Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (26.10.2025)


Razor: Design 94 // Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium // Soap: Cold River Soap Works Fall LE // Brush: Shavemac Lotus // Aftershave: Stetson

A nice shave. 2,5 passes to get almost BBS.

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

Greetings
Thorsten

 

Radar vintage italian razor
Diy brush
Cella soap
Bic blade

This razor surprised me with a smooth and at the same time effective and deep shave. Little sensation of the blade and the scalloped but very rounded and smooth head is comfortable.

 

Sunday morning:

Quick shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 9
Pascale SC
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

This morning believe it or not my lovely wife selected my shaving item for me - she loves the scent of this Pascale cream which is an el cheapo one from Bulgaria. It smells beautiful - it has a classy cologne scent with sporty notes, it lathers like a maniac, it has a bit of a menthol sensation, and it gives an extremely comfortable postshave feeling like most Bulgarian creams. The Lubriderm moisturizer felt so soothing and the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave smells great - it’s also icy cold. Another wonderful three pass BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

Wishing you all a nice Sunday - be well and stay safe!

Monday Afternoon 27/10/2025

• Razor : Aylsworth Apex Ti Grade 5 Satin finish DE. (Canada)
• Blade : Wizamet Super Iridium Stainless (1). (Russia)
• Brush : QAA Amber Aero light Synthetic . (USA)
• Soap : Fine Accoutrements Latigo. (Italy)
• Aftershave : 4711 Original Eau De Cologne Aftershave . (Germany)
• Weight : 57 grams. (Razor)

Hi all,
I had a simply stunning shave this afternoon with the Apex Ti.
I say stunning because I have the apex SS version as well but the Ti version is another step above it in smoothness.
The Apex SS version is very efficient and smooth also but you get the feeling it could bite if your technique is a little bit off on the day , where as the Ti version is somewhat more forgiving in my opinion.
I also found the razor very nimble and easy to use. No doubt helped by the light weight the second pass felt like it was for touch-ups only the shave was that good.

I was meant to use Kentucky rain shaving soap for the shave, but after bowl lathering the soap, I went to get a coffee and On return knocked the bowl of the counter with the coffee cup.
Obviously, it was meant to be The Fine accoutrements Latigo was an excellent replacement as Kentucky rain was from a small sample pot.

Finished of nicely with 4711 Original Eau De Cologne Aftershave.

1 pass WTG 1 pass ATG no touch-ups done.
No, nicks no worries.

Cheers.
