SOTD – Sat 24 Dec 2022​

Tis the Night before Xmas ...

SOTD-20221224-setup.png


Shaving with my current “Kill-soap” TOBS Platinum cream, which has just a few shaves left. The Yaqi “Tile” razor has a SS machine finished head which does drag a bit, the razor gives a clean close shave though, I need to polish the head, that should smooth out the shaving experience.


The Gear:​

  • Pre Shave: Lucky Tiger Liquid Shave cream
  • Brush: Fuko Shaving “Triffid” with 26/58 Cashmere [A]
  • Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street - Platinum Cream
  • Bowl: Whispers From The Woods [A]
  • Razor: Yaqi “Tile” SS head with classic Barber handle
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
  • Splash: TN Dickinsons Witch Hazel with Menthol & Tea-tree oil
  • Balm: Natio Men Calming After Shave [A]
  • After Shave: Imperial Leather AS
  • Moisturiser: Nivea Men Creme (Face-Body-Hands)
[A] = Australian Made

That brush looks great. He does some outstanding work with his resin pouring. (y)

Is the shaving soap scent similar to the EDC?

Pre-shave: Hot flannel, Pears soap
Brush: TroyCraft "Vazon Forest" 28mm AP G5C

Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline
Post-shave: Shower, Castle Forbes Lavender balm, homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+, Oxford & Cambridge cologne
COTD: Mocha Ismaili, Yemen

It's kind of interesting that the fabled Yardley soap, out of production for decades, still crops up for sale occasionally. Not so with O&C. It's just gone, all gone, even though it's only been 2 years or so since Valobra closed their doors. I absolutely love this stuff, so it's just as well I have another 6 pucks (plus 1½ of unscented Valobra) to keep me going for a few years.

I find the 34C with GSB an extremely comfortable irritation-free smooth shave, not an extremely comfortable irritation-free sharp buttery smooth shave as the Gillette Nacet.
