SoS: December 2020

Parker adjustable injector, Schick injector blade, shave 4


Razor was set at 4 this time. Shave was I think best compromise between close and comfortable at this setting with a Schick blade. BBS finish achieved. I also have to say the taconic shave cream the vendor also sells is quite good and would recommend it if you pick up this razor and are looking for an extra item(s) to get the free shipping.

(Christmas Eve Face & Head Shave.)

Greetings,

As it's christmas day tomorrow i have done my weekly Wahl no guard buzz cut + followed by a head shave...
A superb face & head christmas eve shave. Throughout the week the katana razor has yet again performed superbly with it's efficient smoothness. I'm really pleased that i placed a order for it now...A great addition to my shaving den and a superb christmas present to myself.

The 'Snapped in 1/2' Supershave X blade has impressed me 'especially for my head shave' with it's non-aggressive yet smooth efficiency another blade that has paired together with the assertive Katana wonderfully...I intend to try out various other brand blades in future shaves...As always the monsavon shaving soap never fails to provide a luxurious protective slick lather.
A wonderfully smooth 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable christmas eve face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel...My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your christmas eve ladies & gentlemen.

PS: To all members of TSD, try and have a safe & peaceful christmas day tomorrow.
Yours-Barry.

2020-12-24, Thursday

It's foggy this morning, though not the real kind: you couldn't lean your bicycle against it.
I like driving in the fog, it's exciting with everyone not turning on their headlights or having a broken one. Luckily the roads are narrow....

The mist and drizzle inspired me to use the complex Teutonic lavender, which, combined with Rotbart, gave me really smooth skin.

And now I can sit back and enjoy the mist.





Sapone PS: Palmolive d'antan
Sapone: Meißner Tremonia, Lavender De Luxe
Pennello: Lab. Villefranche, Cucciolino Padouk/Silvertip 24
Rasoio: Rotbart, Mond Extra
Lametta: Gillette, 7 O’Clock, Super Stainless
AS 1: MilMil, Figaro Gel
AS 2: Aloe Gel
EdC: Czech & Speake, Oxford & Cambridge
ST: Miles Davis, Kind Of Blue, 1959

 

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Brush:- Yaqi Rainbow Pony Synth. 26/55mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Stirling ~ Christmas Eve
Razor/Blade:- Merkur 34G / Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow #5
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Invite E High Potency Pure Oil (10 drops), Natural Plant Glycerin (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5)
Fragrance:- Davidoff Cool Water Wave

I'm totally confused? I find the Gillette Nacets feels exactly the same as the Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow, but, somehow I'm going completely nuts either the Yellow felt much smoother than the Nacets.

Somehow I feel completely gone backwards or back to front, has anybody tested all they're razors Nacets vs 7 O'Clock Yellow

 

Suitable for framing, Sergio.

 

I don't know how shavers do it. I couldn't specifically identify any razor blade. Sure, I can tell if one is smoother than the other, but that's it.

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Old Spice Original Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #313 Badger
TNNSER 3D Printed SE Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Old Spice Original Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #313 Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER 3D Printed SE Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thursday December 24,2020

Razor: Star Lather Catcher
Blade: Gem (1)
Brush: Teton Zen Series “Bob Ross”
Soap: Ethos/Oleo Dragonsbeard
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Ethos Dragonsbeard SFS
Fragrance: Prada Luna Rossa Black

 

Thursday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Minora day 13
Bundubeard On The Berg SS
Fino ASB
Old Spice Classic AS Splash

I can’t believe how this Minora blade is still performing - it’s been almost two weeks and it still seems to have plenty of sharpness. The On The Berg soap is another one of Jaco’s greatest creations - the scent is beautiful - difficult for me to describe but still lovely, the tallow in it helps provide such wonderful lather which has lots of slickness, and it’s so skin friendly. The Fino balm (thanks again Dave!) has no scent, it’s very moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Old Spice aftershave completed the job. I don’t mind the scent of it but I definitely prefer the original Shulton version. Three passes resulted in a brilliant BBS shave!

Be well and safe - best wishes for Christmas!
