The Williams Mug Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the САЙВЕР Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

16 Oct 2025

TOBS Oud, Semogue Pegasus, Gillette Executive on #5
Exact same lather technique, nice and slick, same prep

So I popped in one of my Personna made in the USA blades for comparison with my most recent blades

Initial impression of dragging rather nice a clean cutting action, a little better in the 2nd pass perhaps, but it still took more work to get the desired result. Binned. I have place the box of blades at the back of the cabinet, who knows I might come back to these another day

I thought I would have to go to 3 passes but I bailed out after 2 passes to be on the safe side

Despite that the shave turned out fine

Finished off with the Blue Stratos duo

Have a great start to your days gents

 

Happy belated birthday my friend!

Great shave!

Thursday morning:

Warm shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 11
Godrej Menthol SC
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

India produces so many great shaving products and this Godrej Menthol cream is one of them. The scent is different than how it used to be - it’s very pleasant in a clean, soapy, minty way, a small dab on both cheeks gives awesome lather that’s so thick, rich, slick and protective, the menthol sensation feels like washing your face with cold water, and it’s excellent in the skincare department. The Lubriderm moisturizer and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave were a perfect finish. Another most enjoyable three pass BBS shave - the Perma Sharp blade is still performing like a champ!

Wishing you all a good day - be well and stay safe!

Hi Friends,

Here my yesterday´s Shave of the Day (15.10.205)


Razor: Merkur 34c INOX // Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra (33) // Soap: Undine Kosmetik Prototype // Brush: Nightdiver´s Manufactory // Aftershave: Undine Kosmetik Wild River AS + Balm

A good shave. The razor worked very well, but the Prototype soap which i was the lucky guy to try out, was missing on glide and residual slickness. But they are on a good way. Smells exactly like the Aftershave, fresh and woodsy.

A 7 out of 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

Thanks for your post. I enjoy Godrej Cinthol Shaving Cream also. I think it's very good.

Thanks for your post. I bought the 34S (silver plated) and like it a lot. I've also been eyeing the 23 inox because I've had the 23C for a long time and I like it very much also.

The more I use this ATT Slant, the more I like it. Its now my favorite instead of being tied for 1st place. Definitely Above the Tie now. Did I just say that?

 

It’s one of the most popular Indian creams - every single one of them is great. In general Indian creams are top quality.

I used VI-JOHN Icy Mint this morning. It's another good Indian shave cream. I have VI-JOHN Fruit Fusion also. Fruit Fusion smells like Juicy Fruit gum.
