SOTD 3-9 July 2016

First use of a Polsilver in the Slant. Barely feeling the blade as it cut through my facial hair, but it was indeed cutting through it. Two passes, minor touch-ups, BBS. I'm in love with this razor.
The "Cien" after shave lotion, sold over here in what could be a European equivalent to Walmart or Woolworths (LIDL, for those who would like to know) is another example of that "sometimes a little money goes a long way" thing. It cost a bit more than 3€ and you get Witch Hazel, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Castor Oil and Glycerin, with a very nice, fresh scent. And it worked really well on my skin. Can't complain, oh no. I added some menthol to beef it up and will add some extra Witch Hazel as soon as the level in the bottle goes down a little bit. It will benefit from it, most likely.

Hector,

That brush reminds me of something but I am not sure what.

It looks like my kind of brush, a bushy brush.

Late post but I had an excellent shave this morning.

9 JUL

Prep: Lots of hot water to the face and a smearing of Prep preshave
Razor: 1940s Super Speed
Blade: Israeli Super+ Platinum (1)
Brush: 28mm Fauxmere in Whipped Dog handle
Lather: Stirling Tuscany
Post: B&M Rhapsody

Whew, two uncomfortable shaves in a row. Not good! Apparently, this Israeli blade is not matched to the Super Speed as it is to some of my other razors. I should have looked back in my SOTD's over the last year before popping in this blade to replace the lousy Shark blade.

This is the first time I have used Tuscany. I got it from a fellow on Reddit in a big soap lot I purchased late-ish last year. I got good lather, but the scent just wasn't for me. It will be joining the to-be-sold pile. It must be one of the early runs with Tuscany because the label is not waterproof in the least. The label is just paper, really. I think a lot of soapers used these types of labels when they first started their businesses. I don't have any other Stirling soaps, but from what I see on their website it appears their labels are now waterproof.
