SOTD - December 2021

[Dave in KY]

Its going to be a struggle to post any decent pictures this month as i am running out my unmentionables. Saying that, i need to get posting again so bear with me. On a positive note, January is usually my Vintage month so there will be plenty to see then.

Pre - Shower
Brush - Zenith 506 Copper 28mm
Soap - Arran soap Co. Machrie
Razor - Unmentionable
Blade - Nothing to see here
Post - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm - Arran soap Co. Machrie
A/S - Arran soap Co. Machrie



This morning i nudged the unmentionable to # 2.5 for the last shave with this blade, again just a 2 pass shave today, WTG and a sort of ATG - XTG mixed pass. I am amazed at how well the blade feels today, so smooth and it has given me a wonderfully comfortable shave, so much so it is not getting binned, it will be put in another razor for another run out.
I do like these Arran products and i really should use them more, a great set of scents and a very nice lather, what's not to like? I keep changing my favourite from one to another and it changes each time i use them.
It is always a joy to use this unmentionable, a top quality, luxury bit of kit, although it has a rep for being aggressive, i don't get that at all, mild at the bottom settings and very very efficient at the top setting, i do believe that is what an adjustable is supposed to do.
I really did enjoy that!

Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Is that Zenith a horse or synthetic?

So you may have seen a theme as you read down the list of what was used......................what, you didn't read it? I'll wait while you go check it out................Back now ? Good ! Yep, Dragonsbeard is my FAVORITE scent and we have a few of Frank's products in this scent as well as a bunch of other scents. Happy to have V3 in his own soap base now. I noticed that if Frank would come out with his own SS Razor, some blades and a Witch Hazel I would have all categories covered. Took the day off from boars because I MUST use the Dragonsbeard brush when I use this setup. I had a TREMENDOUS shave and smell even BETTER. I never do it but may need to groundhog day this setup tomorrow. Have a great weekend folks !!

So is the dragonsbeard a Dragons blood scented product? Or is it just a cool name?

The owner of Ethos has just always liked dragons and it was his initial scent he came up with. No not dragons blood scent. You can Google it to get the scent notes as I don't have them handy.
