SoS; January 2018.

Razor: Gillette Aristocrat 1947 (Birth Year)

Soap: Jeeves Of Husdon Street Turkish Bath
A/S: Lucky Tiger
Bowl: Junichi Tanaka Artisanal Scuttle

 

Nice setup Clint, is the Cobra a recent pickup?

 

Doug; I would wager the scuttle was a welcome addition to your shave after snapping that pic!

 

You are 100% correct. ☺☺

Well, well, well..................it seems that in addition to your endless taunting, one Boojum1 has joined your little party today with his Barberpole brush. We are not amused.

 

Thank you Guy. I have had the Cobra for over a year. I got side tracked on using more recent acquisitions.

 

The Paradigm worked very well on only one days growth. Smooth with zero irritation, even on my neck..which is unusual. Excellent.

 

I'd say "very nice pic", but I'm already freezing over here...lol.

Beautiful Brush and Razor Douglas.

 

Tuesday 2nd January

Birch Tar soap and Man Cave Olivestone Facial Scrub
Vitos Preshave Cream
Williams Mug Soap
Semogue 830 Boar Brush
RazoRock 'Black' Hawk V2 with a Feather SuperPro Blade
Alum Block and Rinse
BBA PS Balm
Pinaud Lime Sec

I have had some Williams Mug Soap lying around for years and never got round to using it....due to the horror stories of being difficult to lather and a lack of skin care. This morning I found the lather to be quite good..though a little drying. The overall experience was surprisingly and unexpectedly good, with the skincare issues resolved by the BBA PS Balm.

Three passes for a very enjoyable BBS shave

 

Stellar SOTD
The RazoRock Mamba is such a wonderful daily shaver, I really love the RazoRock 400 Plissoft brush. Mike's Lavender is AWESOME! Fine is at the top notch good stink
I went with a Personna Lab Blue and loved it, taking a little break from Polsilver SI.

 

Beautiful shave Mark!! I gave my General to my son, he didn't like the shave so I just called him and remind him to bring it back. Super razor.

 

Thanks for your kind words Joseph. I hope you had a great Christmas and New years.
