    SOTD January 20, 2016

    Prep: Warm shower
    Blade: Rapira Stainless (2)
    Razor: Wet Shave Club 3-piece
    Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
    Lather: Proraso White shaving soap
    Post: Witch hazel splash, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Smooth shave today, CCS. I pushed down a little harder with the brush as I was loading the Proraso in combination with using a touch more water. The lather looked a little thin at first but worked itself out and became nice and thick and slick. The Satin Tip brush is quite soft which lends itself to a little more pressure while lathering.

    The Rapira blade does quite well for me. Overall a great shave!

    Good evening all, tonight's SOTD as follows;

    1940's Style NDC Gillette Super Speed.
    Polsilver Super Iridium blade.
    Omega Travel Brush. (Boar).
    Proraso Blue shaving cream.
    Proraso Blue post shave balm.
    Bulgari Extreme cologne.

    Tonight's shave was an excellent two pass DFS bordering on a BBS. These old NDC Super Speeds can hardly be beat. Here's the photo-

    Good morning TSD :)

    My shave today:

    - Stirling Preshave soap
    - RazoRock Mudder Focker
    - WD High Mountain Badger
    - Merkur Futur on 6
    - Feather (#2)
    - Tüff sensitiv/Jeris Musk

    Not the best shave today, maybe Futur on 6 in combination with Feather blades is not the brightest idea... :eek: No blood or anything, but the skin feels a little tense and irritated after the shave. And I think I did not create the best lather this morning ... might have been a little thin.

    The usual two passes WTG and A/XTG, a little bit of touchup at the right jawline. Face is completely BBS, the neck I'd rate DFS+

    Finished with cold water rinse, one splash of Tüff for the skincare and a splash of Jeris Musk for the scent (pretty pleasant actually).

    Either I'll change the blade tomorrow or I'll dial back to 4 :)

    I'm still impressed every time I use Fireside. The lather is the slickest I've used. Today's shave was smooth and easy all around. Der Futur provided a drama free DFS, and B&M Lavanille finished it up right.

    I usually dial down to 4 or so when I use a feather in the Futur. Voskhod works well at six for me.
