Tuesday 09.26.21 SOTD Gillette ‘38 Senator / Gillette The Spoiler Elite Razor Ivory over Pastel Swirl 24mm Boar Williams Shaving soap / Barbasol Brisk Aftershave
DE SOTD, OCtober 26th 2021 Razor: Razorock Old type open comb-Mfg 2015,milder range, have not used this beauty since the last OCtober possibly, put in a Kai blade and man this baby perform today. The Kai blade cranked it up a nice notch to my sweet spot for shaving, very comfortable shave. Use to be my old travel razor with a standard blade, hard to nick your self when in the tropical climates. Blade : Kai SS (3) excellent blade, sharp & Smooth with excellent longevity. Extra wide by 4.5/1000 of a inch per side than a standard Gillette Astra blade. Gives milder razors a nice boost in efficentcy or for those who just enjoy blade feel in any razor. Soap: Ogallala Bayrum with sage & cedar wood, nice scent + great lather qualities. Have been using a water mister lately when mixing lathers and this has helped keeping this soap from being so airy IMO. Nice soap regardless. Brush: Yaqi 24mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber + excellent lather painter. Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area. Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. Post shave: witch hazel cleanse + Ogallala Bayrum with sandal wood + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion balm(scentless) Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my RR old type OC with a Kai blade. Have some great shaves!

A question about that aftershave bottle if I may: Where did you find a square glass bottle with threads that fit the Clubman cap? BTW, +1 on filling it with the Wonderful Whiskey Woods.
Thursday 09.28.21 SOTD Tatara Masamune OC / Personna Platinum Elite Razor Fire & Ice 24mm Manchurian White Fan Pre de Provence No. 63 Men's shave soap & After Shave Balm
Razor: Above the Tie mixed aluminum SB90 with aluminum open comb baseplate Blade: Gillette GSB Soap: B&M Diamond AS: Pinaud Lilac Vegetal Enjoyed my first shave with the aluminum OC baseplate from ATT's "ugly stuff" sale. Very light scratches on the bottom of the baseplate do not bother me, and they do not even show up in the photo. (The white streak on the right side of the plate is a photo flash reflection). This OC plate steps up the blade feel and efficiency over the copper plate from last night.
Friday October 29, 2021 Razor: Kenyon/Sextoblade Blade: sChick Injector Brush: Trotter Handcraft Lake of Fire/Timberwolf Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70 AS 2: CHH Tobacco Fragrance: John Varvatos Dark Rebel Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,087 Work accomplished and new water heater installed yesterday for my parents. Nice shave this morning and while the Fat is slick and leaves the face feeling GREAT I just don't love it or reach for it much. On the fence with it on whether to keep it around as I reduce inventory. It's not the soap, it's me.............sounds like an imminent breakup. 1st pass with the Sextoblade re-scaled just because I had an itch to scratch with it and 2 passes with the Kenyon. Have a great day Folks !
