DE SOTD, Saturday, November 4th 2023

Razor : Razorock Wunderbar 316 SS slant with a modified Gem MicroMatic handle- Mfg 2017>, mid to upper mid range. Well made and machining and finishing QC outstanding. Razorock pushed the boundaries for slant razor design when it was introduced in Stainless steel and machining accuracy was well done and hard to accomplish as a machinist IMO. I found this razor works the best with a Steep angle(riding the bar) with a short handle for less leverage and quicker corrections as needed around the chin & neck area IMO. Had a close and comfortable shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Treet Platinum(3) sharp and comfortable with reasonable longevity. New blade to try for myself.
Soap : Speick stick, nice mild scented spicy lavender with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Red Zebra" 26mm with snow Leopard synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 : Ach Brito Lavanda with with hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my RR 316 SS Wunderbar slant with a Treet platinum blade. Borderline BBS shave so I gave it a 9.5/10!

Have some great shaves!

You’re so lucky to have that Shulton Old Spice. Mind you, my Vintage Spice soap and aftershave from Master Soap Creations smells identical!

Sunday morning:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 7
Godrej Menthol SC
Prep ASB
Mennen Skin Bracer AS Splash

The Godrej Menthol cream was apparently reformulated a few years ago so it has a different scent than before - now it smells clean and soapy with minty notes, it lathers so thick, rich, slick, as well as cushiony and protective, the menthol sensation is strong, and it leaves a very comfortable postshave feeling. My Razorock Plissoft Monster performed like a champ with this cream. The Prep and the Skin Bracer aftershave were a wonderful old school finish. Two passes gave me a terrific BBS shave that was lots of fun!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and stay safe!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Vintage Life Morning TOST Shave Soap
Bunny B-400 by Tom
J.A. Henckels Rapide
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Hendrick's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

The Vintage Life Morning TOST Shave Soap lathered well with the Bunny B-400 Badger brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher and Henckels Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Hendrick's Witch Hazel and then Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
