  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84P
  • Blade: Wilkinson Sword Classic (1)
  • Lather: Australian Private Reserve - Raconteur - Soap
  • Post Shave: Australian Private Reserve - Raconteur - Aftershave

  Perhaps influenced by HD Shaves latest installment on YouTube, I chose Raconteur today. There’s about 6"-7" of snow on the ground and it’s still coming down, so a warm scent was just right.

  I have this Game Changer on loan from OrganMeat. It pairs well with this blade. Seemed easier and less blade feely than with other blades.

    We’re getting snow where I am too, but not nearly as much as you.

  SOTD 13.02.2024

  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
  • Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux
  • Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin w/ 26 mm Flattop/Fan hybrid
  • Lather: Speick shaving cream
  • Post Shave: Dick Johnson’s God Spray; Phytorelax Headshave ASB

  Haven’t posted in a while, although I did a few mediocre shaves since we’ve arrived at Liebenstein. The internship is so-so; tons of interesting medical stuff but not much to do for me. It was only the second day though, I have hope that I’ll become better accustomed to everything.

  1 pass head shave, nice smooth dome. I brought the brush, black plastic Wilkinson Classic razor and the blades with me, but only bought the Speick cream today. I had an awful brushless cream before and it just didn’t do anything justice. Today was much better and way more comfortable…

  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Aristocrat (1948-50)
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Leviathan Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Watchman - After Shave Balm

  This is my first time using my Aristocrat since “fixing” it. The end caps came off so I used epoxy to glue them back on. Unfortunately it seems I used too much epoxy because the doors no longer open all the way from the twisting mechanism. They open partway, and then I have to use my hands to get them fully open. This doesn’t affect the shave at all but I’m hoping something can be done about this. I’m hoping that with a few uses the stiffness will work itself out, but I don’t know if that’s realistic. Does anyone have any thoughts?
