SOS: August 2024

DE SOTD, Saturday, August 17th 2024

Razor : Razorock Wunderbar 316 torsional slant with a modified GEM Micromatic handle, Mfg 2017> mid range to upper mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC(tight tolerances on the pins for accuracy is amazing IMO). I like to use a short handle with a steep angle(riding the bar) with a light touch seems to work excellent for great results. The shorter handle works the best with this razor head for less leverage and much quicker maneuver changes around the chin. Once mastered the razor performs very well IMO.
Blade : Gillette Perma-sharp(4) sharp and smooth with great longevity. Top tier performance IMO.
Soap : Razorock The Dead Sea croap, very interesting unique addictive scent that is a shaving treat when it comes up in my rotation + excellent lather qualities. I like to leave left over lather in the bowl for fragrance & hand washing in the washroom.
Brush : Yaqi "Cavern lake" 24mm synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Interesting visual handle with good ergonomics for grip + splendid knot.
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 : Razorock "The Dead sea" splash with witch 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 Wunderbar with a Perma-sharp blade.


Have some great shaves!

The WS shave stick is wonderful, it's surprising how much of a good lather you get from these sadly no longer available humble shave sticks.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
L'OCCITANE Cade Shave Soap
Jayaruh #460 Silvertip Badger Brush
1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher
Personna PTFE SE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Lilac Vegetal

The L'OCCITANE Cade Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #460 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher Razor and the Personna PTFE SE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Mahvelous, Gents….

 

Tim was very clever with that name!!!

Very well-done shave this morning.0:50 at the Loading Dock with the ArtRazor(Ukraine)shave soap. I wish I knew more about this soap, but it gives a nice shave, that's a fact. The Motorcycle Man From Kentucky PIFed it to me-hopefully he can help with the history. It's probably more of a fall/winter soap. Why do I say that. The Stoylin Glacial Lime A.S. doesn't feel that cold, in concert with it. Another reason...lots of tingle upon administering the thing. Zero cuts, polka-dots, one Knick(South Porcupine). No cologne today. Super Duper Outstanding.
