SOTD "British Razors" Theme Week 14-20 July 2014

Gentlemen,

This week's, it's time to break out your British razors. For me, that means my Gillette British Aristocrat #15. Unfortunately, it is in Northeast Ohio and I'm in Southwest Florida. To make matters worse, I can't get my photo to upload from where I'm at. I'll make up for it later this week when I get back home. Today's shave:

Wee Scot
La Toja
Ball-end Tech/ Shark SS
Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Amouage Homage

Great midnight shave.

Hot shower, Earthly Delight shampoo,face as well
Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food, pre-shave
Coates Rose Cream
WD silvertip
Utilemud bowl
Utopia DE razor, $11, Amazon
Astra blade, new, first time using
Cold rinse
Alum block
Cold rinse
4711 cologne as a splash
Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food

I'll have to try this combo with the Fatboy, but a great close shave, almost BSB. The Utopia was responsive. 2 passes + clean-up. Coates better than before. OK aroma, not very rosy, but great thick lather.

Monday

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Bath Soap
Soap: Stirling Port-au-Prince
Razor: Gillette 40’s Style Super Speed
Blade: Personna Med Prep (6)
Brush: oscar11 TGN 2-Band Finest-24mmx50mm
Aftershave: Fine Platinum

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

I pulled out my new sample puck of Stirling Port-au-Prince. Excellent 6[SUP]th[/SUP] shave with the SS and Med Prep. I finished up with Fine Platinum.
