- Brush: Spiffo Silvertip badger
- Razor: 1956 Red Tip
- Blade: Polish Polsilver “Unobtainium“ (2)
- Soap: Wholly Kaw Iced Tea
- Aftershave: Wholly Kaw Iced Tea
- Post Shave: Thayers Rose, Hyaluronic Acid

Excellent shave tonight. The NOS Polsilvers are super smooth blades. Works well in the Red Tip, but likely better in a more aggressive razor.

Iced Tea is growing on me. It smells like basil with a bit of lemon, but not in a bad way. definitely not a traditional iced tea scent, but one wouldn’t expect a normal cent from WK. Performs great and has just enough cooling. The AS has much more cooling but not overly.

Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Alum + Stirling Witchhazel BayRum + Hyaluronic + Clubman VIBR
Good qualities from the soap. Creamy and slick with quite a mild scent...
Shave with this razor after putting it through the 3 pasted strops was noticeably sharper but smoother? Perhaps...but 3passes for another sas result and a couple of weepers plus some red irritated neck... Rating 8.5/10

 

[Ligeti]

Soap/Cream: Tabac soap (glass jar).
Brush: Mühle Silvertip fibre M
Razor: Merkur 38C
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2nd)
Post: warm rinse; Ladrôme witchhazel + alum
AS: cold rinse; Tabac AS.
Hot shower: body soap 'Lui' by La Maison du Savon de Marseille.


Two passes (WTG/ATG), excellent shave, BBS even. The combination of Tabac and Lui is marvellous. They blend easily, the soap smell wearing off over time shifting the smell back to 'just' Tabac.


10/10 for me

I face lathered with a Semogue 1800 yesterday. Today, I used the T2 and a bowl.

It’s really difficult to compare a synth to a natural when knot diameter, shape and density are so different.

Today’s shave was good, but not as good as yesterday’s. The blade, with one more use to it, may have had a tole in it. I don’t know.

Overall - 7
