Saturday morning:

Wilkinson Sword/Shark day 11
Williams Menthol SC
Prep ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

I was in a bit of a rush this morning so I grabbed the Williams Menthol cream because it was the first thing in front of me and to be honest I’m happy I did. It has a very nice scent which I find hard to describe, it’s so easy to lather, the menthol sensation is at a good middle of the road level - definitely stronger than Proraso Green, and the skincare is pretty good. The Prep and the Alt Innsbruck aftershave finished things off very well. Two passes resulted in an awesome BBS shave!

Enjoy your weekend - be well and safe!

SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 2022

I’d like to thank John (@Screwtape) for his review of the new SE plate from Supply razor. It’s a truly remarkable development, and delivers every bit as close a shave as my favorite three dot plate. It paired perfectly with my old V2 handle and just knocked things out of the park noggin shave-wise.

Two passes and the dome was as smooth as it’s possible to get it. I don’t say this lightly, but it’s shave is every bit as good as my Shake Sharps or Speed Razors. And I agree that it’s seemingly impossible to nick oneself, just like my Shake Sharps, only with an injector blade as opposed to a DE blade. It’s a new paradigm in single blade shaving.

This was a morning of superb shaving tools. Victor Creazzi’s SanMai pattern-welded Damascus ‘Fancy’ straight razors not only shave magnificently, but are also beautifully crafted. Victor likes to name his ‘Fancy’ straight razors, and this one’s name is “Bone Mosaic”. The razor is perfectly balanced and delivered a wonderful three pass shave that topped off the morning leaving me smooth from neck to noggin.

RAZOR: Victor Creazzi’s “Bone Mosaic” 7/8 (Mug), Supply V2 w/ SE Plate (Dome)

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The Chinese Ying jili 8306L" 7'0clock Stirling tech copy " is one of two that was passed on to me by a work mate.

The razor is very light in weight due to the plastic handle ,but hey! what do you expect considering that most razors are overly mass-produced and the price which in my case both razors cost me 'zilch',i shouldn't gripe!.
I have tried pairing the razor head up with a heavier handle which made it feel noticeably more solid when shaving. Nonetheless with or without the heavier handle it gives a good acceptable shave without any safety issues....An ideal travel razor.

Another enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling 'BRUT' divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, FATHER’S DAY, JUNE 19, 2022

Happy Juneteenth Father’s Day to all my shave brothers and sisters out there. The clan is coming over to swim and celebrate the holiday with the bride and me. As many know I rarely repeat my shaving tools on consecutive days, but I just really needed to know whether my fabulous noggin shave yesterday with the Supply V2 Injector handle fitted with the new SE plate was a fluke. Keeping everything the same, including the use of the same Schick Injector II blade, I’ve determined that it definitely wasn’t a fluke! After two sublime, remarkably comfortable, ATG passes my dome was as smooth as it gets! I’m sold on this new plate, which shaved my dome every bit as close and smooth as I would ever wish, for the second day in a row.

Victor Creazzi builds awesome straight razors, as testified by my great shave yesterday with the first of his ‘Fancy’ grade razors, “Bone Mosaic” that I acquired from him over a year or so ago. The shaves it delivers have always been buttery smooth. I really enjoy shaving with short bladed straight razors, but only have one that is 7/8, and that’s the second ‘Fancy’ grade Creazzi straight razor I own, appropriately named “Shorty”. This razor taught me to routinely blunt the points on my square toed straights, as my first stroke with it rewarded me with a beautiful inch long racing stripe. Vic, as my example attests, ships his razors with a beautifully sharp edge. I’m velveteen smooth from noggin to neck.

RAZOR: Victor Creazzi’s “Shorty” 7/8 (Mug), Supply V2 w/ SE Plate (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Injector II (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Simpson Chubby 3 Sovereign Fibre
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme AS Balm.
