Shave of the Day Thread - 2019

[SpeedyPC]

A crisp Sunday morning trying out the Yaqi Beast head on my Windrose handle with a Spoiler blade. Big audio feedback, smooth and efficient. I'm impressed.

Soap: Pb Puck No:2
Brush: Semogue 610
Razor: Gillette Slim Aristocrat
Blade: Bolzano (1)
Post: Jojoba Oil
Interesting combo this morning. Good morning to use Puck No:2 as it's past it's BB Date but still produces a nice lather which was probably helped by the Alfredus Choice residual left in the bowl after I'd washed out the lather yesterday.
The Bolzano (compliments of @nsavage ) was a pleasant surprise. Performed very nicely in the aristocrat.

Tried a feather in the R41 this morning, certainly saw the efficiency of the blade but wasnt as comfortable a shave as the polisilvers. Had to tread with more caution and got some tiny nicks around the place.

How’s your face coming along, because, your mother still wanted a family photo taken. Don’t forget to smile this time at the camera and don’t be a shy little bastard.

FS Manchurian Finest
DRHarris Sandalwood
DIY lemon myrtle oil/Anherb
​

The FS Manchurian is a lovely brush! It's not too dense so it has a really natural splay but with the scrub of a two band. Perfect for my tastes!!

The DRHarris Sandalwood soap scent is just a wonderful, albeit subtle. Still one of my top brands for shave soap.

Same setup at yesterday’s shave and same excellent result.

After shaving today it was time to make the remaining soap sit more central in the tub. Few days remain on this soap.

Out with the timeless today.. and felt the difference v R41 right away. Timeless is def smoother feel while shaving and R41 more blade feel.. both are amazing, different feel for a different day
