    Thanks for your post. I have my GC-84 set to use tomorrow morning (Sunday) with a Ladas. It's a great razor. I've used different blades (KAI included) and have not had a bad shave yet.

    Hi Friends,

    Here my SotD (05.01.2025)

    IMG_5557.jpeg
    Razor: Fatip Il Grande // Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra (15) // Soap: SV Felce Aromatica // Brush: Shavemac // Aftershave: Witch Hazel // Scent: Acqua di Selva

    I hope you ´re alright.

    Another day another great shave. Everything performed wonderful , so i had 2,5 joyful passes. Maybe the blade is now starting to loose a LITTLE bit of it´s smoothness but it is maybe just the combo with the razor that makes me feel this way.

    As Aftershave i used just Witch Hazel and as scent for today the Acqua di Selva (which means Water of the Woods if i am right), but nevertheless the scent matched wonderful with the soap.

    A 10 out of 10

    Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten

    The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Catcher razor and the Star Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Sunday morning:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Wilkinson day 12
    MSC Vintage Spice SS
    Lubriderm Moisturizer
    MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

    I can’t find my vintage Old Spice mug anywhere here in the house……damn, I hope I didn’t throw it out by accident but this Vintage Spice soap is a perfect substitute. It has the same awesome scent as the Shulton Old Spice soap, it’s such a pleasure to lather, there’s plenty of slickness to it, and the postshave care is brilliant. The Lubriderm moisturizer is so soothing, and the Vintage Spice aftershave went on with no stinging or burning because it’s witch hazel based. The scent is Shulton Old Spice all the way. Another cracking good three pass BBS shave that I truly enjoyed!

    Wishing you all a nice Sunday - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Sunday Schick shave, January 5th 2025

    Razor : Schick E2 injector Canadian variant. Mfg 1930's-40's, mid range. Well made to last with a little care are my thoughts on this razor.
    Blade : Schick injector (5) sharp and smooth with great longevity. Nice blade around 3-6 shaves count it seems for myself.
    Soap : Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood, nice Bayrum with some clove with the Sandalwood nicely making a scent that I enjoy + excellent lather qualities when brush loading or using puck like a shave stick gives some great lather for 2 1/2 passes.
    Brush : Yaqi"Sagrada Familia"
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : witch hazel soap residual beard cleanse+ Ogallala Bayrum & sandalwood [​IMG] + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : Dial 10 stellar.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Schick E2 with a Schick blade.
