SOTD

 

Clubman Wild Herbal????? Time for me to do some RESEARCH.

 

I, too, can recommend the Vanilla. @SHAVEWIZARD420 is right-on. Sweet but in a good way.

 

good meaning "masculine"?

 

I couldn't find anything.....

 

but the A.S. is in your post. I'm confused.

 

Wednesday's


TESC Pre-Shave Oil
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #49 Boar
Pal Adjustable
Schick Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #49 boar brush. Two passes with my Pal Adjustable razor and a Schick Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I just got the Blackbird and I tend to test drive new razors for a bit, I love shaving with my SS! Great shaver. I never have swapped a blade into a different razor, I use a blade twice and bin it. Today's blade was done after 1 shave..

 

SOTD March 01/2016 (snow storm theme) See smaller picture. Shot this evening.

Razor - 1949 Aristocrat Jr.
Brush - Muhle XL synthetic
Soap - Proraso sensitive
Post - Thayers W.H.\TBS Cocoa stick
Bowl - Tinned copper Turkish

Shot on large mirror reflecting ceiling.

Great shave with the Aristocrat Jr. Few passes needed to achieve BBS yet not harsh. Maybe the added weight of the razor. This thing feels like it has torque as opposed to HP. Different feel from other SS or rockets. Maybe since this is my only British variant. Will use with longer beard growth.

 

Great setup Rob, that bowl and brush are sweet!

 

Only one shave out of a lab? That seems like an unusually short life span

 

Thanks Roby, was trying to mimick snow by using my stucco ceiling reflection.

 

If I feel the slightest tug I get rid of a blade. Comfort over Frugal.
I have enough blades to last me a very very long time.

 

Very cool!

 

Thanks Kerry.

 

It's wonderful stuff, too. No mistake it's Pinaud. Very much like Clubman, but with greenery.

I had not heard of this AS before, so I had to pick it up.

Another great night of shaving! I tried a new soap, Van der Hagen, I liked the scent and it lathered and protected well. I have only used Arko until today which lathers if you look at it so I was unsure what to expect but I was pleased with it.
PSO- Peppermint homemade
Razor- Gillette Flare Tip
Blade- Astra SP (2)
Brush- Omega synthetic
Soap- VDH puck
ASB- Nivea men cooling
I went WTG, WTG and ATG tonight, first time in 5 days going ATG but I was happy with the results. Very little irritation but definitely more than a XTG third pass. I did end up with a smoother shave but I felt a little sharpness from the alum tonight. I hope you all have a wonderful evening!

 

Looks like the VDH luxury soap. That is a good lather and slick soap. It was my first wet shaving soap and readily available most places.

 

+1 It was my first soap also and I still like it. A good soap.
