Oct 11 SOTA Headshave

Good afternoon.

Mühle R102
Gillette 7 o'clock Permasharp DE Blade (2)
Parker Synthetic Brush
TSD Barbershoppe SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Dome Turf: 6.25 days



I really let my dome grow some heavy turf. It wasn't because I was lazy, but 3 days ago, I head my noggin' on the coffee tray holder in my car as I was looking for something underneath my car seat. Got a nice 1+ inch cut. Serves me right for not closing the tray. Lol! Anyway, I did a three pass uneventful BBS Dome shave. I changed my technique so that short and buffing strokes were warranted to prevent cuts, irritations, etc.
I went with the TSD Barbershoppe SS for the slickness. Here's my lather:



As expected, I did have some alum feedback. Finished with the witch hazel and the matching aftershave to end this session. Take care.

 

thank you Joe

(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend. I can't recall the last time that I used the German WS blade which is another good match for the assertive semi-open comb Mühle R41.
The Nivea Men Originals shave cream never fails to provide me with a super protective slick lather leaving a good post shave feel. Superb stuff!

The Cien twin blade disposable provided me with a close comfortable acceptable head shave and like the Gillette guard the swivel head design glides easily wonderfully over the curvature of my precious swede.
Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

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

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

Gillette Popular No 46 set
Gillette Platinum (1)
Omega Boar 10049
Razorock XXX
Rinfrescante
Prada Ocean Luna Rossa

Superb 2 passes, love the feel of the naked brass of the Popular on the face
Gillette Platinum is sharp ‘n smooth
It’s been a long while since I used the XXX Razorock: it is interesting, I get a hint of the British leather, some almond maybe, super slick, easy to lather with the big boar

Have a super Saturday one and all
