Shave of the Day Thread - 2021

[MadFlava81]

Cheers! His definitely a talented perfumer. I got YRP in today and was worried that i wouldn’t like it due to the rose but turned out loving it. How’s La Petite Prairie?

YRP is great, I recently got the EDT, and I also have an almost finished tub of the soap. I kind of like the soap version of the scent better.

The only way I can describe LPP is a more fruity and smoky version of Vetiver by Guerlain. I like it a lot. If you are interested I could trade a soap sample of it for a sample of Fougère Nemeta?

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: @TroyTools 26mm boar shaving brush
Soap/Cream: Declaration Grooming / Chatillon Lux Weinstrasse shaving soap
Razor: Muhle R95 Rocca Birch Bark handle
Blade: Iridium Super (7)
Post-shave: Declaration Grooming / Chatillon Lux Weinstrasse splash

So very nice. Good scritch as you would expect from a new boar, very different to my vintage Simpson boar, and a little funk, but that will fade. Can't wait until tomorrow's shave.

Razor: ATT Windsor Pro SB90
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Yellow (1)
Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Teacher’s Pet
Post: Barrister and Mann - Reserve Waves Aftershave

Nice crisp apple scent in this soap. I might be wrong, but I think this scent will be discontinued. Oh well, I guess I have an unobtainium in my den!

Beautiful weather here today. Turn off that damn TV and radio, and go out and enjoy the day!

Fantastic piece of music. I could listen to Bill Evans all day.

Telstra should use that music for customers on hold. It may actually lower the blood pressure, and inhibit swear words at consultant's in overseas call centres.

A very nice looking brush to match its badger big brother

Pre: Hot Shower
Brush: Dscosmetic T4
Soap: Truefitt & Hill 1805 sample I randomly found
Razor: Gillette G2 Fatboy
Blade: Astra Super Stainless (1)
Post: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner, Nivea Skin & Stubble

For all the drama this Fatboy has caused me, I actually had a decent shave. The gap it's stuck in is in my preferred range of aggression, and is about the same as 7-8 on the slim. A tad rough, but I think that's normal for fatboy in the upper range? Also could be the old Astra blade that came with him. If I had paid what it was actually worth in this state, I might have been satisfied. But as it is, it's gonna take a trip into the loving hands of @Ferret619 for him to have his way with.

Also, relived some childhood trauma in 4k this arvo.

Lovely. Freehand forging was always where it's at for me, and that's a great piece of work.
