Razor – Mongoose B2 with Jürgen Hempel Ti
Blade – Feather Pro (7)
Brush – Rubberset 400-3 with WSP HMW
Lather – Strop Shoppe Baker Street
Post - Witch Hazel and Dove AS Balm



Fantastic 2 pass shave this morning. First pass ATG followed by XTG with just a small bit of cleanup. Certainly one of my better shaves. The Rubberset whipped up enough lather for 4 or 5 passes. Have a great Friday and a better weekend.

Half the fun of your pics is figuring out where your kit traveled to. Love 'em all. Does your razor have a passport?

Special SOTD today for my first concert with my girlfriend so I decided to keep it somewhat classy lol.

Prep: hot shower with face wash

Pre-Shave: Art of Shaving sandalwood pre shave oil

Razor: VDH safety razor

Blade: Gillette Silver Blue

Brush: VDH badger hair

Lather: Art of Shaving sandalwood cream

Post Shave: Cold water, Razorock alum stick and Art of Shaving sandalwood after shave balm

 

It's been so long since I've done a SOTD.
Prep: Stirling Oat & Honey bath soap
Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Voskhod(1)
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Speick Shave Stick
Aftershave: Fine Platinum

 

Seeing a few Executive Man's in this thread- how do you all like it? Looking to pick some up but curious how it compared to Aventus or Fine Platinum (if you have tried either)

 

As I don't often shave on the weekends today marked the last day of my weeklong usage of the Tradere.
I will truly miss it and I it's the first razor that have caused me to second-guess my plan to use different razors each week this year - as it will be a long time until I get to pick it up again...

Razor: Tradere OC, 2nd Gen
Blade: Personna
Brush: L'Occitane Plisson
Soap: Soap Commander Endurance
A/S: Anherb (which I have come to love)

 

10 Apr 2015
Soap- MdC scented
Brush - Plisson Synthetic
Razor - Rockwell 6S
Blade - Ladas (3)
AS - Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

No photo, early travel day. No shave yesterday. Today's shave DFS...tomorrow will be the travel kit for the first time.

 

Good stuff!

Cold water/alum
Captain's Choice North

Just another superb shave from Sir Muhle. Two passes and a glass smooth finish… delightful.

 

Wife reminded me we're invited to dinner out, so I needed a quick one.

•DG Trac II on a generic brass handle
•VDH in teak mug with Omega brush

2 pass efficiency followed up with my homebrew alum/menthol/Hazel mix, then some 1969 Avon Steel cologne (it'll fade to nothing before we get there).

And a good shave was had by all. Or by me, at least.

 

Maiden voyage for this Omega boar (my first Omega!) & very pleased. Lathered up the Cade quite nicely - I probably would have been able to go for about 14 passes if I had the time.

Razor.. Gillette ball end tech
Blade.. Israeli personna platinum
Brush.. seafoam b&b essential boar
Soap.. mystic waters lime

 

SOTD 4-10-15

Razor: ATT M1 with Bulldog handle
Blade: Platinum Lux (new)
Soap: Arko stick
Bowl: Shaveworks (used to pre-soak brush)
Brush: VDH Boar

Preshave was just face wash with warm water and post shave was rinse with warm water then some cold water splashes and pat dry!

Shave was great, a DFS with one small nick but no irritation.

Razor: Decided to go with the M1 plate today and it worked just fine! No complaints at all! It is mild for me so I use a little more pressure in the tougher areas, which might be why I got the one small nick I did get!

Blade: I like this blade alot. I like it just as much as my Astra SP.

Soap: This is my go-to soap. This Arko just works amazingly well with not to much effort and gives great lather and protection during passes. All you have to do is rub stick on your damp/moistened face then grab the brush and face lather it. Repeat for each pass as needed, so simple but so good!

Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out!

Thx.
