SoS: August 2022

Oleo Soapworks is the actual artisan who made this shave soap for Timeless Razor

 

Best is highly subjective, but it has been the only splash I have used for the last decade. It's a nice light bay rum with just the right amount of staying power for me.

 

Glad you are liking the Treet blades! I love them in my old types, but especially like to use them in my new short comb. Can't believe you got five shaves out of it.

 

That brush!

Greetings,

(Face & head Shave.) (Adjustable DE razor focus Week.)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....To finish the last week of the month off i'll be using my adjustable DE razors paired together with the Feather Hi Stainless.....Starting off with the very efficient Ming Shi 2000s..This razor alone has helped to improved my technique and shaving confidence multitude i never thought in a million years i would use such an efficient razor for a head shave...Practicing my technique has gave me the shaving confidence to do so.

The Ach Brito Mogno soap is a wonderful performer it gets top marks for it's performance scent, protection, slickness & post shave...Superb stuff!

An enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small squirts of Blue Stratos EdT to the chest & pulse points.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth and smelling divine.

Stay Safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend Ladies & Gentlemen.

Saturday morning:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 11
MSC Vintage Spice SS
Fino ASB
MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

The more I use this Vintage Spice soap and aftershave the more I love them. The scent as I keep saying is so gorgeous - it’s exactly the same as the discontinued Shulton Old Spice in every way imaginable. The soap’s tallow formula makes it so easy to lather, the lots of slickness, and the skincare is perfect. The Fino balm is so soothing and moisturizing, it’s unscented so it doesn’t interfere with any fragrance you use afterwards, and the Vintage Spice aftershave is witch hazel based so there’s no burning or stinging, and that beautiful Old Spice scent lasts all day. Three passes left me mega BBS - what a delightful shave!

Have a good weekend - be well and safe!

Supply Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shave Soap
Semogue Owners Club
Supply SE Injector
Supply Black Label Blade
CWR
Cella After Shave Balm

The Arko Shave Soap lathered well with Semogue Owners Club boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector injector razor with a Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I decided to do one more shave with the Hawk open comb. Blade is getting dull after 6 shaves and nicked me at corner of my mouth but, it stopped leaking on it's own. I had to work a bit harder to get the neck area below the jawline so, I got some feedback from the alum bar. I am binning this blade at 6 shaves. I will finish the month with another adjustable I have. I don't use this adjustable much because I like short handle and it is a long one. Heavy razor too. Vikings Blade "The Emperor". I can finish a Feather "Hi Stainless" blade at the same time. Blade now has 2 shaves on it.

But for today, it's the Hawk v3 open comb. It delivered a nice shave but, the blade is getting dull.

Razor - Hawk v3 open comb
Blade - Feather Professional (6th shave & binned)
Pre-shave - TOBS Herbal Gel
Soap - Santa Maria Del Fiore "Firenze" Sapone da Barba
Brush - Simpson T3 Trafalgar
Post shave - Thayers Toner with Witch Hazel & Aloe
AS - Pinaud Clubman "Virgin Island Bay Rum"

This soap has an odd smell to my nose. Almost a chemical smell. Lathers easy enuff and is slick enuff but, the smell is different to my nose. I didn't have to add any more water after I shook out the brush. I did have to whisk at it a bit longer too. I did tend to fling the lather around the bathroom while applying. LOL Pleasant 2-pass shave WTG & ATG with cleanup on my neck/jawline so, alum gave me a report that I did too many passes on neck! One weeper that stopped on it's own. I could feel it when it bit me! Corner of my mouth. Still not a bad shave. I have the open comb dialed in!

 

Other than catching my cheek with the point, the Wonderedge was a wonderful shave, super efficient and easy peasy

Hot water preparation
Argan Oil PSO
Romera Wengue Chubby Manchurian Badger
Baume.be Shaving Cream
Dubl Duck Wonderedge 5/8
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel



Happy shaving - Karl

 

I just got the Rose Petal Thayers and it is very nice! I have the Lavender on it's way as well.

 

Saturday Shave

Lather: Southern Witchcrafts Incorporeal soap
Brush: Made Rite
Razor: Supply SE injector
Blade: Supply black label
Post: Southern Witchcrafts Incorporeal splash
Cold water shave

The Southern Witchcrafts soap easily makes a good lather for me every time. This morning I loaded a fresh Supply black label blade into the injector and had a very comfortable and smooth shave. The Southern Witchcrafts splash left my face feeling great. Altogether an excellent shave with no drama!

 

The Lavender will be replacing my Rose soon as it’s almost empty. They last a loooong time

 

Hey Mike. That's a nice setup!
Incorporeal is on my list to try! My online supplier is out of stock and I'm loo0king for to being notified so I can order both the soap and splash.
