SOS: September 2023

DE SOTD, September 14th 2023

Razor : Razorock 2nd generation Lupo.72 316 SSP - Mfg Jan 2021, tame mid range to mid range, excellent machining and finish QC with unique design for working under the nose area. This is one of my better DE razors I have used over many others collected and enjoyed over the years. It ticks all the boxes for myself what a DE should be for my style of shaving and I should use it more but I still enjoy variety and so I have a large razor rotation. 6 years ago a lot of affordable high quality razors where hardly available and just where not around other than vintage razors.
Had a stellar comfortable close shave with no issues.
Blade : Gillette silver blue(1) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity. Top tier blade for myself.
Soap : Taylor of old bond st herbal sandalwood- very nice herbal scented cream 6/10 scent strength with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Moka express" 24mm synthetic. Excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury pillow like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Have 3 different variants of the Moka express and enjoying all the different face feels they offer.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Ogallala Bayrum & sandal wood lotion + a dollop of Geo F Trumper Sandalwood skin food lotion.
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a excellent comfortable close shave with my RR Lupo.72 with a GSB blade. It does not get much better shaving then this for myself with no issues !

Have some great shaves!

Friday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Astra Green day 12
Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS
Prep ASB
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

Man oh man did I ever enjoy this shave this morning and did I ever freeze my face off in the process. The Glacial Black Cherry soap’s beautiful scent filled my bathroom, the lather buried my face so thoroughly - was it ever thick, rich, super slick as well as protective, the menthol sensation was killer cold, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Prep and the Snake Bite aftershave completed the job superbly. Finally the magnificent scent of the Bleu de Chanel and I’m all set. Three passes knocked off my rough stubble and left me smoother than silk - what a dynamite shave this was!

Shana Tovah U Metukah to all my Jewish friends - a good and sweet new year!

The La Toja Shave Stick lathered well with Jayaruh #292 High Mtn White badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AC-Matic by Roger Quintero and a Feather AC Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

That should say "1937 Formula" not "Original 1893".

 

more like 1979 formula..
