14 July 2023



1 ½ days ~ due to circumstances this was a late morning shave
Soap = Proraso green
Brush = Omega 49
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Merkur 37C
Blade = Feather (2)
Three passes plus touch ups. Temporary weeper left angle of mouth, too many distractions, I was a bit hurried I must admit
Post = usual post clean-up, Brut ASL and Proraso AS balm
Scent = None: Staying home today

Feather (2) felt competent
I used only half a scoop of Proraso green croap so did not get the croap/water balance right the first time, a bit runny, added some more, rescued the lather
Not the best shave, I rate this around 7/10, can do better next time
Have a great Friday Ladies and Gents

July 14 SOTA

Good afternoon.

1959 Gillette Fatboy (setting 6)
Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (7)
Rockwell Synthetic Brush
Arko SS
Fine Accoutrements Platinum AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 1 day



I was going to use my Cryogen soap because it's still hot, but went with Arko instead. It looks as though Arko will be Fitzgerald very soon. The same can be said with Cryogen. This is the last time that I will be using my Rockwell brush in fulfilling using the same shave item for a week. Tomorrow, I will decide what razor to use for the entire week.
Anyway, getting back to my shave. Arko is just a great soap. It is super slick and so easy to lather. I used a little more soap that I needed, but that's OK because I am trying to use it up. Here's my lather:



Did an error-free 3 passer for a very close shave. Alum feedback was slight. Applied the FA Platinum aftershave and there wasn't any stinging or burning
sensation. Take care.

 

Thanks Gary, it turned ok
Bent no, slanted, (I think) (37C)

Thanks Joe, it turned out to be a nice shave despite the slight weeper

 

Snazzy setup there Gary. That's not the whole kilo in the bowl, is it?

 

Ahh yes..slant..

 

thank you Chris.no just as small chunk,filled the bowl.

 

awesome friday affairs gents.

 

Thanks Gary.
