SoS: March 21, 2016 - March 27, 2016

Wednesday's


TESC Pre-Shave Oil
TABAC
Jayaruh #51 synthetic
GEM G-Bar
CVS Carbon Steel SE
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Vegetal

The TABAC Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #51 synthetic brush. Two passes with my GEM G-Bar razor and a CVS Carbon Steel SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

This is a noticeably better shot...new camera??

Tuesday Shave

Cold water
In Shower Prep- Noxzema
Pso-Homemade mint oil
Brush- RazoRock Plissoft
Razor-Gillette Slim on 5
Blade- Astra SP (1)
Soap- RazoRock XXX
Thayers Witch Hazel
ASB- Pinaud "Veg"

I had my first shave with an adjustable today thanks to @gorgo2. The Slim worked beautifully on 5 with the Astra blade. I liked the comfort of this blade in my Super Speed but it didn't cut quite close enough, the Slim changed that. Very comfortable shave and for only getting 2 passes in I was almost BBS, a few areas under my chin kept me at a DFS. I can't wait until tomorrow to do a full 3 passes. As usual the Plissoft brush worked wonderfully and I think that the XXX is my go to soap; great scent, lather and protection. I also tried Noxzema for the first time today, I like the cool feeling it gives. A pretty good shave considering I was rushed. Have a great day folks!

 

You've tried a vintage Slim! You're one of us now!

Kudos to Don ( @gorgo2) from bringing you a classic shave today!

FYI... An SS is probably too mild. It's like a Slim on 3

 

Razor: Orak TTO
Blade: Rapira Super Stainless
Soap: Proraso Sandalwood & Sheabutter
Brush:Vie-long White Horse Hair
AS: Barbon

Excellent BBS! No nicks or irritation

 

Nice looking TTO! I am not familiar with Orak, but it looks like a sturdier version of a Feather Popular. What do you know about the maker?

 

Pre-Shave: Occams pre-shave soap, cold water
Razor: BBS-1
Blade: Ladas (1)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Lather: Mike's Orange, Cedarwood and Black Pepper
Post-shave: Alum, Barrister & Man Kyovu Original, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil​

 

Great vintage brush. I'd love to have it in my collection.

 

Planned Weds SOTD

Schick type D razor
Restored Grosvenor c/w TGN 2 band badger brush
Geo.F.Trumper Limes skin food
Mikes orange, cedarwood and black pepper shaving soap
Ogalalla bayrum, limes and peppercorns aftershave

 

Thank you Bama Samurai It's a cheap razor like yuma but a bit more expensive and you shouldn't expect a higher quality of Feather Popular razor. But the shaving angle and aggressiveness is perfect for me. Orak is the company which produces this razor by itself.
