Stellar!
My daughter (if you haven't worked it out yet) is into dragons. I had not completed my SOTD for today before she came home from shopping with this fine specimen. Was purely coincidence I had used Drachenblut today.

Welcome home Dad, can you please give me $600 so I can get myself a Wolfman, because, I’ve don’t have any organs left to sell for a Wolfman.

By the way, how’s the smoke haze in ACT??

Brush: RR 400
Razor: Leaf Razor
Blade: Gillette Nacet (1)
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira's Destructible Shaving Bowl
Soap: APR Coolabah LE
Post: APR Passione splash

A refreshing SOTD with the Leaf Razor. First impressions are similar to other users. The head is quite large and makes shaving under the nose/top lip area awkward. My bundle never came with the Twig so I was forced to use a cart to touch up this area After 3 simple passes I achieved a smooth DFS and I can see this being a good day to day shaver when in a rush. I look forward to giving it a go on the noggin Wednesday... Happy shaves!

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Antica Barbieria Colla Almond Oil Pre-Shave Cream
Brush: Shavemac 3-band Silvertip Badger
Soap: Czech & Speake No 88
Razor: UFO Tornado / Wolfman WR1
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna Super Platinum Chrome (3)
Post: Antica Barbieria Colla Almond Oil Balm
Scent: Floris No 89

Three passes for very close shave. Enjoyed the newly acquired Shavemac brush very much.
WIth even the best blades, you occasionally get a less than optimal example. The vintage Personna SPC is my favourite blade, and normally buttery smooth, but this example is a smidgen rough, and hence I've binned it.

Pre-shave: Shower/Proraso Green Pre-shave
Brush: BSB Spain 24mm
Soap: Proraso Green Eucalyptus & Menthol Shaving Cream
Razors: Timeless 0.68 SB - Scalloped Head
Blade: Astra SP (4)
Post-shave: Proraso Green Aftershave Balm

Enjoying tingle of pre-shave and soap but scent doesn't last 5 minutes. Does Aftershave Lotion last any longer?
The Timeless is providing very comfortable and smooth shaves. This thing does not have a "bad" angle, and seems to perform just as efficiently whether riding the cap or base plate.

Pre: Beers + Ouzo
Status: Half Pissed
Razor: 1973 Gillette Black Beauty
Blade: Feather

Soap: Stirling Executive Man

Yeah a drunken shave, not highly recommended but fun nevertheless…

Got delivery of my birth year razor a Gillette 1973 super speed ‘black beauty’. The condition of this razor is amazing, looks great too. Loaded the black beauty with a feather and after a final shot of ouzo proceeded with the shave.

Started on 6 for the first two passes WTG, XTG and set it to 8 for the ATG pass.

A few weepers (one nice one on my top lip) later I toned it back down to setting 6 for a clean-up ATG pass. Got a very close and mainly smooth shave but I do feel some burn on my top lip.

All in all a great first time shave with the black beauty, but I don’t recommend shaving pissed!!!

Congrats on the birth year razor, she look like a beauty and the spit looks delectable.
Half pissed, new razor, feather and highest setting. Lucky you still have nostrils, top lip and ear lobes after that combination
