Tues 25th Oct RazoRock Plissoft 24mm Speick Active soap Ever Ready/Gem P. Button Gem S/S [ 6 ] Tuff Green A/S lotion Despite the blade being on its 6th outing , I was able to achieve a really smooth,comfortable and relatively close all round shave. I think one of the key factors in achieving this was the superb lather afforded by the soap.
James Bond shave.....russian str8 and brush from Savile Row......You got the right guy to get this one shave ready...Congrats! Don't you just love it when a plan comes together....}8^))
Weber DLC razor Dorco ST-301 blade Shave Revolution Evo brush TSD Lemongrass SS w/2x menthol Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe TSD Lemongrass A/S w/2x menthol My eyes are watering cuz this shave was really really cold. Oh my word cold. And I liked it! But I didn't like the Dorco blade. I remember now why they were sitting where they were, way in the back. And that's where they are going again. As yesterday, the shave ended up ok but didn't like the journey with the Dorco. Oh well, live and learn. Now go enjoy your day folks.
SOTD October 25, 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 Really nice shave with Stirling Barbershop soap. The Schick L1 felt really smooth today. I had great lather and the post shave feel is top-notch. Not much else to say! Great shave with terrific products. Have a great day!
How does the Speick soap compare to the Speick cream? I have the cream but want to try the soap at some point. I love the scent.
Monday was an off day since Sunday's shave was a BBS shave. Tuesday's SOTD............... True Gentlemen shave cream face lathered w/Duke 2 Best English NDC Ball Tech paired w/7 o'clock Sharp Edge blade Witch hazel, followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing w/Floid Vigoroso aftershave 2-passes for a fantastic DFS!!
Guys, I changed my shaving item at the last minute so instead of freezing my face off with the Glacial Lemon Chill soap and witch hazel, I went with much lighter menthol from this Vi John Menthol cream from India. Great lather, smells a little like incense, and quite skin-friendly. My aftershave of choice today was Alt Innsbruck - really cold stuff and smells awesome. A pretty good shave albeit a bit too fast.
I have a Speick shave stick that is outstanding. Great cushion, slickness, scent and protection. Highly recommended.................

I am a James Bond fan and knew of the Russian straight connection but it must have been the subconscious at work with the brush selection. I may have to repeat this shave tomorrow. Too funny.
