Shave of the Day - 2024

[karol.elec]

08 June (a very auspicious occasion - my birthday)
A pre-1890 custom made T.R. Cadman "Bengall" 6/8 full hollow.

​

One of my girlfriends came up from the coast to visit me for as few days. For dinner this night, she baked a chocolate mud cake and made chicken adabo with rice - a classic Filipino dish.

Happy birthday Richard

SOTD – Wed.12Jun2023​

Razor: This is also the first episode in a series of shaves over the next few months featuring low priced razors costing AU$20 or less, today’s razor is the Lord L6 I picked up for AU$15.

Shave Result: MWF lather always gives me excellent performance, with wonderful after shave skin feel. To my nose MWF has a light clean soapy, powdery, slightly spicy aroma. Wonderful clean, smooth, close DFS from the Lord L6 razor, I would classify it a bit more aggressive than the Merkur 34c.

The Gear:​

• Pre Shave: TriCare Goats Milk Soap (ALDI) [A]
• Brush: TroyCraft “The Bishop” (design based on Vintage Tall Butterscotch Strong Set) 24/54 APShave UK Fibres [A]
• Soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat (MWF) - Tallow Version
• Bowl: Whispers From The Woods [A]
• Razor: Lord L6 DE (44gm)
• Blade: Shark Chrome by Lord (2)
• Astringent: Jennai Body Care - Aloe Vera Gel with Witch Hazel & Vitamin E [A]
• Balm: G&M Australian Creams - Emu Oil MkII [A]
• After Shave: Proraso Sandalwood (Red) AS Lotion
• Moisturiser: MooGoo Natural Full Cream - Hydrate [A]

[A] = Australian Product

Blade-less is my preferred method of shaving with a "safety" razor. If I want to cut whiskers, I shave with a straight razor.

First time using this razor in years and I was impressed! I went very gently throughout and didn't get any nicks. Helped by three days of growth, but I'm curious to see how it does with less growth now.
