SOS: May 2018

Razor: Joseph Rodgers & Sons
Brush: Thater 4125/1 Silvertip
Soap: Dr Jon’s Anne Bonny
A/S: Derby City Chop Shop Shave Tonic
Nothing like a 10/8” chopper mowing down 4 days growth... felt great! This Dr Jon’s is new to me, and I think this is a great twist to Bay Rum... lime and black tea - very enjoyable.

Enjoy your shave!
Tom.

 

It's May so a touch of crazy comes out.

It's the first time I've used the Lodz blade and on this occasion the hype is well and truly deserved.
Pretty sharp and very, very smooth.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Excellent shave, excellent scent.
This was my first use of the matching River Rouge splash from Catie's Bubbles - it's a perfect match, and provides a pleasant cool, leaving my skin soft and comfortable. This is a great collaboration!

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Proraso Sandalwood Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #274 boar brush. I did two passes with the Gillette 195 Fatboy with an Astra SP blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Granddad's AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
