    Greetings,

    A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

    The Derby soap bowl provides a wonderful dense slick protective lather, which is equal to the shave stick if not better for it's lather density IMHO.

    Easter Sunday Morning 20/04/25


    • Razor : Above The Tie SSRH SS (USA)
    • Blade : Feather Hi-Stainless (1).
    • Brush : Troy Craft custom made (Brush Of Memories).
    • Soap : Barrister And Man - Barrister's Reserve Spice.
    • Aftershave : Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum & Sweet Orange.
    • Razor Weight : 114 grams.
    Hi all,
    I had a brilliant Easter shave today with the Above The Tie SSRH. I believe this razor was made prior to the buyout by blacklands razors.
    I have used this razor on at least four occasions now every time it gives me a very efficient and close shave
    definitely not in the mild shaver category in my opinion.
    I found it worked very well when combined with the feather high stainless blade.
    The barista and man soap lathered very well with good cushioning and a great on the face feel.
    The shave was finished off very nicely with Ogallala bay rum and sweet orange aftershave'
    1 pass WTG/ATG Done no touch ups or buffing.
    Cheers.

    PS Don’t eat too much chocolate it can come back to haunt you the next day.
    :)

    For me it's the best Synthetic I have, very easy to lather even my T2 is the same but I prefer the T3.

    Thank you Stuart!

    I'm revisiting the T3 after using my original daily for about 18 months. It was replaced by Simpson and I gifted the new one to one of my sons.
    I've used many brushes since and I'm glad I decided to pick another one up for myself!

    Prep: Hot towel
    Razor: RazoRock GOAT
    Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome
    Brush: Simpsons Chubby 3 Manchurian
    Soap: Tallow + Steel: Morocco/Maya
    Post: Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
    Fragrance: Danger Pour Homme Parfum Cologne
    an extremely satisfying shave today.. the Personna is a blade that I want to love because it really does give a great shave, but I find that it can be a bit 'tuggy' on my salt and pepper stubble.. still might try it with the Weber though, as I don't really want to give up on it.


    Shaving.. to be enjoyed, not endured.

    Shave of the Day for 4/21/2025

    I found the Henson +++ harsh and uncomfortable today. The shave ended up ok just not happy with it overall.
