    It’s been a little while since I posted an SOTD but after a long a frustrating week I thought some lavender would ease the mood. Love this soap it’s always a treat using it! Love the edge my Nakayama gave me on this razor what a wonderful shave.[​IMG]

    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    20190120_130925.jpg

    Prep: Pre Shave Soap Mix
    Razor: Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Pol-Silver
    Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
    Soap: Wet The Face- Zu Zu's Petals
    Post: Rose Water, CL Rose Santal EDT

    Had a wonderful refreshing shave this morning. Went with Wet The Face as i wanted to give this one another shot, am a big fan of WTF soaps and this one is no exception.


    Scent of Zu Zu's Petals is a green Rose floral. Fairly strong beautiful scent. Donald says he is going to use this particular Rose for any further Rose scented soaps, and i can see why. Soap has a pink color and has a soft consistancy so it loads easily. only a small dab was all that is needed to whip up a mountain of lather, and in fact could have used half the amount.

    Performance is very good, although i have prefered the Sunflower Oil formula, this stuff is not far behind. Managed to get a BBS with no irritation or nicks, in fact the closest shave i've had in a while. No burning sensation at all which can sometimes be a issue woth some Rose scented soaps. Very happy with the results from todays shave, and hope you had a similar experience!

    January 20 - Blade Trials

    Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
    Post - Alum

    What a wonderful day in STL! I think our high was 18F, and we had about an inch of snow during the afternoon just to remind us it's winter. Glad we didn't forget. Time to close out the day with the final run for the Vi-John Super Platinum blade trial. Slim on the wide open 9 and I chose my Wolf Whiskers custom brush to finish it out. I have gotten tied down to my synthetics so I decided I needed some badger love. It's like muskrat love, only it snarls more.


    Now that we have that out of the way.............the lather was typical fantastic Arko and the blade was very smooth on all three passes tonight. I mentioned on one of the nights with this blade that I think I prefer it to the Super Stainless version and I'll stand by that. I felt like on the SS that the blade might be getting a little tired on the third shave but tonight's shave didn't give me that impression at all with the SP. I do prefer Platinum to Stainless coatings so that's probably all there is to explaining that. The finish was a nice BBS and the alum was just beginning to have a little warmth to it. Either the wide open setting caused that or perhaps the blade is a bit tired. Either way, it wasn't bad at all so it didn't detract from a really fine shave.

    Both Vi-John blades performed nearly flawlessly. As I've said, these aren't the world's sharpest but they are smooth and effective and can definitely get the job done. For the price they're definitely a bargain. I wouldn't hesitate to use them.

    A break from trials tomorrow as I want to revisit the theme(s) for the month! More on that tomorrow. Have a great Monday!!

    Another face feeling shave and a good (shaving) start to the week.

    Out of interest.....Vulfix is made/owned by Simpson now. Could the fibre used in the Vulfix synthetics be the same as that used in the Simpson offerings?
