After a disappointing shave with the Perma Sharp Super blade in the Timeless yesterday I used the Astra green again for a good comparison.

And this is indeed shaves a lot softer and smoother.

Three cautious passes gave a good result.


Ready for a cappuccino with ….

Have a nice day everyone.!

Shaves of the Week


Saturday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: ‘The Rock’ (Rockwell 6S – #3)
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock S/P Black
Brush: 'Mama Chub' (Chubby 2 Two Band)
Soap: Barrister & Mann ‘Roam’
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Chatillon Lux: Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve
Fragrance: Creed Royal Oud

‘The Rock’/Black Ninja combo made light work of removing 5 days growth, with ‘Roam’ providing the slick, protective foundation that really does make all the difference..


Tuesday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Weber ARC
Blade: Wizamet Polsilver
Brush: 'Da Vinci' ( Rod Neep CS-1 "Forest Flame" 30mm Extra Dense Silvertip )
Soap: Oleo Soapworks ‘Rougére’
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Phoenix & Beau 'Spitfire' Post Shave Lotion

a superb shave... the Wizamet Polsilver really does bring out the best in the Weber.. likewise with the 'Da Vinci', making light work of ‘Rougére’, producing a rich, bountiful lather... like I said before, Superb!


Thursday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Astra S/P
Brush: New Forest Tubby 1 Finest
Soap: Van Yulay: Royal Oudh
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Wholly Kaw: King of Oud Aftershave Toner

a lovely shave was had, but the Astra seemed a bit underwhelming compared with the Polsilver SI.. Royal Oudh is, without a doubt, an outstanding soap, and paired with the King of Oud Aftershave Toner, totally lifted my spirits..

Supply First
This was my first shave with the Supply SE, and I was a little worried because GEMs do not agree with my face. My fear is unfounded - I got a solid close shave with a little bit of irritation, which was not surprising since I'm just learning. I did notice that this razor is relatively quiet, which my have led me to put pressure on it. I have high hopes for this one and I'll get better.

Stirling Sandpiper today. 20 seconds to load the John’s Brushes Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Rapira Platinum Lux in the Gillette NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Sandpiper aftershave.
