SE SOTD, Saturday, June 24th 2023

Razor : Oneblade Core SE- Mfg 2017>, mild razor, well built and should last with some care. I used this razor a lot when I first got it and have not used it for a regular shave in some time, not sure how old the de-splined Gem blade is. I use a Supie Gem hack stacked blade arrangement for getting great results. This is one of the few negative exposure razors I have where you can apply a little pressure for closer shaves. Great razor for shaving the back of my neck after a hair trimming also.
Blade : Gem de-splined blade (?), very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap : Yaqi Malibu, mild scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi "Purple haze" 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 : Italian barber Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 chin blemish weeper= Great shave with my One blade core with a de-splined Gem blade.


Have some great shaves!

2 pass BBS. Alum witch hazel afterwards.

I'm rethinking the British Slim Twist, a much more solid shaver than the one I recall using (hating) years ago. It is definitely superior to the Knack, which I still hate.

If you like Brut, you need this soap.

 

very cool.my grandad's razor.

Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Rapira day 14
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
Prep ASB
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

Lately our weather is on the hot side so a setup like this is most welcome. Rod’s Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and aftershave are not only frigidly cold, they have such a gorgeous scent which goes so well with this kind of weather - the strawberry notes are more dominant but the lemon still comes through. The soap’s tallow formula promotes such awesome lather that has tons of the famous Stirling slickness, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is numero uno. The Prep moisturized and soothed my skin perfectly while the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave gave me its delightful scent along with a MONSTROUS menthol punch. The Rapira blade reached the end of the road but it gave me one last hoorah with a brilliant three pass BBS shave that was so much fun!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and stay safe!

Cold Water Rinse
Vintage Life Morning TOST
Jayaruh #206 2-band Badger
C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher
C.V. Heljestrand Wedge
CWR
Barbasol AS

The Vintage Life Morning TOST Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher Razor and a C.V. Heljestrand Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Hi Friends,

Here my Sunday Shave (25.06.2023)

Freezing Coldwater Shave


Pre: Floid Sandolor // Razor: RazoRock Lupo .95 SS // Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra (9) // Soap: Soap Commander Honor // Brush: Semogue OC Cherrywood // Aftershave: Nivea Face and Beardbalm

Great shave. Cold, smooth and gentle. The blade is not that sharp as on the first shaves but that is normal. But even now much better than some blades in their first use…

All in all a 10 out of 10

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

Greetings
Thorsten

 

Thanks for that, Gary.
