Shave of the Day Thread - 2020

[StratMan]

Pre: Warm Shower
Razor: Timeless 95 SB
Blade: Feather
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Pony
Cream: Proraso Azur Lime + Mystic Waters Adriondackjack
Post: APR Florian Splash

I have read good things about mixing soap and cream so decided to give it a go. Loaded the brush with mystic waters soap, added an almond size dollop of cream to the brush and proceeded to face lather. I got an amazingly slick and protective lather, 4 passes later I was super happy with the result and the lather quality.

Another highly enjoyable pre-work SOTD this morning with the Dart + Rubie blade. A smooth shave in part to the soap and Rubies leaving me with a near BBS in 2 easy passes. Finished off with some Serum (it arrived yesterday - plus a few goodies thanks to @todras, the gents at Beard & Blade & @tim33z for the tip ) for what was a happy shave!

At the end of the first week back at work from my trip, this seemed appropriate -

Have a great Friday guys

Soap: Pb Red Dwarf
Brush: Travel Vulfix
Razor: Gillette Super Click
Blade: Gillette Super Thin (1)

The economic solution to shaving. My son brought the Gillette Super Click back from Thailand with him for me. Cost him less than a dollar and it gives a surprisingly good shave. Will it be a regular in my rotation - no. The plastic just doesn't feel right on the face. I'll give the Super Thin blade another go in another razor to see how much of the performance was due to it.
The plastic top plate hinges on plastic tabs to open up to allow blade placement then locks down on the blade with another plastic tab on the opposite end. Seems to hold the blade well. I can imagine it would struggle with a weeks growth but performed well for a daily shave.
So if you get stuck somewhere (like Thailand) without shaving kit and come across one of these at least you'll know it's a feasible option.
Probably not destined for @Errols list.

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: Vulfix old original super badger
Soap: APR Fenchurch
Razor: 1860-1880 Wade & Butcher 5/8 near wedge
Post-shave: APR Fenchurch splash

The monstrosity that covered my face has been a few years in the growing and was removed for a good cause! (Worlds Greatest Shave, raised $738!). My first ever SOTD was actually Thursday night. My first proper shave with a straight. Spent a fair bit of time watching and reading on good techniques on shaving and lathering soaps. Still a lot to learn but I felt my shave was quite decent. Couple small patches I missed which I went back over with a shavette. Only a little irritation on my lower neck but nowhere else

I didn't know you were an Aussie Redneck from Perth before you shaved off your beard for the charity

Well done, @Gimli! A great cause indeed - I lost my locks to this in previous years.
