SOTD October 24, 2016 Blade: Chinese Schick Razor: Schick L1 injector Brush: Vulfix 2006c badger Lather: Stirling Barbershop Post: Witch hazel splash, Stirling Barbershop aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm WTG, touch-up Nice shave yet again! Stirling Barbershop lathered up really well with the Vulfix badger brush. As always it is slick and protective. One pass with touch-ups on the neck and jaw and I'm ready for the day. I'll continue the Stirling Barbershop through the end of this month. Have a great day!
Such an enjoyable, face-freezing shave which left me not only with a BBS face that still feels like an air conditioner is blowing cold air on it, but also with tearing eyes and a runny nose. (Love it!) The Glacial Wintergreen trio, my Plissoft synthetic, and my Junjie/Derby duo did the job beautifully and finally a little Arctique aftershave laid a lethal extra freeze on me!
SOTD October 24, 2016 Pre: Proraso white preshave cream Razor: IXL Geo. Wostenholm Brush: Omega boar Soap: Santa Maria del Fiore Post: Witch Hazel / Proraso green ASB This is my $5 razor that had a chip out of the toe that I repaired. Nice razor...smooth. Honed up nice.
Hubris I haven't used Feather blades in a long time, so I decided to test my technique. It felt great while I shaved, but after I rinsed, several weepers and some burn appeared on my neck. It took a double dose of B&M Reserve Cool to put out the fire. I get better shaves from the much cheaper voskhod blades. I think I'll stick with them. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Weber DLC razor Dorco ST-301 blade Omega 10066 boar brush Colgate Cup Soap Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe M&L Florida Water Cologne w/added menthol Today's shave ended up ok but the journey there wasn't all that great. Hadn't used a boar brush in eons and had trouble getting adequate lather. Guess I'm to used to synthetic brushes and how they work so very well for me. Anyway, a not so great lather and the Dorco blade proved to be a little rough and uncomfortable. I will give the Dorco another chance tomorrow but with different brush/soap and see what happens. Now go enjoy your day folks
Thank you for the kind words. I've seen others share their shower routine too, so I jumped in on that, but I may be the last remaining shower-sharer; appears that way, anyway.
