SoS: November 30, 2015 - December 6, 2015

This was my setup from yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to post it up. It was interview day, so I needed an irritation free BBS shave. Lucky for me, this combination didn't disappoint.

 

WEDNESDAY
Late posting from an early morning shave
Love the fresh citrusy scent of this 'Sweeney Todd' soap from Route 66! Smooth 'Friodur' shave, finished with a splash of home-made bay rum!

Have a Happy Hump day, all!

 

Lovely photo, my friend and I hope the interview went well!

 

I'm waiting on the Latha "Taiga" to arrive...Sounds like a great scent!

 

Many thanks Celestino....I'm pretty confident that it went well. Should have confirmation by the end of the week.

 

I like the stand. Where did you get it? How did the interview go?

 

Thanks. It is actually a Gillette / AOS stand that was part of a killer deal I found on the 5miles app. I got the AOS brush and stand for 5 bucks. I found the brush to be too floppy, so I pulled the knot and placed it into a vintage handle at a lower loft. The interview was much easier than I expected, I think it went well, and I should have confirmation soon.

I've really enjoy using my vintage razors, but decided I need to use one of my "new" razors for a change. I forgot just how smooth a shaver the Merkur 34C is. Easy two+ passes resulting in a beautiful DFS.

SHAVE OF THE DAY TUESDAY



PREP: SHOWER WITH RAZOROCK SON OF ZEUS
DEODORANT: PAA CAD
PRE SHAVE: GUSTAFSONS WOODLANDS
RAZOR: GILLETTE SUPERSPEED FLAIR TIP
BLADE: TREET CLASSIC
BRUSH: OMEGA S SYNTHETIC
SOAP: LE PIERE LUCIEN CEDRE PATCHOULI
AFTERSHAVE: STETSON COOLING MOISTURE
BALM: GILLETTE INTENSE COOLING LOTION


This turned out to be a pretty good shave, 2 pass, not quite BBS but pretty happy with the results. The LPL whipped up a much nicer lather than it did last time. The performance and scent is great IMO. The Treet classic has turned out to be a pretty decent blade. I was unsure because some of the Treets don't agree with me at all. Finished off with Stetson A/S which has a light scent and light menthol but feels great on the skin. Hope everyone has a great shave and a great day!

 

Welcome to the SOTD.

 

Beautiful pictures gentlemen!

 

Beautiful photo as always my friend. It's not often we see you use a boar brush. Nice.

 

There's something elegant in the simplicity of that razor. Beautiful Kevin.

 

Gorgeous set up! Primo is the Simpson Super Badger worth the extra money?

 

Very nice set up and photo my friend.

 

Great picture JR! Hope the interview went well.

 

Thank you Mark.

 

Thank you Mark. I think it did, and should hopefully get confirmation later this week.

 

Welcome aboard!
