Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend. It's been a while since I last used the inexpensive Wilkinson Sword Classic razor which for me is always a pleasure to shave with.

The two-piece design of the razor makes it easy to load the blade, covering the full blade with no exposure of the blade edges a brilliant safety feature especially for shaving sensitive areas without the risk of getting cuts & nicks from the blade ends which was a great bonus for me when I first introduced myself to the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving.

Another Great razor & blade duo. The Feather gives the mild WS classic a biting efficient edge mowing through my face & head stubble using short strokes with effortless ease.
The Proraso Sandalwood Soap isn't exactly a Summer scent but I use shaving soaps & creams what ever the season. Like all the other Proraso Soaps and creams it provides me with a slick protective lather for the shave leaving a equally good post shave feel.

Another close comfortable efficient combined face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

I have that razor also. It's a good buy for a few bucks. I only use it occasionally. I don't remember using a Feather with it. I might use that blade with it next time.
Thank you for your excellent posts.

Thank you. The Feather is a good match with it, as is the Gillette Silver Blue.

 

Soggy & overcast Saturday morning but, still a heck of a shave that was very effective and oh so smooth! Great shaves to all....

Naaah, just a little nudge. It was always there amigo. The SOTD thread here is in my opinion one of the best and well mannered threads in this forum. Classy & just true Gents.

Great shaves to you my friend....

The ARKO Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #454 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gold Dollar 280 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 3
Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Noble Otter Northern Elixir AS Splash
Aramis EdT

It’s been a while since I last used any of my Bundubeard treasures so I pulled out the Kudu soap and the Stoffel balm. This soap is glycerine based, I love its coffee/peppermint scent, it gives terrific lather, it’s loaded with menthol, and it’s so skin friendly. The Stoffel balm has such a nice peppermint scent, and it’s extremely moisturizing as well as soothing, along with a STRONG menthol sensation, the Northern Elixir aftershave is another bona fide menthol atom bomb. Finally, the lovely Aramis fragrance and I’m good to go. Three passes sure did me proud - what a brilliant BBS shave this was!

See you all tomorrow - enjoy your weekend!
