SoS: March 23, 2015 - March 29, 2015

No idea. Bought off another forum 10/13 and seller did not know either. Have the original box and it has the same coloring but no markings or date code on the box. It was so unique looking I had to have it. This was the 2nd slant I had bought, 39c was the first purchased two weeks before this Bakelite and this one actually shaved closer than the 39c.

 

Well, good find - I've never seen one like it.

(Waiting for @mrchick to chime in with "Well....on page 1763 in Waits...." )

Shave of the day

Pre- Hot shower, Bulldog Original face wash, sandalwood bar soap

Soap/cream- The shave den Pumpkin harvest lanolin shaving soap

Brush- Whipped dog 24mm silvertip

Razor- Merkur 37c

Blade- Rapira super stainless(2)

Post- Cold water rinse, mentholated Pinaud Clubman original aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive aftershave balm

I'm getting to the bottom of my Nivea sensitive aftershave balm. I got a replacement for it, the Nivea sensitive cooling ASB. Which I'm looking forward to use.

TSD soap Pumpin harvest smells sooooooooo good! I love it. I keep going for the container and smelling it, if someone saw me they would think I'm OCD or something. I need to use a little more soap for a little thicker lather but It did protect me and I got a good shave!

Rapira held its own on the second shave. I'm gonna use up the whole tuck before giving the final verdict =P but it's looking good so far.

3/28/14

Prep: Warm wash and cornhusker's lotion
Lather: St. James of London Mandarin & Patchouli
Brush: TGN synthetic
Razor: Weber PH
Blade: SuperMax Titanium
Post: Cool rinse and Ogallala Bay Rum

I changed soap and blade brand today. I've used the St. James cream before and it was just fine. It makes a rich and creamy lather with plenty of slickness. The TGN knot whipped it out pretty quickly. The SuperMax blade was fine. Shave didn't feel that close initially, but within 15 minutes, I think it is near BBS. I smell good too!

 

SATURDAY
Nothing fancy; just another great 3-pass shave from the ol' Reliable…

Have a great Saturday, all!

Saturday 28th March



Warm shower
Hot towel
Shannon's Bay Spice scuttle lathered
Finest Badger brush made by myself
Gillette Red Tip Superspeed (Made in England)
Gillette 7 O'Clock Blue SP (3)
Cold rinse
Thayers Superhazel
Myrsol F/Extra aftershave

 

Well, my Sharp blade is still hanging in there and it gave me a very smooth, close, and respectable shave. This Permafrost Blue stick is very easy to lather and it's cooling to about the same level as Iced Subzero soap. The skincare is also quite good. It left me with a very comfortable feeling.

 

Excellent Shave
I welcomed der Vorschlaghammer back today with RPTD and CF Sherlock. The soap is exemplary in performance with a very classy scent. I've neglected it too long. I was a bit worried that Sherlock would chastise me for lapses in technique, but the burn was only a hint that was quickly cooled by the menthol. Sherlock and Test Depth work nicely together, but I may pick up the matching aftershave at some point.
Prep: warm shower, Shea Moisture scrub
Soap: Reef Point Test Depth
Brush: HIS lather monster
