Shave of the Day 2014

[Lifes a Peach]

La Toja is quite nice!

Brush: Simpsons Duke 2
Soap: TOBS Shaving Shop
Razor: Weber PH
Blade: Muhle (2)
Aftershave: TOBS Shaving Shop AS lotion

Smooth, very smooth. Ten minutes on and my face is a little more tingly than usual. Not sure which of the combination is responsible but it's there. Still nice though...

Brush: Frank Shaving ST
Pre-Shave: Occams Pre-Shave soap original
Soap/Cream: Shaver Heaven's croap (Forbidden Forest)
Razor: Gillette Rocket
Blade: Mühle [5]
After-shave: Shaver Heaven's balm (Summer Fling)

Since this Mühle blade is getting to the end of its life, I decided I needed a pre-shave for extra protection. (More on my thoughts on the blade here.)

I won't give a review of the croap just yet. I'm going to give it another run next week. But suffice to say, it provided a satisfying shave.

I did however give a review of the Shaver Heaven aftershave balm here.

Spidey sense playing up hey Stillsy? Did you work out what was the issue?

Cream: Floris 89
Razor: Feather asd2
Blade: Bolanzo
Brush: Kent LE

The Floris has a floral cologne scent with good strength and solid performance. I'm surprised it doesn't get talked about more.

As for the Kent it is a little treasure. Super soft, dense and good backbone. I enjoy using it very much.

What do you think of the Shaver Heaven croap?

 

[Nightguard]

I enjoyed it, very slick and easy to lather. A bit light on scent for me.

I agree. Easy to make a lather and the scent was light. Apparently he's planning to make the scent stronger in future.

Wait, wait, wait a minute. Wow, that one almost made it through to the keeper. WEBER! cool another to flock. What did you think @Nightguard

 

[Nightguard]

Very much enjoyed it. Certainly one that'll be staying in the den.

Great news. Many/most have a learning curve with the Weber but it sounds like you've bonded already. Enjoy! I've found it my most reliable daily razor…

Got a ways to go yet before it beats out my favourite but it's certainly a keeper.

For reference what's the keeper?

Meanwhile,
Brush: Thater 49125
Soap: Speick
Razor: Weber PH
Blade: Muhle (3)
Aftershave: Speick AS lotion

Now here is my reference point for a good shave. Neat, hassle-free, reliable.

[Nick the Knife]

Gillette Red Tip Superspeed
Gillette Dark Platinum
CRSW Bay Rum
Vie-Long 'Peleon'

Very enjoyable shave, actually the CRSW bay rum leaves a great scent on you post shave - so whilst I was a bit sus on it in the jar it leaves you smelling very debonair.

 

[Monsta_AU]

No shave today - too rushed to get out the door. And tomorrow is 'full catastrophe' shave day in any case.

 

[Ybbor]

Mach 3
Bar of soap and hand lathered
Taylor's medicated witch hazel
Cade spg moisturiser.

Was a good shave all things considered. Mach 3 is behaving itself which is rare.
