Saturday SOTD

Pre - Bath with Nivea Sensitive Body Wash
Lather - Nivea Sensitive Shave Cream
Brush - Zenith Synthetic
Razor - RazoRock Game Changer .84-P
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Post - Nivea 2 Phase Aftershave Lotion

Inspired by @Digimonkey SOTD , I went with a Nivea shave
The sensitive cream to my nose has a more pleasant scent than the Original, but they are both very good creams , the residual slickness and post shave feel are excellent - especially for the price (£1 per tube)
I don't need to waffle on about the virtues of the Game Changer and Silver Blue - both performed in harmony as usual
Finished with Nivea 2 Phase Aftershave. I always find this lotion a bit 'weird' when first applied, as it seems greasy and slippery, but dries very quickly. Anyway, it does a good job and doesn't smell bad either

Durham T-type

Wolfman WR2 SB 1.25
Wizamet Super Iridium
Alpha Rubberset 400 Tribute

First attempt with the Durham. Looks very nice but delivered a horrible shave. Switched to the Wolfman which gave a smooth and effective shave.
If anyone has managed to have decent shaves with the Durham razors, glad to have tour suggestions.

I lost my AC SE virginity on my last shave. Half way through the shave I figured out that the Hawk needs a shallow angle or the shave is rough. The end result was ok but I'm not going to judge it based on the first shave.

Armed with the knowledge of the angle, this shave was much better. 3 passes and no touch-ups for a dolphin smooth finish. I think I'm going to enjoy this format. A lot of razor for £30 new as well!

The final part of my ramblings today - why is much never said about Mondial soaps? Like Extro they seem to fly under the radar but they smell great and perform brilliantly.

How does the soap perform? I’ve been tempted by both the Darwin brush and soap but never convinced.

This soap is a new formula by Le Père Lucien with duck fat.
Is a good soap? Yes it is. Making a good Lather is easier for me than other Le Pere Lucien Soaps. There are several of good soaps... Yesterday I tried Zingari. Lather is great.
I really like this soap. 4th use today. Maybe I tried more than 100 soaps. I keep only fw in my bathroom : S Varesino felce / Mickey lee cape verde and pantie dropper / Savonnière du Moulin / C. Slater french vetiver / Zingari magician / TFS... floral scent. I need a bayrum. fitjar make a great soap.
More I use the drake's bayrum... more I think I have found my bayrum!
Review is coming....
