Shave of the Day Thread - 2022

[SpeedyPC]

Unfortunately that real life QLD example of the Ettamogah Pub is no more. They modernised it recently into something far more conventional. Newly named "Banana Bender Pub", out front of little theme park "Aussie World"

That building in the background reminds me of the Ettamogah pub.

Sadly not familiar with that one.

Pre-shave:- Shower
Brush:- Troycraft Bold'as'Brass
Soap:- Blue Devil Bay
Razor:- "Brassed out" Gillette Single Ring
Blade:- Wizamet (5)
Aftershave:- Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood

Must be one of the thinnest razor heads in existence. The sweet spot is so easy to find in-between teeth and cap where the blade sits
1 x WTG = DFS need some regrowth for tomorrow morning's shave

Using some old stuff here. I have loads of Mike’s soaps from way back. They are so good with the tallow base. Anyone know if he still making soaps?
The old Gillette with the “Super Iridium” is a great pairing. Is this the blade you guys refer to as the “Wizamet”? Where can I buy some of those?
I got a batch of Nacets recently through Amazon. They’re excellent too (after trying samples from @Holiday)

Mike's Natural Soap is good stuff as thirsty but well worth the effort as slick and luscious lather!
I believe he no longer sells them in the tin with refills available locally from Vshod as @Mark1966 mentioned.

Australasian Post magazine was a staple in Australian barber shops during the second half of the 20th century.

I think you need to be an Aussie who is at least 50 years of age to have any familiarity with it. My kids wouldn't have a clue, wouldn't have heard of it.

Thanks. I feel better now. I can add that to the long list of things that I have no clue about.

@Wilkshire13 the head design doesn’t look very good shaving under the bloody nose, it’s okay for your hairy chest, head and your pinky little willy.
Otherwise this type of head design isn’t suitable for me as a travel razor, might be suitable for @Mark1966
