SOTD – Sun.15Dec2024

Shave Report: Scent described as: “Is Ozonic and Balsamic, it warms to Oak, Hawthorn, cyclamen with lingering Violet , sandalwood, patchouli, cloves and musk.” The soap’s texture is medium soft croap and it produced a rich creamy medium density lather with excellent overall performance soap, the lather felt like moisturiser when painting on the face. From the lather I get a very pleasant floral with woods and some herbal aroma, scent strength 6/10. Just a wonderful smooth clean 2-pass shave (plus clean ups) shave from the easy going Henson & Dorco blade combo.

The Gear:
  • Pre Shave: Imperial Glycerine Soap for Shave/Face
  • Brush: Semogue 1305 with Premium 22/55 Boar knot
  • Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing 75th Anniversary Shaving Soap - Witch Hazel and Oak
  • Bowl: SS Noodle bowl with Non-slip Shower Sticker
  • Razor: Henson AL13 Medium ++ (39gm with blade; 0.85 mm Blade Gap; 0.058 mm Blade Exposure)
  • Blade: Dorco Titan, made in Vietnam (3)
  • Astringent: TN Dickinsons Witch Hazel with T.Tree oil & Menthol Crystals
  • Balm: Nivea Men Sensitive Pro Anti Skin Stress Facial Balm
  • After Shave Splash: Proraso (Red) Sandalwood AS Lotion
  • Moisturiser (Later): Nivea Men - Anti-Irritation AS Lotion
