Thursday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Rapira day 4
Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
B&M Arctique AS Splash
Bulgari Blu Notte EdT

If this setup doesn't freeze a man's face off, nothing will!

Yet another great brush. I searched around for one like that months ago and never found one that had the black 'fire' effect. That brush would pair incredibly well if I were to build a Dior Fahrenheit inspired shave kit (which I have considered, but ultimately decided not to build).

If you can't get a Declaration, there is a vendor on Etsy that is doing very similar handles....

Good point Tim.

First use of the famous Mitchell's Wool Fat... and it was a great debut indeed. Not hard to lather as I was led to believe by some comments online and a great performance giving a very slick and protective surface to the Silverhawk/Feather combo to mow down the whiskers. Superb shave in the end.

Thank you, Douglas and Perry These G models are my favorite Schicks

Many seem to like them.

Thursday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
VDH Deluxe Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #18
Gillette Aristocrat
Gillette Super Stainless, “The Spoiler”
CWR
Thayer's Peach WH
Pinaud Vanilla

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The VDH Deluxe Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 Badger brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette Aristocrat with a Gillette Super Stainless blade ("The Spoiler" R3, 1971) and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Hi friends,
Wonderful SOTD!
I haven't used MdC in a very long time, maybe 1 year? It's expensive, but this is that one soap that's worth it. Fantastic lather, excellent post shave.
I loaded the Ti Baby Smooth with a Polsilver and went for it, superb results. I'm going to buy another 100 of these blades, I like them that much.
Finished with Thayer's Cucumber, good stuff..
RazoRock Acqua aftershave and EdT work well with any soap.

Good picture, nice bowl, stunning brush.

The third shave with the Rocnel SE-G and my last. Perhaps the best shave with it of the three. Used a GEM SS PTFE 11 times used blade and it was still smooth as silk. Not much stubble from yesterdays amazing shave with the Cobra, but enough to get a comfortable 2 pass shave to restore a near BBS feel. The Rocnel is a great GEM razor and used with a light touch and care can match any top tier razor shave for shave. Finished it off with some Old School Aqua Velva Musk and a great, refreshing shave. Have a great evening and shaves Gents....

Razor: Rocnel SE-G
Blade: GEM SS PTFE #12
Brush: Semogue #1305 Boar
Soap/Cream: Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia Concentrada
Astringent: DG/Body
Toner: Manetti & Roberts Rose Water

Shovelhead. I experimented with skipping the WTG pass and going straight to the ATG pass on the back of my head, and this seemed to work well enough. Nice shave, I much prefer the 1924 to the '12 at least for my head shave.
