What's boat drinks like? Is it sickly sweet?

Stirling boat drinks is a very complex sweet scent which I can smell Banana, Coconut and Rum, there’s also something else in the background which I cannot smell from my nose. You could call it sickly sweet, but, my nose tells me isn’t sickly sweet, just sweet.

A post-vaccination shave
  • Prep: Hot Shower
  • Razor: Razorock - Lupo Aluminium
  • Razor: Yaqi - Stamford
  • Blade: Derby Usta
  • Brush: Yaqi - Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Phoenix Shaving - Awesome Sauce
  • Post-shave: Proraso - Alum Block
I received my first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination on Friday, the Pfizer (Comirnaty) vaccine. The mental relief of having some protection as a result of receiving the first dose of the vaccine has been amazing.

I swapped to Awesome Sauce from Phoenix Shaving for a change. I love using shaving soaps for two or three uses before moving on to another one in my shaving den.

I loaded the brush up with plenty of Awesome Sauce shave soap, created a lovely thick lather on the dome and softened up the soap with a small amount of water. Being only a few days since my last shave, the first pass was much more acceptable than my pre-vaccination shave. Came close to a DFS with first pass.

Continuing the shave with a creamy lather, a second pass took down the rest of the hair to an almost BBS. A few touch ups later and the head shave was a success. I really do enjoy a good head shave.

Afterwards, I swapped from the Lupo to the Stamford with the same Usta blade. Lathered up the face with Awesome Suace and a first pass with the Stamford. Not as much blad feel from the Stamford as the last shave.

A first pass removed very much all of my facial hair. A quick splash of water and another face full of lather for a second across the grain pass. A few little touch ups and being careful to avoid nicking the lump on my chin. A wonderful shave, smooth as silk and ready for another week working from home. Ughhh!
 
Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: Vintage butterscotch Simpson shaving brush
Soap/Cream: B&M Petrichor shaving soap
Razor: Rhodium Replated Vintage Gillette L1 Slim Adjustable (5)
Blade: Gillette Minora (1)
Post-shave: B&M Petrichor splash
Fragrance: N/A

Doing a test against the non-replated Slim - shave very differently!

Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Fendrihan - 26mm synthetic
Soap/Cream: Proraso - Cypress & Vetiver
Razor: Wolfman - WR2 / WRH7
Blade: Feather - Hi-Stainless (7)
Post-shave: Fine - Fresh Vetiver AS / Proraso - Cypress & Vetiver AS balm

2 pass WTG daily shave = DFS+. Increased efficiency of this razor delivered a closer shave. The blade struggled on my chin area on the first pass, and the blade felt a little nippy. I am at my maximum shaves achieved from a Feather blade. Hmmm push on or bin it?

Bin it, not bloody worth it when using a feather blade.

Lifes to short for sub-par shaves, bin it.
