Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
ARKO Shaving Cream
Semogue Excelsior 1305 Boar 
GEM G-bar
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Clubman After Shave

The ARKO Shaving Cream lathered well with the Semogue Excelsior 1305 Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM G-bar Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Lazy Sunday Afternoon SOTD 30-Jul-23

Razor : Asylum Injector
Blade : Schick Proline B20 (5)
Soap : Tabac New Formula
Brush : Shave Supply / Trotter 26 mm 2 band manchurian fan knot
Post shave : Alum + Tabac AS balm
Shave Music : Sisters of mercy - gimme shelter.

Skipped a shave yesteday, and a lazy late afternoon shave today with the Asylum Injector razor with the Schick Proline B20 blade.

An excellent 10/10 shave. Enjoying the razor tremendously after spending time with it to get the angle right.

The shave quality of a thick blade like thr Injector is another level. Let's see how many shaves I get off this blade. I would be most content with 5 shaves. Anything more would be a bonus. I'll be using this razor more with the vegan Tabac.

The shave Supply / Trotter handle shave brush "Gothic" with a 26mm 2 band manchurian badger knot. I bought it in July last year for my birthday, and it has stayed in the other shave den without being used.

Brought it out today, gave it a good detergent wash to get rid of the funky stuff and the smell.

Wonderful 26mm fan manchurian knot. Extremely dense and soft. A pleasure to lather the Vegan Tabac. It took me multiple loads as is the case with Tabac and a dense badger knot.

A luxury shave !

Enjoy your Sunday Gents.
