Shave of the Day Thread - 2021

[SpeedyPC]

Oh mate, I PROMISE I will give some feedback on it tomorrow once I've had a couple of uses out of it.

Just having some fun

 

[Straight up]

RAZOR: Thiers Issard
CREAM: Proraso Red
BRUSH: Mason Pearson Pure Badger knot
STROP: Dovo hanging strop
AFTERSHAVE: Proraso red

24 hours of anticipation paid off, pisser of a shave today.

 

[Razor Burn]

Brush: Alpha Shaving Brushes Kryten Titanium 28mm UHD Badger
Razor: Rocca V4 R94
Blade: Muhle (2)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Cella Red
Post: Nivea 2 Phase A/S Lotion
WTG, ATG, Touchups = BBS

I made sure to give the new brush a good clean and shampooing to remove the badger funk and with a few more lathers the smell should dissipate. I'm really impressed with the fit, finish, nice weight of the brush handle and the knot has plenty of density which I prefer in my badger knots.
Another enjoyable shave with the Muhle blade and Cella Red provides nice lather with a pleasant scent.
Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

What’s that weird funky wet smell coming all the way from Canberra, smells like you’re running out of toilet paper.

No worries, just grab your toothbrush and your favourite toothpaste. Don’t brush your teeth afterwards, soak your toothbrush in bleach and it’s ready to clean your teeth again.

Well @SpeedyPC ...

with lather shots here.

Still preliminary thoughts - the Classic works OK, I still find that I cannot get synthetic brushes to 'hold' the lather like a badger.

Hope that helps

Whilst I must always take care with this razor, I was rewarded with BBS after two lovely slow passes.​

Does the 21/46mm synthetic knot feels too tight and too springy when you face lather. I’m fully aware that synthetic doesn’t hold lather like @Razor Burn wet funky fart smelling badger brush, without any toilet rolls in the same Canberran Territory as you @Mark1966.
