Very nice! I love the Vision scent. So crisp.

 

Saturday SOTD

Still using Arko and I think the Razorock El Jefe kind of counts as an adjustable (it slides front to back ever so slightly to technically adjust aggressiveness). 2.5 passes later and I'm smooth and ready to face the day! Enjoy the weekend.

Continued bombing around in my Chevette for April. I was focusing on how nice an automatic was in traffic. I totally blamed the clutch in my manual for traffic jams. And, none of that actually has anything to do with shaving.

Stirling for Him A/S



Don't know why, but I never cared for Astras. I couldn't figure it out because of their popularity. They always delivered a good shave and today was noexception. Finished up good as a GSB. Maybe the popularity had something to do with the demand for some of these Russian blades.

Roportedly, loaded caravans of these were making repeated deliveries into the Saint Louey area.


Yup, Stirling Fans Stirling for Him still wins over Dunshire. They are close. SfH is cleaner/fresher to me.

Be using one of my Sunday Shavers tomorrow, then test the duration of Astra for me.

Be well and shave free.

 

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Lord Super Chrome (2nd shave)
Brush: Maggard White & Blue Synthetic
Soap: WTF 1K
Post: CL Taum Sauk A/S


Managed a decent shave this evening. Am a big fan of the Wet The Face soaps and according to my records i have used Christmas Time more than any other soap in the den which is speaks volumes.

The scent of 1K is hard to describe and detect specific notes, it is sort of a sporty men's Cologne that has a lot of base notes. The scent really opens up once lathered compaired to sniffing the tub.


Performance of this soap is very good. This is the Sunflower Oil formula which so far has been my personal favorite from the WTF line, although you cant go wrong with any of them IMO performance wise. Finished things off with Taum Sauk as both scents while being different do work quite well together. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

4-5

Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
Blade: Lord Super Chrome (1st shave)
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
Soap: Country Club For Men- Cypress & Spice
Post: Stirling- Ozark Mountain Balm


This turned out to be one of the best shaves ive had in a while. First time with the Lord Super Chrome blade and it went well, although perhaps not my favorite of the Lord blades only time will tell.

Country Club For Men makes some top notch products and highly recommend any of their soap bases. Not positive which soap base this particular one is since the label has the vegan recipe but could have sworn this scent was the Greek Yougurt formula. Anways, this stuff whipped up a thick protective lather that provided as perfect a shave as one could ask for.

The scent of Cypress & spice is for my nose mostly a clean woodsy scent with some spice background. Paired well with Ozark Mountain which was icing on the cake. Very happy with the results!


Look at that crazy lather
