SoS; January 2018.

The third time I'm changing my setup - this is crazy!

Nivea Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 3
WSP Formula T Bay Rum SS (sample)
Krampert's Bay Rum AS Splash
Lagerfeld Classic EdT

This sample just arrived now and it smells so nice. I can't wait to give it a try. Brian Krampert's Bay Rum aftershave should pair very well with it!

 

Cadet Model 12 razor
Gillette Silver Blue blade
RazoRock Plissoft brush
VeraSoapCo Peppermint SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Barbsol Brisk A/S w/added menthol

Another razor that had been sitting on the shelf and after using it, I have to ask myself why? The above set up gave me a fine 2 pass DFS and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

Got a GREAT 3-pass BBS shave from this very cheap razor. Nice face feel. I am well shaved and feeling good!

 

Nice pictures!
I love the look of that Schick injector. Is that a blue handle? It looks brand spanking new.
Thanks for sharing.

 

Wonderful shave and picture.

 

Thank you, Kerry!

 

Tabac Tuesday!

Tabac Original soap, Omega Pro 98 boar, Suribachi, warm water

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Semogue 1470 Boar
Soap: Blue's Soap
Razor: Gem MMCP
Blade: Gem SS
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Tuff Red AS

A cracking shave today. I keep forgetting about this soap and evey time I use it, I think, don't leave it so long next time.
I could never forget about the Clog Pruf though, pretty efficient and handles like a dream.
If modern manufacturers wanted to make a Gem bladed razor to suit most tastes, I don't think they would be far off it if this was their template.

Gillette Slim Adjustable
Gillette Wilkinson sword blade
A little alum, and
Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm

Ive never used one of these blades before. I liked it a lot. How can it be Gillette and Wilkinson Sword at the same time??
Anyone used them before? I think they're really smooth.

Enjoy your evening all

 

In India, where they are produced/marketed for (Some of them are made in China some in India, check the back of your tuck) Gillette owns the Wilkinson sword trademark. They are decent blades, but to me they are not nearly as good as the German Wilkinson Sword Classic blades.

Today's shave was with a razor that seems to bit me almost every time I use it. Not today. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me with a near BBs shave. Well built, super sharp razor.

Razor- "Respect 4". Best Silver Steel. Extra Hollow Ground. Germany.
Brush- Omega Boar
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented.
Aftershave- Arctic Blue.

 

Good dark setup and picture Mark.

 

Thanks very much Mark.
