Greetings,

Early morning face & head shave,

The schmidt R10 handle paired together with the Yingjili Tech head makes a wonderful Frankentech. The extra weight of the R10 handle gives a good additional heft, making a non-aggressive yet efficient duo.

Fourth outing of the Goodfellas' Smile Abysso Shaving Soap & ASL duo which provided me with another exceptional shave the lathering performance of the shaving soap is superb providing a great slick protective wonderfully scented lather in a short space of time. The matching ASL finishes the shave off excellently.

Another enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face is feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Mail call shave for the long awaited Alpha Outlaw Evolution Ti. It was definitely worth the wait @AlphaShaving has knocked it out the park with this one. The shiniest razor in my den and maybe even the lightest. The soap picked itself as my favourite summer scent.

4 days of growth awaited the Outlaw and it was a dream to use. 3 passes and BBS. Looking forward to the next shave already!

Aqua Velva aftershave

Tuesday turned out to be a cheat day. Canned foam will do in a pinch and today is a bit hectic. Days like this remind me how much I don't miss the morning workday rush.

Two passes and a lot of touch up blade buffing. It was nearly three. I definitely needed the Aqua Velva to cool and calm things down.

Here's hoping that you'll have a calmer day than me.

Good Tuesday or Hump Day Eve all!!

Pre - Droyt's Classic Glycerose Soap
Brush - AP400 Slim SynBad 22mm
Soap - P&B Trafalgar
Razor - Kasho Kai Captain CAP-R7 Folder
Blade - Feather Pro Guard
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Macdui - Rosemary & Sandalwood
A/S - Brut Original

The Kai shavette is not really seen in SOTD's much lately, I find its is a crackin little razor and shaves very much like the Feather DX although a little more forgiving, for me it sits between the SR and DX.
Fitted with a new Pro-Guard its has given me a very close comfortable shave from 2 passes and a touch up on the whirlpools. All other items provided a fantastic supporting cast.
Spot on that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

SotD-29/08/23.

Pre: - Steamed Towel
Post: - Rex '1955' Balm
Razor: - Seygus Zeppelin v2 Ti (0.84) Plate
Blade: - 7 o'Clock Sharp (New)
Brush: - Ian Burtney Custom Marl Burl (30mm)
Soap: - Rex '1955'
EdP: - T.F. Tobacco Vanille

First time I've used the 0.84 base plate & it has a bit of nip let's say. Very close shave efficient shave. Although a decent shave this is not an autopilot razor with this plate for me that is. Light touch all the way

Happy Shaves To All .
