Sunday Shave 08 Sep 2024



Sample Sterling Satsum Soap, Slim I4, Semogue brush, Schick Blade (2)

1 Days growth

Usual Prep and Preshave = Faulding’s shave cream
Cream/Soap = Sterling Satsuma
Brush = Semogue Owners club
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Gillette Slim I4 @ 5
Blade = Vintage Schick Ultra Platinium (2)
Passes = 2 +
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal
ASL = Fine Latigo, felt like something stronger today
Scent = Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud
Score = 9 / 10
Damage = No blood but the Alum was loud and clear

The Schick blade still felt smooth, but seemed more sharp today than in the 37C yesterday, combination of only one day growth and the Slim @5 I guess

Good overall result, very pleased

Hope you all had a great Sunday

 

Superb Barry, nice to see a different SE in your line-up, is the G type one of the smoother less aggressive ones?

That Oud looks very classy, and of course you can't go wrong with the Clubman Pinaud

 

Lol! quite a mouthful

Lovely family pic Joe

Yes I remember you saying that earlier, looking forward to seeing you bring it out again

 

Nice shot of that Latigo.

 

Back with the Proraso double-header of shaving foam and A.S.(Both "Refereshing). Very well-done. No cuts, one Knick, no Polka-dots. Even though it has a cool feel to it, I think I'll keep it year-round, as I don't have a "coarse" beard(which the red one helps)and it isn't sensitive(which the white one helps). But for the Knick, clean and clear all around. It's a great foam, One pass. The A.S. was a nice finish. Most Outstanding.

 

Thanks, its a fine product

One pass, that's cool.

 

I figure one is enough for foam/cream shaves.

 

Thank you,Chris. I have two Schick Injectors the G type and the I1. Out of the two the G type is the less aggressive . The Schick I1 Injector. 1955-58 fitted with Schick Japanese Twin blades make a wonderfully smooth combination.However, both wonderful vintage shaving tools, especially for head shaving. The Oud EdP pairs superbly with the Clubman pinaud.

 

Great Schick shave Barry. I will have to try the Personna Injector blades o e day.

 

Terrific shave Chris. Have you tried the Slim on setting 9 or is that too much aggressiveness for you?

 

I have both the I-1 and the G-3. Both razors are not aggressive, but I think my G-3 is a tad more aggressive. I could be wrong so I will have to do a comparison shave to see if I am right or wrong. Of course, I will have to use the same brand of Injector blades. Unfortunately, this experiment will not take place for some time because I have to use up the blades in those injectors.

 

Thank you, Joe. The Personna Injector blades are well worth trying out.

 

absolutely fabulous gentlemen.

Sept 8 SOTA

Straight Razor Shave # 573
ArtRazor 100 (37)
Hembree-Maggard Timberwolf Synthetic Brush
Lather Brothers Calle Ocho SS Sample
TSD Irish Spring AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 28 hrs



I haven't used Artie in months so he got the call this afternoon. Three passes for an error-free close and comfortable shave. In keeping with Samples September, I brought out the Lather Bros. Calle Ocho shave soap. I also picked out the TSD Irish Spring AS because it is compatible with the soap's scent. I think so anyway.
Thanks @JACarbone for piffing me this sample. The soap makes a creamy lather as you can see below:



I had minimal alum feedback. Finished the shave with the witch hazel and the aftershave. Take care.

 

cool shave with the cleaver Joe.

 

Very, very nice shave and setup Gary.

 

Thanks Gary. Max will be making an appearance later this week.
