Shave of the Day Thread - 2020

[Gargravarr]

Pre: Hot water
Razor: GC-JAWS
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge Yellow (1)
Brush: Forgotten Art "Tarkine" 26mm Tuxedo
Soap: Wholly Kaw Chypre Rose Concerto
Post: Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm

Steadily wearing a big dent in that Rose Concerto. I have my moments with this soap, but overall, it's a bit overblown and sweaty to be a keeper, so I'm running it down. But performance is perfect, and the JAWS matches the Gillette Yellow like fish and chips to give a perfect, easy BBS every time.

Pre-shave:- Hot Shower
Brush:- DSC - SHD Geltip Manchurian badger
Soap/Cream:- Ariana & Evans - Amber Rose
Razor:- Muhle - Rocca R94
Blade:- Gillette - Stainless (9)
Post Shave:- Arianna & Evans - Amber Rose AS splash / Zingari Man AS Balm

2 pass WTG + touchups = DFS+. Another enjoyable shave.

Soap scent profile, Amber-Rose-Incense-Tobacco -Spices- Saffron- Patchouli. Scent strength is light to medium.
This is another very nice scent from Ariana & Evans. The Amber being the prominent scent with an inital subtle bright floral scent from the rose , spices and tobacco are evident in the middle notes, with the rose and patchouli slightly noticable with a return to amber in the dry down. I am not a fan of strong rose or patchouli scents, although with this soap and splash, those two scents have been blended in subtly and work.

The Amber is the star of this scent giving warmth and boldness, while the spices and tobacco give liveliness, rose and patchouli add character. Overall I like this scent and am happy to use it, although I won't be using it for a date night as it lacks a little masculinity for my taste. This scent would pair well with something Neroli based, or you could try something like a sandlewood or a tobacco fragrence to add dynamics.

Happy Shaves.

Brush: Grizzly Bay with TDR Fanchurian v7
Soap: Barrister and Mann Ferox Soft Heart
Razor: Paradigm 2020 Diamondback
Blade: Gillette - Rubie (6)
Post Shave: Thayers Witch Hazel, Barrister and Mann Ferox Aftershave balm.

This was my first use of the Soft Heart base from BaM and I can report that it is absolutely excellent. It does it all, cushion and protection, slickness, an absolute load of slickness and incredible post shave feel.

Happy Saturday

I overloaded this morning, so the lather was too thick. Still had 3 great passes though.​

Saturday Shower & Str8 Shave
Pre-shave:- Shower
Brush:- Vie-Long 14025 Mix Badger and Horse Hair
Soap:- PAA - ClubGuy
Razor:- Dorko 424
Aftershave:- PAA - ClubGuy

Achieved scary sharp today with the Dorko and chromox paste on the loom strop to round out the week's shaves beautifully.
What is the dominant almost musky scent in PAA ClubGuy and Pinaud Clubman? I enjoy it's masculinity but also worry the girls may not enjoy it, maybe best kept to the club rooms

I cannot wear it around Mrs Pbgoose. I assumed that was more to do with synthetic fragrances.
Can't help you with the identification sorry.
