Saturday SOTD

RR Hawk OC SE
Shick Proline p30
TroyCraft 26mm 2-Band badger
Blue Devil Lavander Patch Soap/Balm combo


Awesome shave with the RR hawk + proline blade, quite smooth and took care on two days growth no worries.. really enjoying this razor as it provides a 'different' shave than normal.. its def an enjoyable razor to be kept in circulation but no way will it take over DE razors..

Took the Blue Devil balm for a spin, and went on like any other balm.. oily and greasy, but to my amazement the balm got pretty much all soaked up leaving behind and amazingly soft post shave face feel without grease.. scent is killer. Certainly enjoyed this balm, which is a first for me.

Alpha Outlaw DE Aggressive plate.

Looks similar to the DE89 head but shaves more like a Rocca with a super shiny finish and hefty weighted handle. Also got great knurling to it that's up there with iKon's handles.

Sunday SOTD

Timeless T95
German Wiklie
TroyCraft Olympiakos 2-Band Badger
Blue Devil LUST Soap / Splash

The German Wikllie and Timeless combined perfectly well for a super smooth shave.. Prob the best blade I have trialled in the timeless to date.

I just had to take the LUST soap/splash combo for a run.. After the shave I applied the splash and totally forgot there was no alcohol.. I was expecting that lovely burn that comes from booze filled splashes but alas.. there was none

It also didnt feel like a 'splash', but more like a liquid balm and it went on the skin with a similair oily feel of a balm but with more of liquid feel rather than a cream..

regardless, waited a few minutes and again, like the balm the solution was fully absorbed leaving behind a bloody amazing post shave feel.. so soft and supple, the perfect compliment to the BBS feel.

Scent on the LUST splash was spot on, not overpowering but plenty enough to know its there and I have to say i love this scent.

SOTD
Rocca R95
German Wilkie
Zenith 24mm Boar
Blue Devil LUST soap/splash

It was so good yesterday, I had to do it again

@CraigE a big thumbs up to you on your balm and splashes. Both the splash and balm were applied on stinking hot days so were tested well, both were fully absorbed and left the skin feeling amazing.. great work

Millions of men shave with it every day. It can't be that bad.

This week I am shaving my way through my English M7DS with Gillette foam (Australia). Wish me luck.

The razor is a Ralph Aust 4/8. I a did a touch up on this small surgical black Arkansas and this was the smoothest shave that I have had with this razor

Nah both splash and balm are great. Balm I have never liked cos it left my skin oily and I only have alcohol splashes at home. The end result is brilliant post shave feel and the scents are
