SoS: February 23, 2015 - March 1, 2015

Shave of the day

Pre- Hot shower, Bulldog Original face wash, Sandalwood bar soap

Soap/cream- Seifenglatt Neroli shaving soap

Brush- Semogue 1470 boar
Hero of the day: Whipped dog 24mm silvertip

Razor- Gillette Slim adjustable(5)

Blade- Astra SP

Post- Cold water rinse, Pinaud Clubman Original aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive aftershave balm with 1 drop of M-Bomb.

Started lathering with my Semogue I only got mediocre lather. I tried to shave anyway but I stopped in the middle of the pass because It was not a protective lather. I picked up my Whipped dog silvertip and tried again. And wow, the lather just exploded. What a difference!

Nevertheless I still got some irritation. And Pinaud Clubman wasn't shy of telling me =P

The results was an Okey shave. Pretty close. I don't know if it's because of the lather or because I haven't used the slim for a while. Or if my face was raw from the Semogue. We'll see next time =)

One drop of M-Bomb is enough for a nice cooling sensation. It was a GOOD finish!



I need to break in this brush a little more, I'm not happy with it so far. Any tips, more than using it? Because when I use it, it's to scritchy.

 

Razor. .. Gillette fat boy
Blade... Gillette silver blue
Brush... restored rubberset with tgn 2band finest 24mm
Soap... razorock king Louis lavender

 

Tabac Blast!
I combined Tabac soap and Tabac cream to make amazing lather and a superb shave. After washing my face I applied the cream as a pre shave in a thin layer. I then loaded the silvertip with soap and face lathered. It was best on the first pass, but the shave was optimal nonetheless. Krampert's Bay Rum is an excellent partner for Tabac.

Brush: Omega 10066
Razor: Gillette New LC

I know but its frustrating because I couldn't shave with the lather it generated

 

I think Kerry was suggesting that you take it to a hospital or something?

 

Saturday:
hot shower w/London Eucalyptus Aloe bar soap
Homemade PSO
StickSchick 2 passes
Personna Platinum Chrome (2)
Semogue 1305 boar
Gold Dachs Sport soap in a warm mug
Thayers unscented w/aloe
Arko Aqua AS gel

I didn't have time to shave yesterday but I was inspired by @gwsmallwood and his suggestion that we incorporate a racing theme. I haven't bought a NASCAR model in quite a few years so the cars pictured aren't current.
I had a lot of stubble today but my StickSchick didn't have any trouble mowing it down as I worked through the gears and the Gold Dachs soap provided plenty of cushiony glide both in the corners and down the straightaway.
I wanna thank all my sponsors; Schick, Personna, Semogue, Gold Dachs, Thayers, and Arko, for giving me the opportunity to shave with them today and I also wanna thank all you guys in my shave den crew for cheering me on. It was a good shave right from the start and when I made that final turn to cross the finish line my face was as smooth as an oil slick.

today's shave
hot water wash with nivea men's
Parker pure badger
barbershop tallow soap
Pyrate' cove lavender
Gillette slim(g4)(7)
persona lab(2)
ICED Aqua Velva ice blue
today's shave was a bit of work. I felt obliged to use a razor, soap, mug,a friend bought for me. all items were cleaned yesterday and ready for service today. the barbershop soap made alot of foamy suds. I gave it one shot, but not rich enough for my liking. I pulled the Pyrate' cove out to stand in. four passes with the new slim left me very smooth, but a little irritated. idk if it's the extra pass or the lavender(haven't been a great fan). finished with ICED ice blue.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

looks very handy. I bet the length make it easy to use.
