere near as smooth as the Treet Durasharp carbon.

 

[Sir_Eider]

Sunday shave:

Pre Prep + Razorock XXX + Simpson Duke3 + Merkur Slant with Iridium Super #1 + Sergio Tacchini splash with 444


This Razorock works really well, very slick and with good scent. And what to say about Iridium Super, hehe. A superb shave!


Cheers!
