Shave of the Day Thread - 2019

[SpeedyPC]

The Arko performed well, apart from having a nothing smell

You've been smelling way too many carrots for a very long long time rabbit, because, your nose is not sensitive enough.

KarveD w/Polsilver
Yaqi silvertip HD 24mm
Washpool Farm - un-scented lanolin
Gaia ASB

I love this brush! It's so plush and packed very densely! I had requested an extra dense knot when I ordered this and Yaqi obliged for a nominal additional cost (I am a very loyal customer with around 30 of their brushes).
This thing is dense, plush and just gorgeous!

Does it lather up better than a synthetic?...No! But it's my favorite silvertip badger brush.

The Washpool un-scented was great! No skin inflammation today.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Savile Row 3824 Silvertip Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Perma-Sharp Super (1)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Chanel Pour Monsieur

There is a reason why Tabac soap is a legend that has stood the test of time - consistent excellence in performance.
Very comfortable shave - three passes for a DFS+ result. For me, the Merkur Futur on setting 2 is slightly less aggressive than my ATT SE1.

Razor: Ever Ready 1912 GEM
Blade: GEM (1)
Post: Jojoba Oil
AS: Pb TOL
I haven't used the Ever Ready for a while as I've been favouring the Sabre but what a treat that was. Shave of the week for me so far. My skin is still catching up from visiting Weeperville and the Ever Ready was perfect balance of mildness and efficiency so as to not irritate but give a great shave. Have a great Friday fellas.
