Shave of the Day Thread - 2021

The Go Beyond Brush B13.
I ordered a Jefferington Go Beyond in a B14. Your SOTD confirms I made the right decision.

I was close to ordering a Merman Jeffington but held strong. The Go Beyond pour is stunning in person. Photos don’t show it’s beauty.

Nice! It’s a beautiful pour, looks 100x better in person and B14 sounds like great hair as well. Can’t wait to receive mine.

Pre-shave:- Shower
Brush:- Vie-Long 22mm Brown Horse Hair
Soap:- GEO.F.Trumper's - Spanish Leather
Razor:- Solingen Best Quality Silver Steel
Aftershave:- Santa Maria Del Fiore Lozione Dopo-Barba By RazoRock

GFT developed a wonderful thick lather that provided a beautiful slick shave
I have struggled to get a good edge on the Solingen Best Quality Silver Steel. Every other attempt has resulted in the blade being returned to the stones even though it was tree topping hairs.
This may be 3rd or 4th attempt honing this blade and finally got a nice edge and comfortable shave from it. I am giving credit to the newly acquired JNAT Nakayama Kyoto Shouhonyama Kanmaki​

I do love these evocative Japanese names. Even if they do translate as "chunk of rock from where my mate Yoshi stopped to have a piss".

(It is a beautiful stone BTW )

SOTWeekend...

Pre-shave: Hot water, Pears soap
Brush: Forgotten Art "Southern Skies" 30mm Snow Leopard
Soap: Czech & Speake - Oxford & Cambridge (Valobra)

Post-shave: Shower, homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+, Czech & Speake - Oxford & Cambridge Cologne
COTD: Mocha Ismaili, Yemen

Image recycled to save electrons. And because this is becoming a regular weekend treat. Interesting that a soap that initially inspired a "meh" reaction when I first sniffed it off the puck has become a top favourite. I can't say for sure why, but these hard milled soaps make it so easy to get a super-close DBS.

I finished the week of working through my English matching seven-day set of straight razors with face-lathered tallow Tabac.

​

For the first time, I have worked through one of my sets and found that all edges are of equal high quality. None of them need any extra work.

Next week will be with my T.R. Cadman "Bengall" straight razor set face lathering with ARKO.

EDP: Southern Witchcrafts - Gravefruit II

Banger scent on this one, Shawn has outdone himself once again.
I mainly pickup grapefruit and cedar followed by freesia, yuzu and tridecanal.
The EDP smells a bit cheap and synthetic, it’s not something I’d wear out but nice for around the house.

MOM!! Daddy is smoking fart tobacco again, it's pretty bad.

Almost my earliest memory: the smell of my Dad's Erinmore (always flake) pipe tobacco. When I smoked a pipe, that was never my choice, but there's a special place in my memory for that scent.
