    Hi Friends,

    Here my Sunday Shave (07.05.2023)

    CD67B030-0F90-41C7-9DD2-EAB7DD529AC1.jpeg
    Preshave: PAA Cube // Razor: RazoRock Lupo .95 SS // Blade: Treet Carbon // Soap: Tabac (old Formular) // Brush: Shavemac Synthetic // Aftershave: Tabac AS Fluid

    First shave ever with a Treet Carbon blade. Not the sharpest, not the smoothest blade, but thoroughly and gentle enough to get a 2,5 pass (plus minor touch-ups) to get nearly BBS. The rest…Tabac…love it or hate it. I love it.

    Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten

    Keeping it really simple in today’s #SOTD. I suppose you could call it a drugstore shave. I pulled out a fresh Bic Metal. Brush is Perfecto badger. I face lathered today. Post shave was Pinaud Clubman Vanilla, followed up with Afta Fresh balm. Pretty comfortable shave. My experience with the Bic Metal has been very positive and it leads me to wonder if I would do better with an injector or a single edge razor like the Razorock Hawk instead of a DE.

    Razor: 1955 Gillette Super Speed Blue Tip
    Blade: Gillette Nacet (2)
    Post shave: Gillette Gel
    After being away on a Caribbean cruse for 10 days, I returned to find my 1955 Gillette Blue Tip in the mail that I'd ordered a couple of weeks ago. Today was its maiden voyage in my shave den. A wonderful, mild razor.

    Soap : Gillette Pure Cream, nice sweet clean scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "black marble" 24mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Nivea freshness splash + a dollop of Nivea Sensitive balm.
    Results : 1-10 dial - Copy (2)2 template 10.jpg or CS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm with a coated Schick proline 50mm p30 blade.
