Shave of the Day Thread - 2018

[TomG]

The Cologne Russe is a superb autumn scent - a bit much in warmer weather for me.

That's just how I feel - perfect just now, and into winter.

 

[Snooze]

LPL / Semo Boar / Blackbird OC + Feather 4 / APR 'Suitable Attired Summer' + Green Irish Tweed EDT

Still feels like Summer in Sydney today (29 degrees) ... so slick LPL lather and three swoops of the Blackbird and on with the SAS and GIT. Should help get me through Friday

Have a great day and enjoy the weekend ​

I wonder if it could be done mmmm

Rockwell R4 w/Polsilver
EJ silvertip fibre V1 23mm
SV felce aromatica
Nivea sensitive splash w/hyaluronic acid serum

I lightly loaded for just 15 seconds and still couldn't get enough water into the lather.
I reckon SV is the most efficient and economical soap in existence!

I don't think I'll repurchase the nivea splash...It's non alcoholic but basically feels like I'm splashing scented water.

I'll stick with the Anherb balm as my sole aftershave product.

Like to see that in your next SOTD please

 

[sealer]

PRE: Myrsol emulsion
razor: Seygus extrem with Astra Green
brush: yaqi sagrada familia
soap: Extro Arancia ?Italiana
splash: Beaver Woodwright Thomas Tew (now rebranded as Black Ship)

Nice shave but it is mostly a summer combo. Don't care much, but It won't be regularly around at least while being too cold.

Soap: Pb Puck No:1
Brush: Vulfix Travel
Razor: Black Hawk
Blade: Feather Pro Super
Still one of my favourite soaps. Definitely remaking this when it runs out. Haven't used the Vulfix for ages and it did a great job on the puck lathering. After 11 hours travelling I'm glad to be calling it quits for the night. @Arnold J Rimmer - struck out at the Cann River Antique shop. Maybe try again tomorrow in Gippsland.
Fair bit cooler down here. First time I've pulled out a hoodie in a long time. @sealer just about wave at you from across the water.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Baum.be pre-shave gel
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus
Soap: Martin de Candre Fougère
Razor: UFO Goliath / ATT SE1
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (1)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion / APR Lavande violette spash
Scent: Caron Le 3' Homme

First use of the MDC soap. Very impressed. Lather was very creamy and persistent throughout the shave, and I loved the scent - what I'd describe as a nostalgic fougère. Three passes and a buff for a DFS+.
I did the sniff test through my splashes, and the one that jumped out as a good match for the soap scent was the APR Lavande violette. Likewise with the beautiful Caron Le 3' Homme EdT to finish.

 

[Sticky]

Brush: Semogue 620
Soap: Arko
Razor: Fat Boy
Blade : Silver Star
Post: Protect and Care
So I happened across some Arko in Priceline for $4.95 and thought I should give it a go. The scent is not as unpleasant as I have heard some report, though nothing special. Lathered easily but lacked slickness which I really missed on the touch ups. All in all it works fine and good for travel.​

Meh, I’d built myself up that I was going to get a lovely deep Black tea with sweet succulent plum punching through. I had high hopes for this, meh.
