SOS: October 2019

Thank you. The shave will take place in @Trigger's Chemistry lab -as I say I'm experimenting between two aftershaves to see what works best with my WSP soap.

 

I'm assuming piment means spice.

 

what a mug!!!

Much thanks, Gary....

To be totally honest, I didn’t even know that Juicy Couture were the makers of Dirty English. Never knew they produced a fragrance for men. The Misses picked this set up for me and I wasn’t expecting much. To my surprise, it is a very masculine and well put together juice. Leather, Oud, woods and a slight citrus. Very nice indeed....

FRIDAY'S SHAVE​

Perfumed by:
Olivier Creed


Razor - Rex Supply Co. "Ambassador" Adjustable Stainless Steel with matching stand
Blade - *5th Shave
Shave Brush - Vigshaving Nylon Synthetic
Shave Soap - Gold Dachs Sandelholz
Aftershave - Thayers Witch Hazel (with added menthol)
Post-Shave Balm - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Mysterium Serum"
Deodorant - Herban Cowboy "Unscented"
Fragrance - Creed Viking + Creed Sublime Vanille

***EDIT - Excellent 2-pass shave with only the most minor of touch ups needed afterwards. No nicks, no cuts. BBS. I decided for now to just go with the mentholated witch hazel splash for the post-shave and didn't apply any skin moisturizer yet. I rather enjoy the skin being a tad airy and dry this time around. Feels very comfortable. A really nice shave considering I used no pre-shave oil or post-shave moisturizer. The triple-milled hard puck shaving soap really works just by itself when a solid razor on a gentle setting is used.

 

Thank you


- Ken

So many great ways to have a shave!

I havent posted a SOTD post for over a week, i apologise, things have been hectic at college over the last two weeks.

Double SOTD:
Shave one: this shave was 30th shave with the 7 o clock sharp edge blade, and its last as it started tugging. It had a very good run though, and the sharp edges have become my go to blade for longevity. I'll definitely be ordering a 100 pack of them when my blade reserves get low which could take a year or two. The only blade ive used that lasts longer is the feathers, which is the next blade to receive at least a 30 shave treatment although i might use it for longer.

Razor: Gillette Super Speed flare tip (UK)
Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave
Blade: Gillette 7 o clock sharp edge(30)
Soap: Col Conk lime
Aftershave balm: prep

Shave 2:
The first shave with the fresh feather and what a fantastic blade. This is the second feather ive used, and if it wasnt for its high price it would be my main blade too. Perfect for speed shaves in a mild razor or a perfect BBS shave if you pair it with an agressive razor like a fatip piccolo. These blades have a reputation for "drawing blood" but as long as your technique is good and you use 0 pressure, you're highly unlikely to cut yourself. Its so sharp that i didnt even feel it shaving my whiskers and at first i thought it wasnt doing anything until i rinsed it off and realised how good these blades really are lol. BBS shave in 3 passes with 0 irritation.

Razor: Gillette super speed flare tip(UK)
BRUSH: OMEGA 49
Blade: feather hi-stainless(1)
Soap: Arko shave stick
Aftershave Balm: prep
