SOTD: Vintage Sheffield 7/8" wedge from Marshes & Shepherd 'Pond Works' (1828-1849); Martin de Candre 'Fougére' soap, custom boar brush and Fine 'Snake Bite.' Heavy slab for a blade, but a truly comfortable shaver! Have a great Saturday, gents!

PAA Bakelite Slant with a vintage Wilkinson. Once I figured out the somewhat awkward shallow angle to adopt on the head shave this worked out pretty well, though touch up with the Shake Sharp still smoothed things out considerably. Beard was a beautiful no drama BBS.

Sunday's action:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Monster
Super Speed Astra day 7
Stirling Black Ice SS
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
Reef Point Fougere Santal AS Splash

The Black Ice is the mini version of the Glacial Obsidian and it's a terrific soap with a very similar anise scent, wonderful lather, and still quite cold. Great skincare as well like all of Rod's products. The Lucky Tiger balm and this Reef Point aftershave are magnificent!

 

Today's shave
Hot water wash with Nivea men's face wash and a washcloth
@Jayaruh ole#7/ whipped dog silvertip
Bombed Soap Commander Endurance
Parker Variant (3.5)
Persona Crystal (4)
Iced Lustray Blue Spice
Today's shave was nice. Pretty much prefect. Great feeling brush, nice cool slick cushiony lather. Three passes with a great razor and still sharp blade. Finished with iced blue spice. I'm smooth as silk and smelling nice.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

i know!!! i did not get the original blades, but stroned???

 

wow, that gem junior is mint.. love the fat handles

 

Burley !!!! i have 2 almost full a.s. bottles. i need the cologne.... Burley just rules...

 

Now here you go showing off hot vintage gear after having supped up modern accoutrements. I haven't even tried an Alum Block yet for post shave. Another fantastic setup and no doubt an epic shaving experience overall to use.
