SoS: February 15, 2016 - February 21, 2016

For Saturday I picked the type N injector with a Schick twin blade. Very smooth comfortable shave. The Orange creamsicle has a nice menthol chill! The weekend is off to a great start! Have a great day everyone!

 

Prep - Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette Slim Adjustable
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue
Brush - Vie-Long 04312 Cachurro Horse
Soap - Haslinger Coconut
After - Frozen towel / Brylcreem Adventure A/S
Result - Dolphin Smooth!

Another new soap and one I've been after for a while. Coconut is my favourite scent snd this soap is just that! I was slightly perplexed by the 60g puck, but after seeing how little is needed, it may last longer than a 120g tub of something else.
I received some A/S as part of a very generous PIF as I wanted try A/S for the first time since going DE. Pleasantly surprised by the result and it's a nice scent too. I fear I may be struck down by another AD! My face feels fantastic now.
Update - On my last shave with the Razor Master Uula soap. So far, this is the best post shave feel that I got from a soap, possibly only beaten by XPec cream.

 

February 20 SOTD:

Stirling Synthetic Brush

Frederick's Celebrated Razor
Stirling Unscented PSB

Here's what I am going with tomorrow... Would have used the Futur today but it arrived after I shaved. Look forward to using it in the A.M.

 

Just to be on the safe side....That pretty zebra purse in the background...that's the wife's.... not mine.

 

That's a killer setup. Enjoy your shave brother, will check your SOTD tomorrow.

 

Sure it is!

 

Nothing red.....poor photography skills most likely.

 

.....busted again.....

 

SOTD: Saturday, February 20
Proraso Sapone
CH2 Synthetic
Fat Boy (5)
Polsilver SI (2)
Proraso AS & Balm

Last shave in Mississippi until April.
I'll skip tomorrow, seeing that I have 800 miles to drive and, losing an hour, want to get out of here early.
However, today, I really dialed in the Proraso Sapone.
Whoever says they can't get a cushiony, delicious, protective, slick lather from this soap hasn't put in the effort.
Tonight's the final performance of Carmen and Monday...my entire shave den is mine again.
I will, as promised, titanic my way through the Proraso soap, AS & Balm---however
I get to choose a different brush, razor and blade, and that's enough for me.
Have a great day!​

 

Such a great razor/brush combo Primo.

 

Thank you my friend.

 

I can get cushion but no slickness. Hmmm any tips?

 

Buy this and add equal parts. Regret it, you will not!

 

I have the blue one that I just got a few weeks ago.. I will add it in..

 

You have become enlightened!

 

Lol I gues I'm the padawan here?

 

Hard to say. Maybe not enough H2O? I worked the lather on the face until the lather no longer dragged, (i.e. sticky) when it becomes smooth and silky, you should be good to go. I could even buff my chin with my FB set to 5.

 

I learn stuff everyday, but I do know that cremo works great for uber lather. I read it on here even before I joined and tried it and they were right!
