Lather: Abbate y la Mantia Ishtar

Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

I noted today that this razor is not centered well in the scales, and if this gets any worse, it might hit the scales with the blades. I guess I will have to retighten the pin – not happy about this.

Have a good evening!

I found this red scaled Wectoblade on eBay a few weeks ago. It was caked with hard layers of grime, but also super cheap, so I took a chance and it came over the pond in my most recent reshipper bundle. After a few rounds in the ultrasonic cleaner and scratching the verdigris off the rivets it is now almost pristine.

After a long and Tabac-free November, this Tabac Tuesday was a delight. What started as a meme has become an uplifting little ritual.

Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave

The blade started to feel a bit different today… I’m not sure how long these Polsilvers last in general, but it might be time to swap it out.

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. I was traveling last week and haven’t caught up on the SOTD posts yet.

This morning I needed something quick and dirty (by dirty, I mean clean). I haven’t done Tabac Tuesday in months, so today’s return to this classic was extremely nice. A beautiful lather, and a close shave!

Tuesday, December 03, 2024: SLS

Brush: Omega - 10048 boar

Razor: RazoRock - Game Changer .68

Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (6)

Lather: Stirling - Christmas Eve

Post: Stirling - Arkadia Aftershave splash

Post: Ginger’s Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)

Frag: Stirling - Arkadia EdT

A quick second luxury shave tonight to wind down after work. I’m finding that I’ve gotten quite used to shaving twice a day after doing so for all of November. I doubt this is my new normal, but it sure does feel good when I have the time.

Brush: SBS Elyria - TNS v9 28mm badger

Razor: Gillette - Super Speed Black Tip

Blade: Gilette - ‘The Spoiler’ Super Stainless (2)

Lather: Speahead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime

Post: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime Aftershave splash

Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm

Frag: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Aromatique EdT

This was my inaugural shave with the SSL set I received over the weekend. All I can say is damn, I can understand why this soap gets so much praise. It’s like salty lime and sea breeze, just a lovely combination. The performance was great too.

Also my first shave with the TNS v9 knot. The handle is gorgeous in person and the knot performed quite well. An excellent shave all around.

  Oh yeah, SSL is a huge crowd pleaser 😊
  
  I remember getting what you’re getting now then it came out, and I used it for my first two Austere Augusts.
  
  I kept finding new nuances for the first ten or so shaves. So good

    I was definitely impressed. I don’t tend to like fruity scents, but this is hardly that.

03.12.2024 - A Barbershop on Tuesday

Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm

Razor: RazoRock Hawk V2 w/ Superknurl handle

Blade: KAI Protouch MG

Lather: HAGS - Barberwood

Post-Shave: HAGS - Barberwood AS toner; moisturizer

Fragrance: Bois 1920 - Oro Nero EdP

-> a quick single pass shave on both head and face before my appointment at the optician for getting new glasses.

A very nice shave regardless. Wanted to smell good but inoffensive, so barbershop scents are a good choice for that. The Hawk V2 is good for shaping my goatee area, generally SE razors are very favourable for getting sharp lines.
