Thank you very much, Primo!
Cobra Classic is an interesting razor. I don't quite fit the artist club blades, but her appearance gives a highlight to the shaving process.

Thank you, sir!

 

Beautiful brush Douglas. The knot is stunning as is the handle.

YESTERDAY'S SHAVE


Prep: Musgo Real Oakmoss
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Super-max Platinum
Brush: Maggard 24mm synthetic
Soap: Wild West Shaving Co- 2017
Post: T&S Classic A/S


Had a decent shave yesterday. Really like the scent of 2017 from Wild West, it is a winter scent and is a nice mix of fir, pine, peppermint, apple, cranberry. Vanilla, black current, bourbon, clove, cedar,and spices. Pretty much all the great winter scents blended together to make something special. Lathered up great in the copper bowl, I did notice that the lather worked better with a little less water. Very happy with the results from this shave and finished off with T&S Classic which is nice and moisturizing.

TODAY'S SHAVE


Prep: Occams Crushed Lime
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Super-max Platinum
Brush: Maggard 24mm synthetic
Soap: Tiki Fougere
Post: BW Peg Leg Nichols

Beautiful shave this morning. The lather from the vegan Tiki formula is one of the best vegan soaps I have tried, which is a bit surprising since the ingredient list is short and simple, but dang this stuff makes a great lather. Fresh bright green Fougere scent that paired well with the Crushed Lime pre shave soap. Got a BBS shave with absolutely no sign of irritation. Finished off with BW Peg Leg Nichols that comes in this cool black skull glass bottle, and surprisingly no burn from the aftershave. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!

That's too bad you had a bad reaction from the C&C soap Primo. I recently picked up the Ellum set and have really been enjoying the C&C products, especially their balm and body powder.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Proraso Pre-Shave
Tabac Shaving Soap
Henckels Rapide
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Pinaud Vanilla

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the B-400 badger brush. I did two passes with the Henckels Rapide Razor with a Henckels wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

This was the third shave with a wedge and my first with the Henckels Rapide. It was by far the best yet, also. I got a very close, easy shave. After the shave I cleaned up and then refreshed the blade with the Allegro. I did 15 cycles on the sharpening side and 25 cycles on the strop.

 

Doesn't bother me, I have too many other fantastic soaps that don't irritate my skin.

 

Todays SOTD is all about the brush, namely my new Shavemac ATG 2017 LE brush.

It has a 30 x 58mm D01 3-band fan knot and the results speak for themselves.
