Sunday's Planned SOTD Razor: King Cobra\Triad Handle Blade: Kai Titan Mild (D1) Brush: Korn D7-XLT Shavemac 28mm 2band Bowl: Corbell Pedestal Bowl 4" Pre Shave Scrub: MRGLO Pre Shave Oil: AOS unscented Shave Cream: Penhaligon`s Sartorial Post: Monster Alum Block Aftershave: Penhaligon`s Sartorial Going with a few new items for tomorrow's shave and cant believe little old me with little resistance to new shaving toys actually sat on these items for some time. The Sartorial shave cream and aftershave were Christmas gifts from my brother in law and the Triad handle came in last week as did the Emerald Green/Pearlescent White D7-XLT Shavemac 2-band. Both of these items look better up close and personal than what the picture shows. Both of these artisans are masters in their trade and I am glad I have a couple of items in my den from both of them. Really looking forward to my Sunday morning shave.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE !!! SOTD 01/24/16 Rolls Viscount VDH Boar VDH Deluxe Cold Water Rinse Witch Hazel Stephan Bay Rum A/S So it's my second full shave with the Rolls I got darn close to BBS results with no irritation and no nicks, had to do a little touch up here and there but not too bad. Once you get used to the angle it's really an effortless shave and very smooth.So once again ILTS is a happy camper!!! HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY EVERYONE!!!
Sunday: Day 13 of my second round of blade testing Prep: Hot Shower, Nivea Moisturizing Face Wash Brush: Simpsons 56 Best Badger Lather: Ginger's Garden Lavender Herbal soap with clay and mango butter Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC Blade: Personna Red Israeli (1) Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (1, 2, 3) Post: Cold water rinse, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Ginger's Garden Lavender Herbal aftershave splash Cologne: Le 3e Homme de Caron by Caron I'm trying to keep an open mind, free of expectations, throughout these blade trials. That said, based on its reputation, the Personna Red Israeli was the one I was most anticipating trying out. As always, the Simpsons + the GG soap produced great, stable lather for the shave. The blade itself might be half a tick sharper than the Q-Ball, which made it feel just that tiniest bit less smooth; if memory serves, its sharpness compares to the Astra SP, but it is more comfortable on my skin than the Astra, which is not a blade I'm fond of. Nonetheless, it produced an effortless, comfortable 3-pass shave that left me very nearly BBS results.
You won't be disappointed buddy. Let us know how you like it ounce you do try it. Always great to support our in-house vendors too.
