SoS: November 2018

Friday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Goodfella/Astra Green day 6
Cella SS
Arko AS Gel
Eau Sauvage EdT

It's been too long that I haven't used the Cella. It's so nice - a lovely, classy scent with great lather and plenty of skincare. The Arko Aqua gel smells so nice, it gives good cooling as well as lots of soothing. BBS as BBS could be!

 

Famex/Pakistani Treet Platinum

November 2

Gillette Z-3 Super Speed
Voskhod (2)
Kent BK8 Silvertip
Le Père Lucien - unscented
Alum, Thayers Lavender witch hazel, Trumper Coral Skin Food, and unrefined shea butter

I really enjoy the SS loaded with a Voskhod blade and paired with the BK8 brush. I have mountains of lather, and the shaves are wonderfully smooth and easy. After two passes, I'm near BBS with not even a hint of irritation.

 

I will just have to make sure I am no where near one and then hopefully that issue will never arise!

Seriously though....even on short breaks.....I always make sure I have a choice

 

Hybrid Razorock Game Changer .84 P on Jürgen Hempel Ti Handle / Treet Platinum Super Stainless / Grizzly Bay To The Bone w/ GN Mtn Badger knot / Wholly Kaw King of Oud

Stoked I landed this brush, my first GB, had to treat it to a worthy knot, such a great fusion of retro color and modern shape, subdued but complex.

 

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Maseto 24mm ST
Soap: MWF
Razor: Muhle R41 (2013)
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Quorum ASL

Now that OCtober is over, I felt it was safe to use the R41.
Okay, it's Zamak, overpriced and claims to be something it isn't, but it gives very good shaves and so, all is forgiven.
The Fat, it's underpriced, weakly scented and a few LOUDLY say it lathers poorly,
I can live with the weak scent, my pocket enjoys the price and my skin loves the lather.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Shave from Tuesday night with the Herder.



Stirling Piacenza
JR168 tuxedo synthetic

Last night's shave



D R Harris Arlington soap
Simpson 58 Best Badger
Geo. Wostenholm and Son Pipe Razor
A little alum

Both razors needed a touch up on the edge. Been a little while since I'd had a straight shave.

The Naniwa 12k has definitely returned the keen-ness to the Wosty - will have to do the Herder this weekend.
