Shave of the Day Thread - 2021

[JVS]

I don’t really like the Tatara handles (except for the Muramasa one so I’ve ‘borrowed’ the handle from my AS-D2 for today’s shave with the Nodachi. Much better

Pre-shave:- Shower
Brush:- Troycraft - Kakadu Gold custom 24mm Fan
Soap:- Murphy & McNeil - Gael Luc
Razor:- Haircut & Shave Co. N075
Blade:- Gillette - Nacet (3)
Aftershave:- Murphy & McNeil - Gael Luc

I don't need an excuse to reach for the Kakadu Gold but a matching label will definitely do it

I was in too much of a rush this morning to take a pre-shave pic but a very enjoyable shave none the less using this setup...

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

A&E London Gin Club / Yaqi Moka / Gillette British Rocket HD / Gillette Platinum (1)

Always an excellent shave with the Platinum in any of my vintage non-adjustable TTOs.

Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Billygoat Brushworks - B1 28mm tuxedo
Soap/Cream: Caties Bubbles - Two to Mango
Razor: Wolfman WR2/WRH7 (1.45)
Blade: Gillette Stainless (Red White) (16)
Post-shave: Caties Bubbles - Two to Mango AS splash / A&E skin food nourshing cream

2 pass WTG = DFS+. Finally able to test out the Wolfman vs 5 days growth. Exceptional shave. The Gillette Stainless (red & white) was a perfect match, smooth and efficient shave with zero irritation or issues.

Survived Tassie - so has to do all this again!

What is it with Kunanyi / Mount Wellington though -

Wind chill of 12.8 degrees - and I only had a polo shirt!

Mind you, glad we didn't go the next morning to see dawn break -

(this is December - right?)

 

[Nanook]

Razor: Muhle R89 - My first safety razor after ditching disposables.
Pre Shave: Long Rifle Hunting Lodge Beard oil
Soap: Long Rifle Hunting Lodge
Post: Long Rifle Hunting Lodge Splash

Long Rifle soaps for me, are like The Chiselled Face soaps, there are better products out there but I love their scents so I really enjoy using them.

These big rocks generate their own weather. In Hobart, you get used to rain falling from a completely clear sky on the calmest days, and here under Dry's Bluff in the North we get tornadoes that destroy everything you build, while 10km away they'll hear the storm, but it's completely calm.

Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 off a clean leather strop, face lathered using a Chinese synthetic brush.

All went well.

Brush:- Troycraft - Mink Nebula
Soap:- Blue Devil Shaving Co - The Lavender Patch
Razor:- Haircut & Shave Co. N075
Blade:- Gillette - Nacet (4)
Aftershave:- Blue Devil Shaving Co - The Lavender Patch

Lavender patch is a delightful scent, I can detect all three scents Lavender, Bergamot and Orange coming through.
The witch hazel aftershave did not feel oily at all and was soaked up before I had finished ceremonious ablutions

Amen to that, yesterdays work was spent dodging rain, mental wind storm and enjoying the sun all in the space of 20min.
Currently nursing a golf ball from having the door of an electrical board whoop my head before I got mad and took it off.

My first SOTD post in ages. Trying to recall how to post images here. I’ve got Imgur, PostImage and Google photos setup. Tried using Postimage here but it seems my forum privileges need some time to renew. Unable to add an image for now. Anyway - Do I pick the “direct link” or “thumbnail” option or something else? Which image posting method works best and is the most streamlined? Any tips would be appreciated.

Soap: A&E Spartacus
Brush: Simpsons Duke 2 Best
Razor: Merkur Progress #5
Blade: Astra green
Post: Alum, Spartacus AS splash
Fragrance: Acqua Di Parma Blue Mediterraneo
