Hi Friends,

here is my Shave of the Day (22.08.2021)


Preshave: menthol Cube // Razor: Blackland Blackbird // Blade: Ladas // Soap: Calani Oriental Plum // Brush: RazoRock Barber 24 // Aftershave: Eucris EdT

Great shave. 2 passes with minor touch ups for that Babybutt-smooth finish. The Eucris is fantastic. Smells heavenly.

Enjoy your shaves, take your time and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

 

Today was a quick shave before church

razor: Valet Auto Strop Model"C"
blade: Feather carbon steel single edge (stropped and now on 12th shave)
brush: Semogue 1305
soap : Fine Accouterments Italian Citrus
aftershave:Fine Accouterments Italian Citrus
talc: NOS Seaforth! Men's Talc



I have been using the carbon steel blade and using the auto strop feature. It is working surprisingly well. It has settled down to something that feels like the Feather SS blade by about the second or third shave.
