SoS: June 8, 2015 - June 14, 2015

Okay, cool. I just may take you up on that offer.

As soon as you give me your printer's email address.

 

In that case I will never get that Plisson =( hahaha

 

Weber PH
Personna Plat
Muhle Rytmo Black Fibre
LPL - Rose
CC Cat o' Nine Tails
Sea of Spa Balm (from the Dead Sea)

A fantastic shave that was thrown together at the last second. I haven't used the Sea of Spa in a while, and so I forgot just how nice it is! Happy Sunday everyone!

 

Over 15 minutes, spread over 3 passes, just on lather production. Every other soap/cream I have takes less than a minute. Everyone raves about how good the lather from Stirling is.

 

Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette Fatboy
Blade - Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge Yellow (#5)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Arko Soap / Arko Cream / Glycerine
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS+

Been way too long since I whipped up an überlather and I don't understand how I could have forgotten about it. Between this and the excellent yellows, the result is one of the most comfortable shaves I've ever had, right up there with the gold standard 1912.

 

Razor: Gillette Flare Tip D2 1958
Blade: Gillette, Platinum (3)
Brush: Semogue 1305 Boar Tri Colored Wood Handle.
Soap: TSD Coconut
Mug: Soak my brush in the Old Spice coffee mug for about a minute.
A/S: TSD Coconut
Added to much water today, sort of over compensated for my lack of water with the boar brush a few days ago. I used a different soap and that could have added to the water over load. TSD Coconut soap is an excellent shave soap and TSD A/S Coconut is a great finish. DFS
Missed yesterday post as I attended my grand daughters dance recital. It was great.

 

We start a new SOTD thread tomorrow HERE so there's no confusion ill lock this thread later tonight or early tomorrow morning. Happy shaving!

SOTD 14 May 2015

30 Day Rule with a Cadet OC!

​

Day three on this blade brought a smooth close shave, albeit with a couple mild weepers. No real issues with this shave, just blade past its prime. I am still on my TSD ISZ kick, topped off with some Barbon. I was able to get everything calmed down with the alum and face is feeling great 90 minutes post shave! The only thing I experimented with today was that I used straight buffing strokes on pass one on the chin. It gave me a great shave on a difficult area. Other than that...it's about to rain in Colorado (again)!

Have a great night and a sterling Monday!
