Decadent December!!!

December 8

Razor - Gillette New SC Deluxe
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Port-Au-Prince
Brush - Rooney Silvertip
Post - Alum

After a full day of running it was time to relax. Took my better half out to dinner for a Chinese buffet and came home to face the razors. Head shave tonight so I used my usual Merkur 23c with VDH soap and boar brush. Almost finished with the VDH soap and I'm not replacing it. It's a fine soap, but Arko works just as well and I have 10 sticks still untouched. No issues with the head shave so on to the main event.

I moved on to the New SC Deluxe and paired it with a Sharp Star. Another "detente" setup if ever there was one. The SC seems a bit more aggressive than the LC and I love the weight and balance of the razor. Mutton tallow night so Port-Au-Prince with the huge, gigantic, almost comically big Rooney Silvertip. I thought I hadn't loaded it enough when I started lathering but found that by using just the tips of the brush to lather with I was able to make soooooo much lather. I mean, seriously, three passes worth and I squeezed out two handfuls after that! Fantastic lathering tool and it feels awesome as it swallows half your face at a time. Finished the shave with no issues and quiet alum. A perfect ending to my week and I'm ready for a slow day tomorrow with just a couple of things on the to-do list. Hope your Sunday was great and have a great Monday!

A very interesting shave tonight on the more aggressive side of the Ikon SBS baseplate with a fresh personna platinum blade. A little more difficult under the nose considering it's thickness but overall very enjoyable - much smoother with the fresh blade . Happy shaves everyone.

Is that all you’ve got Creepy Santa, it’s not bloody scary enough against the wet shavers.

Menthol Monday's Shave​

Cold Water Rinse
Tea Tree Body Bar
Tom's 3D Printed Brush
Supply V2
Personna
CWR
Osage Rub

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tea Tree Body Bar face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Supply V2 razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
