Shave of the Day Thread - 2020

[nsavage]

Hi mate,is this Trufitt soap a good performer.
I recall being told that one of the major U,k, makers soap was very ordinary

They reformulated a few years ago and I found the new formula to be a good performer. IMO a lot of the performance issues people tend to have with hard soaps come down to lathering technique and user error TBH.

Epic shave with an oh so smooth razor with Astra SP. The lather today was sub par because I think I am babying the brush so it doesn’t look “vintage” like those butterscotch’s of @Mark1966’s

Pre-shave: Proraso Red
Brush: Omega 10048
Soap/Cream: B&M Reserve Spice
Razor: Schick Krona
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (6)
Post-shave: Alum block, Witch hazel, Bulldog original aftershave balm, B&M Reserve Spice
Hair Tonic: Eau de Quinine

I think six shaves will about do it for the German Wilkie. As for the Krona, it's taken centre stage for now and won't budge. I typically don't like the feel of lightweight or long handled razors and the Krona is both of these albeit the handle is "longish" rather than long, although I just compared it too a long handled black beauty and the difference in handle length is only around 5mm or so. I find the long handled black beauty cumbersome but the length, weight and balance of the Krona fantastic and performance is superb. A wonderful razor...!

Just love the scent on this soap - it is also an excellent performer.

 

[Rabid Badger]

Stunning cream!!!

Really good, nearly at the end now though. Bought this years ago with Beard and Blade. Can only get it from oversease now. Would love to get some of the other scents too as this one has been fantastic, plus good performance.

Razor: Wolfman WR2 SB WRH7 SS
Blade: Ladas Super Stainless (1)
Brush: Doug Korn D7 Turquoise
Lather: Stirling Gin & Tonic

It's great to be back home - especially if a new member of the Wolfpack is waiting for you. Blown away by the "basic" polishing done by Mr. Dafour and the razor is a joy to shave with. Surprisingly there is a lot of blade feel on the face, but in a somehow calm and reassuring way. Silky smooth and very efficient with a 5 day growth and I am very much looking forward to get to know the WR2 in more detail!

I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday ​

So far, out of all the blades I've tried (gillette 7 o'clock, feather, derby extra and premium), the astra has given me the closest shave.

Another great shave of the day with some nice lather. As you can see, the soap is dying a painful death...
