SOTD 5-4-15


Razor: ATT H1 plate with MR1 handle
Blade: Platinum Lux (4)
Soap: WSP Vetiver
Bowl: Shaveworks
Brush: Tweezerman
Post: Gentleman Jon Alum block


Preshave was just face wash with warm water and post shave was rinse with warm water then some cold water splashes and pat dry, then apply the alum block


Razor: As usual, no complaints! I am liking the H! plate alot!


Blade: This is a very good blade and one of my main go-to's so no issues at all!


Soap: First time with this soap and I think I like it. It lathered easy and got plenty of it for my three passes and almost no touch up. Great slickness and protection! Post shave feel is real good! The scent seems very mild to me to the point where I can't really even notice it even right from the puck at first sniff but I prefer mild strength scents! No issues at all!

Bowl: I wish the bowl I picked up was wide enough at the bottom to hold a puck or sample size puck for trying out soaps. I didnt think about that when purchased and regret it. Not sure if one like that is available or not!


Comments: Shave was very good and very close. I got a DFS easily and a BBS on most places but part of the neck area. No nick or irritation based on the Aum block. Another very good shave with no issues!


Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!


Thx.

 

[Four for Luck]

I have just joined.
I was re-itroduced to wet shaving at an Art of Shaving store in 'Vegas while taking my wife to see Elton John. My old electric had been failing to give a decent shave for years.
Today was my fifth day of wet shaving. I am using a '54 Gillette Super Speed I resurrected from an estate sale (thanks B&B threads), on my second Derby blade, a Vulfix 1000 brush, and TAOS preshave and cream.
My shaves have gotten better each time!! The first was superior to the old electric in EVERY way.

Sir Mike, there is an eBay seller offering hammered and dimpled copper shave bowls, with an indent suitable for a small soap puck, works nicely.
