SOTD: Saturday 4 May- Friday 10 May 2024

[semajohn]

Pre-Op - Martin De Candre
Razor - TGS, Bayonetta
Blade - Tiger, Platinum
Soap - Stirling, Sandpiper
Brush - EverGoose, AP Titanium knot.
Post-Shave - Martin De Candre
Splash - Stirling, Sandpiper

That was a bit of a surprising shave.

On paper, the TGS Bayonetta wouldn't be my sort of razor.
A 0.65 gap and 0.15 exposure isn't normally something I would like. But this was quite comfortable.
Next time, I'll try a shaper blade.

Sublime SOTN (Head & Face)


Face - Yates 921 Head (H) on Yates Winning V2 SS handle, Ladas Super Steel
Head - Yates Winning V2 Ti, Gillette Nacet
Suits - Soap & Splash
Yaqi Caramel Cats Whiskers synthetic brush
Thayer's Coconut
Nivea Pro Sensitive Ultra Calming Balm


Best shave yet with the 921, I was struggling with the standard handle length but the Winning V2 makes for a great replacement, shorter length but about the same weight and width of the standard 921 handle so it still fits the inkwell stand - I hope Yates make them available for purchase separately. Winning V2 Ti continues to give fantastic dome shaves now I'm used to it.


The software is a new arrival to the den today, my first experience of using Azalea City Suds - I'm quite impressed. This limited run arranged in collaboration with The Wet Shaving Store and the Shave Dad group smells fantastic and check out that artwork

Wilkinson TTO razor
Shark super chrome super stainless blade
Omega boar brush
Arko shaving soap
Jase East aftershave

Hot shower prep with Dr Squatch soap

The Omega brush is made for picking up soap from the puck. It doesn't take a lot to make a lather. First pass went well. Second and touch up finished the job. Jade east to finish.

Background is my new Aloha shirt. Retirement has its perks including wearing what I please even if it's not in style.
