SOTD Thursday 6 June

  • Razor - Gillette British Rocket FlareTip
  • Blade - Shark – Super Stainless
  • Pre-Shave - Pears soap
  • Brush - Omega Pro 48 Boar
  • Cream - Proraso – Wood and Spice
  • Post Shave - Nivea Moisturizer
  • Aftershave - Gillette Splash
  • Balm - Nivea – Sensitive Balm

The Morning Shave.

I was fortunate to receive a Blade PIF with a selection of 22 DE Blades. This is a great opportunity to try different blades.

I enjoyed the Shark blade, different feel not too sharp like a feather, however very comfortable. No irritation or drag. 0 nicks.

The Omega Pro 48 is new, breaking is quite quickly. Great soft feel with plenty of back bone. Great lather from the Proraso and a great scent from the Wood & Spice.

Now I understand why you've been away at the hilltops hiding, with your favourite Tabac and your marriage lasting longer by listing to your grandma. KEEP USING TABAC!

Should've gotten the P&C LE 2020 Matilda brush, but, I didn't and I bald out. :banghead:
Also, I couldn't order the Sir Irisch Moos EDT. I wasn't sure this might smell great on me.

Shave Report: The Whispers soap is an excellent vegetal performer that is a bit underrated. For me the scent smells like I just walked into a Asian/India discount store with the Sandalwood, Asian floral and Spicy aroma, scent strength 6/10. Lovely clean, smooth DFS from the 1950 Tech.

  • Brush: Frank Shaving “Bone Head” with 23/54 Special Best Badger knot
