Shave of the Day Thread - 2018

[Pbgoose]

Soap: Soap by Luna - Vetiver
Brush: Vulfix Travel/Boar
Razor: Gillette Rocket HD
Blade: Dorco ST-301 (3)
Post: Jojoba Oil
Nice combo with Luna's soap and the Rocket this morning, and the Dorco works well in the Rocket though I might pack the R41 next trip. The Rocket isn't quite aggressive enough so requires a bit more work with clean up passes. New bowl worked well especially with the smaller brush.

Still can't figure out how to upload pictures

But today, a few hours ago I used my Gillette Red Tip with a Gillette Silver Blue blade, my omega brush (still trying to improve my technique) and with some basic aftershave. And it did BITE. But it was a great bite

Wait until you figure it out but don’t resize it...

For images, I find it best to upload the photo on Imgur, copy the link and paste it into the 'Images' button - just to the right of the smiley face as you're typing out a post.

Soap: crown king the kiss
Razor:6s(4)
Blade: treet platinum
Post: CK the kiss splash/Apr fbr EDP
Nice shave leaving maybe enough soap in the tub for one or two more shaves tops.surprised by how good the treet blades are for the first 2 shaves before dying rapidly.the kiss and fbr work together very well I think the powdery scent is what brings them together.

I don't think is going to happen, not for a while, but is possible. I strongly believe Karved is going to kick Rockwell very quickly before they react too quick

IMHO The 6C/6S are still great razor's for the price but the market is always adapting and the Karve is a great alternative, all be it slightly more expensive as you need to purchase plate's seperately. The Karve offers a more efficient shave but I'm still happy with my 6S as a daily driver. Rockwell's problems are the TTO which has failed miserably...

What's your thoughts on the soap and splash @Bozley82?

Apologies for the late reply.
Thoughts are extremely positive. The new soap base is easily as good as b&m, Declaration, Wholly Kaw etc with equally great scents, I'd call this one spicy orange and the splashes are moisturizing without feeling greasy or sticky. Good stuff.

Another suggestion is to use http://postimages.org - choose 640x480 (for message boards) and attach the link via the image icon (next the smiley face). Either way works so good luck and look forward to seeing your pic's

Pre-shave: Shower, Bloom water
Brush: Razorock Monster
Soap: Wolfpac Alpha Male
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Derby Extra (1)
Post-shave: Cold water splash, Alum, Nivea 2 phase, Gucci Guilty



My first ever DE shave and my birthday to boot! If it's only going to get better from here on in you can count me in. Got a bit of razor burn, no nicks, as good as any shave I've had with cartridge and I found the angle pretty easy to keep though a little tricky going from chin to neck.

Pre Shave: Warm water. Crew shave oil.
Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley Razor D
Blade: Astra green (1)
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk1.
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic.
Soap: Mikes Barber Shop
Post: Witch Hazel.

The D plate mowed down two day stubble with ease. Two passes and touch up, BBS. However I feel the C plate will be the ideal daily driver.

Hi Nightguard, how did the treet blade perform?

Hi Nightguard, how did the treet blade perform?

Very nicely. Smooth and sharp. Usually get 5 shaves out of them.

Wow awesome. It's like shaving with a glass of Lagavulin.

The splash I did not find as peaty as the soap and EdT. Which I like.

The misses scrunched her nose up at it, which is a shame but I'm hoping it will grow on her.

A question for the Fenchurch users that got this one. Is the whiskey note in Fenchurch peaty like this?
