Gebr. Becker 5/8
CWR
Lilac Vegetal

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #437 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gebr. Becker 5/8 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tatara Razors Masamune OC / Perma-Sharp Super / Rubberset 200-4 26mm Boar / OSP Neroli Shaving Soap & Aftershave​

 

Saturday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 10
Biolijf Huntsman SS
Aloe Vesta Moisturizer
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

These Biolijf soaps are from the Netherlands and I think they’re great. I believe they’re vegan based and they give awesome performance - this Huntsman is listed as unscented but it actually has a pleasant clean, soapy smell, it lathers like a dream, and it’s very gentle on my sensitive skin. The Aloe Vesta moisturizer has absolutely NO scent whatsoever and it gives such wonderful soothing. Last but not least the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m all set. Three swift passes gave me a cracking good BBS shave that was so pleasurable!

Enjoy your weekend - be well and stay safe!

Proraso Green
1960 Tech on Maggard MR7 handle
Bolzano Superinox (1)
Mennen Skin Bracer

This was my first ever use of Proraso, having decided on Arko early on. It was exceptionally good - easier to lather, and the quality of lather was excellent, on par or better with Arko. The smell, however... as much as people bash Arko's citronella smell, I think Proraso's is far less attractive - it just smells like cheap soap. Luckily, the lather doesn't carry it. Overall, a very good first impression.

This was also my 2nd use of German Bolzano since I bought it as a part of a sample pack back in the early 2019. The first Bolzano I used would give me unexpected cuts, so I tossed the rest of the tuck and didn't return to it until now. This time, it was an uneventful shave.

DE SOTD, Saturday. April 27th 2024

Razor : Razorock Game Changer.84 316 SSP with a RR Radio button handle. Mfg 2018>, tame mid range. Well made from 316 SSP with excellent machining and finish QC. I have been using the RR GC.84 razor for 6 years and I seem to like using a Kai SS extra wide blade for a little more blade feel. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Kai SS (2) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. Nice blade for folks who enjoy a little extra blade feel.
Soap : Razorock "The Dead Sea" croap, nice unique scented soap with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Razorock Plissoft 24mm knot. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. 1st decent brush I owned 7 years ago, Razorock made a big contribution when they offered the Plissoft to thousands of brush buyers 8 or 9 years ago(game changer in synthetic brushes IMO).
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock The Dead Sea splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Razorock GC.84 with a Kai SS extra wide blade.

Have some great shaves!

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The Yintal 9306-I. TTO (super-speed clone) is an incredibly good razor has a nice heft to it, and like my other Chinese super-speed clone the Baili BD177 Rose Gold TTO, has provided me with comfortable acceptable irritation-free shaves with each outing. What more can I ask for.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Wilko Men's ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

 

Hi Friends,

Here my Sunday Shave (28.04.2024)


Pre: PAA Cube // Razor: RazoRock Lupo .95 // Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra // Soap: Mike ´s Lime // Brush: RazoRock Disruptor // Aftershave: Alum - Thayers WH - Antiga Barbearia de Bairro

A really wonderful 2-pass shave. Really enjoyable. The Lupo was smooth and gentle, very thoroughly. Mike ´s Lime…wow…a really natural Lime scent. Lather is top notch. The Aftershave matched awesome with the scent of the soap.

10 out of 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
