SOTD 6-21-15




razor: maggard 18c
blade: perma sharp
brush: Omega s synthetic
soap: Porasso Sandalwood
post: Soap Commander Resolution balm
scent: CVS brand Aqua Velva



Decided to shave today since it is fathers day and im going to be around my family even though I shaved yesterday. I usually don't shave daily but I will if I feel I need to. the Porasso's earthy scent is something that is starting to grow on me. I didn't care for it at first but once it is lathered it is nice. 3 pass DFS. I did get a little bit of irritation on my jawline. the balm is pretty concentrated. a little bit is all that is needed. has a nice menthol kick and a great scent. Have a great shave everyone!!

Brush: Semogue 1305 Boar Tri Colored Wood Handle.
Soap: TSD Coconut
Mug: Soak my brush in the Old Spice coffee mug for about a minute.

Still not happy with this brush. To me it seems inconsistent with different soaps. Life goes on and nobody is shooting at me so live is good. Or are they?
Happy Father's Day to all Fathers. Excellent BBQ with my family today, and that's all that matters.

 

I'm not the only one! Yes! Thank you! I thought I was going nuts. I'm not a big fan of the Semogue 1305, I agree inconsistent.

 

Clint, outstanding setup!

 

Thank you.

 

Looks great Clint.

 

Thanks Doug, I am admiring your Aristocrat. Great looking razor.

 

A great shave also. Thanks.

 

I had a great day today playing with my kids and spending time with my family in general. I have been working so much lately, it was great to just spend time with everyone. I didn't shave until late this evening and used my father's day gift from my family courtesy of @gssixgun. It is a beautiful razor and provided great two pass shave needing only a little touch up with the DE due to my lack of skill.

 

Nice blade. Great picture.

 

Sunday the 21st

Just got back home after an 11 hour drive back from emerald isle NC. Was a long drive but I went to Publix with the wife and picked up some pacific shaving co. Shave cream while I was there. This cream has a very light spearmint gum scent and is supposed to be cafinated. Overall it made for a nice shave but I feel I has to use more product to get the same amount of lather as other soaps/creams I've used. Still enjoying my new black super adjustable.

Yet Another RazorGuy Shave!​

I am continuing testing my shaving soap which I like more and more at each single shave. I am still thinking I should change something in this recipe, but I am however very happy with the amazing and incredible performance of this soap. Also the pre-shave and after shave are part of my homemade production and this time I wanted to use my Bay Rum, as it was quite a long time I did not use it in favor of the fresher Thyrrenus. This time I used a vintage straight razor: a gorgeous Wostenholm "pipe razor", one of my favorite vintage razors, smooth and velvety, I could not be wrong. For this shave I also wanted an icing on the cake and used my father's very old Omega bristle brush 47: although it is about 40 years old, it is one of the finest, softest, super performing and very best shave brushes I have in my shave den.​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: RazorGuy Shaving Soap
• Brush: My Father's Omega 47
• Bowl: Chinese Cheap Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: George Wostenholm & Sons Pipe Razor, 11/16 Half Hollow, Square Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Argan Oil
• After Shave: RazorGuy Bay Rum

today's shave was nice. Parker did a fine job with the modified endurance. three passes with the slim, very nice shave. finished with red label. brings up memory of my dad, these days he likes nivea. when I was little, he always used old spice.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

Prep: Hot Shower. Axe Shield Face Wash
Razor: RazoRock Baby Smooth
Blade: Personna Lab Blue
Brush: Semogue 1305
Lather: Dapper Dragon Unscented
Post: Alum. Thayers Cucumber WH. Gold Bond Ultimate
Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Black Powder
I overslept this morning! Very unusual for me. I must admit this DD soap is much better than what I used a couple of years ago! Very good soap. Im really enjoying the baby smooth, I believe Mark said that you don't even feel the blade, it's true. F&C Black Powder my daughter says smells like the mall. That's a good thing! Gold Bond is simply fantastic.
A better tomorrow. Takes your best today!
