Thread: Sun November 18th - Sat November 24th

Well, I used the trusty ole' Invicta, MWF and Kyoku ASB for a decent save tonight. It was needed after a craptactular day where I had a student telling me how to do my job. So I replied by telling her, in a very kind way, she was a crappy student.

Been a while since I last posted in the SOTD thread, and indeed I've been mostly shaving in the shower with a 1966 Gillette Slim adjustable but it was my birthday today so I decided to indulge myself and also test the camera on my new phone.

Razor: Unbranded shoulderless German, probably sold as s souvenir but it holds an edge which is hard to beat.
Soap: Nanny's Rasage Traditionnel, one of the the best soaps around and an artisan soap at that.
Brush: Simpson 57, a gift some time ago from a true gentleman.
Post:Alum then Pashana Original, it might be a cheap aftershave but its still my favourite.

No shaving related presents, I have far too much stuff already. However I did receive a hi-vis coat as I'm spending a lot of time walking down rural lanes in the dark and at dusk taking the dog from fields to have a run about. The downside is that it makes me look like a traffic cop, on the plus side I can have hours of fun standing at the side of the road pointing a hair drier at passing motorists.

My 10 year old daughter made me some fabulous chocolate cup cakes, I think 'll have one now.

Happy Birthday Nic

Tuesday

Excellent shave with the Jernbolaget this morning. A nice edge on this razor and a nice shape. It’s no beauty but it performs well. I should replace the scales really, but I don’t want to as I think they’re reasonably rare-ish. Body Shop Macca Root was a good choice for a cream, as always. I applied Bay Rum ritual to hair and skin.

It was a pretty warm 36 degrees today; so the lunch time workout was hard, however I still increased reps on most exercises. There were a few fires burning tonight as I left work, but none near here; most caused by lightening strikes. When I got home I found the power was out, with still enough power available on the lap top to type my SOTD post. So I may be in for a frugal tea and a boring night…

(PS, clearly the power is back on...)

Today:
Thiers Issard

Proraso pre|G5|Thater|Pannacrema|Invicta|Proraso AS|EMJ Lotion

Victory! Finally dialed in this razor, it has a wicked warp and hard steel but well worth the effort. For the first time in 3 years I went without shaving for 3 days...not my best look I assure you all (alot more gray!). The Pannacrema provided a luxurious lather and the Invicta wiped it away, 3 passes and BBS! In the immortal words of Jackie Gleason "how sweet it is!"
Have a Great Tuesday Gents!
