SOTD Saturday 9 May - Friday 15 May 2026

[Ghostbuster]

Pre shave: Hot shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor: Gillette No. 58
Blade: Personna GEM PDG (11)
Brush: Captain Fawcett Synthetic V
Bowl: Captains choice copper
Soap: Stirling Executive man
Post shave: Stirling Executive man post shave balm

A quick late evening shave today and an exceptionally smooth and efficient one.
I chose the No. 58 on a whim at the last minute as I needed to shave quickly without having to put too much thought or focus into it as it's one of those days where there doesn't seem to be enough time, and it delivered an excellent result for 3 effortless passes.

Stirlings executive man whipped up to a very well hydrated, cushioned lather providing more than enough glide, paired with the preshave as well as outstanding scent.

Finished off with the matching balm for a perfect finish.

Hope your week is going well!

The edge on the Ator could have been a little bit better yesterday, so I touched that up and tested, then gave the rest of the shave to the Vitola razor.

SOTD - Thursday 14 May 2025

Prep: Warm shower
Soap: Stuga Red Apple & Guava
Brush: Yaqi Green Obsidian 24mm Synthetic
Razor: Kampfe A-68
Blade: XR Rhinoceros Swiss (6th use!)
Splash: Paul Sebastian Fine Cologne

A really fruity soap which produces a very good lather if you work at it. Amazingly this was the sixth use of the Rhinoceros Swiss blade which I have found to be fairly sharp and quite smooth. Three passes produced a DFS, and the PS Fine Cologne complimented the soap very well at the finish. Enjoy your shaves everyone...

Thursday 14th May...

A new open comb Fatip razor today. This was a very efficient shave and from my other closed comb Fatip I knew this wouldn't need many passes - turned out to be one and touch-ups. Feels nice in the hand despite it's smaller, diminutive size but its pairing with the Lord Platinum #2 was very pleasing. Once you add in the slickness of this soap, I felt this to be an excellent combination.

Extremely close as expected. Very pleased with that.

Enjoy your day.

A smooth and satisfying shave this morning, the only downside was using up the last of the DR Harris Pink splash which I will replace next time I’m in London/ Green Park area.
