Remembrance Sunday SOTD



I’ve kindly been sent a Razorock Eco on a forum pass around and have also been sent some Bart’s Balms products to trial by the manufacturer, Bart.

Today was my third use of the razor and I continued with the Voskhod blade I used yesterday. The razor isn’t the smoothest razor I’ve ever used and I found my first shave with it (using a Shark blade) to be a little on the rough side. Using the Voskhod has improved this. However, this remains a pretty aggressive razor and it is not one I could use daily.

I used it for a head shave and this is where it’s aggressiveness and lack of smoothness was apparent. I ended up with a close, but rather uncomfortable, shave.

I stared the shave by trying some of Bart’s aftershave lotion (which consists of Coconut oil, Argan oil, Peppermint essential oil, and Limonene) and found the consistency to be a little too thin to work well as a pre-shave oil.

His beard oil, by comparison is an excellent pre-shave oil and is up there with the best on the market).

Following the shave I used Bart’s Peppermint balm on my face and the aftershave lotion on my head. The balm is another excellent product and the aftershave lotion worked really well on my head. I tried using the aftershave lotion on my face yesterday and it felt a bit too oily for my liking so I opted for the balm instead.

All in all, it was a pretty good shave and it was great to have the opportunity to try out these products on what is a very poignant day which bought back a number of memories.

One of these memories was that of my first ever wet shave as a 17 year old, which was performed whilst on exercise, using normal soap, a bic disposable razor, cold water in a mess tin and the wing mirror of a Land Rover.

‘They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them’.

November 10

Razor - Muhle R41
Blade -
Soap - Stirling Bonaparte
Brush - Omega 10060 BoS
Post - Alum

Say hello to one last reminder of summer and hello to the first blast of winter. Highs hit the upper 60s here today. Expecting snow and a low in the teens tomorrow. Who knows - we might even get a tornado in between. Just how it goes around here. Whatever the case it was a fun shave tonight. On to the Muhle 41 to put a little aggression in the shave and I chose the Laser Stainless blade. This is another Indian from Vidyut Metallics. Not the smoothest nor sharpest blade you'll find. A bit draggy even with the aggressive Muhle doing its thing. How bad is it? Not horrible, but three passes and some touch ups netted a near-BBS. Not perfect by any means. Still, you can't argue with that result.

The soap was Bonaparte with its Veg-like scent and attitude. Worked into a great lather with the small Omega, I would call the lather perfection. At least that went exactly as it should. A new week is almost here. Have a great start to your week!

fine shave Neal..

 

Movember Travel Sunday SOTN

We traveled to Pittsburgh to watch my Pittsburgh Steelers triumph over the LA Rams at Heinz Field. Beautiful defensive victory with a wonderful shave back at the hotel before bed. Gotta love the Palmolive shave stick. Good night all.
