Shave of the Day Thread - 2023

[SpeedyPC]

Saturday 23 September 2023

A wonderful shave with my custom made S.K. Colling 7/8 Spanish point SR, La Troja soap and Simpson Special Best Badger. Steve makes a wonderful razor. If you get the opportunity get one!

Is that a 22mm special?

No. It is one that I had custom made for me to my personal requirements.

BlackBird SS
German Wilkie
TroyCraft 26mm Boar 'Nebula'
Tabac soap & splash
Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel

Another incredible shave thanks to the BlackBird in combination with my favourite soap of all time, Tabac!!!

The boar is stating to feel a bit softer, started off as a broom stick. Looking forward to when it truly breaks in

Go easy with Tabac as the weather gets warmer, and you’ll end up like Pepé Le Pew.

reality check for U here speedy.. my wife doesn't like most of my scents (my daughter loves most).. but the missus doesn't and one of the very few she does like is tabac

additional side note.. I love my shed, got my guitars, bouzouki a, pool table, air conditioning, tv, PlayStation, home office and all my beloved shave gear..

all I need here is a fridge and loo and am set, so if I ever got banished I would not shed a tear
