Pears Glycerine Soap
Clubman Shave Butter (preshave)
Mickey Lee Soapworks Panty Dropper Soap
Simfix Synthetic Brush
Ever-Ready 1924 Razor on an Ikon Tuckaway Handle
GEM SS Blade
Alum and Rinse
Simple Facial Toner
Palmer's for Men Moisturiser
Al-Rehab Dakar EDP

As a nod to St Valentine.....I just HAD to use the MLS Panty Dropper!

The 1924 is a razor I have had for some time but with very little use as the Original travel handle was just too short and slippery. Yesterday's arrival of some 2BA 3/8 grub screws has allowed me to do something about it. The extra heft and grip of the Ikon Tuckaway has transformed the razor.Shaves now approach those obtained by my Streamline...it is a joy to use! The shave passed the Alum test and my face is absolutely Bowling Ball Smooth

Seygus "Zeppelin" V.2 (gap 0.9 mm).

Seygus Zeppelin - gap usage:
0.7 mm - 2
0.9 mm - 2

This is the last time I use the Zeppelin with 0.9 mm gap - it is just a bit too aggressive for me.
For me the 0.7 mm gap is just right.

Tabac Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #353
Damaskeene 1912
Gem Blue Star SE
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #353 Badger/Boar brush. I did two passes with the Damaskeene 1912 razor with a Gem Blue Star SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Decided to switch up my razor today
Used my new flare tip, super nice shave. 3 pass on my cheeks to a bbs finish, 2 pass dfs on my neck with only a quick burn from the alum. This razor has a lot more blade feel compared to my teck, going to go back to my focus after this blade.

Have a great day!​

 

Thursday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/new 7 AM
Gilly’s Nature Boy SS
Every Man Jack Face Lotion
Acqua di Selva Cologne

A fabulous and very comfortable BBS shave thanks to the new 7 AM blade in my Super Speed. This Nature Boy from Gilly Soaps in South Africa has such a lovely scent - it’s a mix of chamomile and spearmint so it’s not only relaxing, it’s also refreshing. The lather works up so easily and it leaves a great postshave feeling. The Every Man Jack lotion is good but I don’t really care for the scent.

Happy Valentines Day!
