Oooh! Planning and making a list for my biannual trip over to Maggard’s on Monday (you can probably sense the fear emanating from my bank acct. already). Will have to check out the B&M Death….
Switched things up a bit.
Rare "pre shower" shave, and didn't use an alcohol splash. Shave went well, but feeling like something is missing without that alcohol splash.

Treet Carbon Steel Blade review(s)
13 October 2022
| Prep | Baylis & Harding Cedar & Amber liquid gel soap. |
| Razor | King C Gillette |
| Brush | Amazon Badger Hair brush |
| Bowl | Fine Stoneware |
| Lathering | Noble Otter’s--Lonestar scent (using boiled tap water) |
| Treet Blade | Power Pakistan Shave #2 |
| Passes | WTG XTG Buffing as required |
| Cleanup | Rinse and dried face Witch Hazel Alum Stick Noble Otter Lone Star After Shave |
| Rating(s) and Comments | Today the Power blade, King C Gillette razor, Noble Otter Lonestar soap, and Badger hair brush, combined with a long soak-in prep, yielded another 10.0 BBS quality shave. Only had to do moderate buffing this shave. Posting later than normal, our bed's four-legged furry alarm clock let us sleep in. |

Oh boy!!! That sounds both dangerous and exciting. Just a heads up the B&M Four Horsemen products are currently pre-order, and go full launch 10/18. I would 100% recommend Death, it smells so good.
Thursday morning shave on two-days growth:
This was my first time using my minty 1941 Aristocrat, but not the first time using an Aristocrat of this era. I love the grippy handle of these razors, the weight balance, and the balanced performance between smoothness and efficiency. Today, however, I ended up with quite a few weepers, mostly on my second pass over my chin and my neck. I'm not sure why either. One of the weepers on my chin almost seems to be from an irritated hair follicle that perhaps was slightly swollen from my prior shave. The English Wilkie was on its first shave too, which perhaps resulted in its "sharpest" performance. The soap was great. Regardless, I stopped at a DFS after two passes and decided against touch ups. The Proraso Rinfrescante (green) handled the weepers well.
I would rate the shave 7.5/10.

- Vintage English Wilkinson Super Sword (1)

The usual suspects today…
Yaqi Rainbow Brush
Fine Accoutrements Bowl
Castle Forbes 1445 shaving cream
Henson AL13 Medium ++ Razor
Mühle blade 3rd Use
Nivea Protect and Care Aftershave Balm
Yesterday I used the Mühle Blade in my Merkur 20C. Didn’t post anything here. Today, the blade is in the Henson accompanied by the wonderful Castle Forbes 1445 cream and Yaqi brush. Together with the Fine Accoutrements Bowl they create a lather to die for. Hmmm…yummy.
Another close, enjoyable and comfortable shave. Once you’ve found those blades and razors which suit you then it’s time to relax, slow down and savour the shave. It’s a daily ritual I always look forward to. Time out from the madness of a world sometimes too busy to reflect in gratitude for the gift of life, friends and simple pleasures.
Score 10/10. BBS. 2 passes. Zero irritation
Have a wonderful day.

Pre Shave: Warm Shower, Stirling Bath Soap, Stirling Unscented Pre Shave Soap
Razor: Black Supply SE
Blade: Supply Black Label (5)
Soap/Cream: Barrister & Mann Cool
Bowl: Georgetown Pottery Travel Shave Bowl
Brush: Paul Trotter Northeast Ice Handle 26mm G5A Knot
Post Shave: Cold Water Rinse, Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel, Nivea Unscented Post Shave Balm, Polo Double Black EDT
Rating: 9/10 Excellent, efficient 3 pass BBS shave with one touch up, two weepers, no cuts or irritation. Very nice lather, good cushion and residual slickness. When doing my touch up on my chin I obviously used too much pressure or over buffed causing the weepers. A quick swipe of an Alum Stick cured all.

• Timeless Titanium .95 SB polished.
• Feather Hi stainless blade (1).
• TOBS Jermyn shaving cream.
• Executive Shaving Pre-Shave oil.
• Captain’s Choice bowl.
• Omega boar.
• Nivea cooling post shave balm.
• Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla.
• Thayers Witch Hazel facial toner.
Todays shave was on a light beard as yesterdays shave was around noon.
The Timeless Ti .95 SB along with a new Feather proved too much for the light beard growth. Absolutely no weepers, irritation, or any other fuss as the razor glided on a WTG, XTG, and follow up ATG buffing on cheeks. The judge is awarding a solid 10….I love the smell of Clubman Classic Vanilla after shave. Just wish it lasted longer! Have a great mid October Thursday everyone.

Not sure why but Clubman Classic Vanilla was the first Clubman aftershave I ever used. It has a permanent place in my den. Enjoy your day, sir!

9.6/10
Second use of the Bolzano blade and it was much closer, but I did get a minor weeper. Nothing major, and the shave results were nice. I think I'm coming to the conclusion the Bolzano is a nice mid-tier blade. It's comfortable enough, and sharp enough for me to use without being exceptional. In it's defense I've been shaving with a Polsilver for the last few weeks so very few blades are going to look great behind those. Faskally is the bomb. Great scent and performance.
