Goodline TTO razor
Lord Big Ben super stainless blade
Pinaud Clubman shave butter
Pinaud Clubman aftershave


Face wash prep with Dial antibacterial soap

No time for a shower tonight. I've been trying off and on to get the hang of shave butters. This one is not very slick. One pass was good enough and all my face would take. I dropped the rest of the tube in the trash. It is definitely not for me. Even with the Clubman aftershave my face felt battered.

My S.O.T.D today consisted of......
Prep Hot Wash.
Blackland Shaving Towel.
Brush Highlander LE2023 Badger.
Soap Monsavon Au Lait.
Razor Karve Glacier Bison.
Blade Perma-Sharp.
Aftershave Whipped Tallow Cream Moisturiser.

This was my shave yesterday and I forgot to post.

Today's shave was with the newly acquired Karve Glacier Bison.
This is a razor that was safe, very safe, there was no point I thought it would bite me.
I am on the fence about it but it did give me an error free face and head shave leaving me BBS.
The Shaving croap and Moisturiser was a generous gift from wayne_m who kindly sent me it and again I was impressed.
The croap gave me a lovely creamy lather and my Badger brush loaded enough to complete my shave without the need to return to the tub.
Full marks for the post shave feeling afterwards.
like the croap, the Moisturiser was another product I had never seen before or heard of.
Again it's brilliant and the best straight out of the gate Moisturiser for leaving your skin subtle and soft, I have used for a while.
I would definitely recommend both to try.

a solid 8.5/10 shave.


I will now leave you all to enjoy your day.
Great post mate
Cheers

My Blaze's Birthday S.O.T.D today consisted of......
Prep Hot Shower.
Brush Blackland Signature synthetic.
Soap Tcheon Fung Sing Torino.
Razor Blackland Titanium Osprey.
Blade Iridium super new stock.
Aftershave Rogue Mousse Iluminee edt.

Today's shave was a test of the Iridium super blades new stock against the god awful tuck I have.
On the old blade even unwrapping it is a pain because the paper just falls apart and sticks to the blade, you can lose a finger just trying to clear the bits off before you have even loaded it, I wonder if at some point the tuck got water logged or something and they shave like barbed wire.
The new Blade the wrapper pops off as it should and I am happy to report, these things are sharp and I mean sharp, I had an excellent face and head shave with zero issues, just as well because I brought 250 of the things and would have had to sell them on the BST.
The Tcheon Fung Sing Torino soap was fabulous it reminds me of the Mastro Miche just with Almonds in the scent, why had I not tried these before?
That's what I love about this Hobby, just when you think you have nothing else to discover, something turns up that blows you away and blinking cheap.
This stuff and the Mastro Miche are in the same league as MdC for me.

a solid 9/10 shave.

I will now leave you all with a photo of the Birthday boy who turned 3 years old today.
