SOTD 18-24 August 2024

Wednesday, August 21, 2024.
Floïd oil preshave. Saboneria e Perfumeria Confiança, A.A.: Veleiro, shaving cream & Balsamo aftershave. Yaqi 1731, two bands badger, Mysterious Space handle. Nameless straight razor, Swedish steel, 7/8, full hollow ground, with custom by Pablo Fuertes kirinite artic blue scales.

I am a sucker for color coordination........my handbag always has to match my shoes!

And now for something slightly different:

Razor:   Gold Dollar 300
            Pearl "The Sleek" (modified) for clean up pass
Soap:    Jabonman Eufros Atlantico (PIF'd by Dave in KY )

Brush:   Omega Pure Badger
A/S:      Clubman





The Jabonman Eurfros was a real change of pace for me.  It is a very, very soft soap-closer to a creme than say, Cella is, so it is easy to load with a badger brush.  It can handle a lot of water.  If I get around to it I will be doing a full Review. Does not have much cushion.  Got two nicks which is unusual for me.  Aroma is floral?  On the positive side, it rinses cleaner than any soap I have ever used.   I continue to be impressed with the Gold Dollar 300.  Holds an edge well and does nicely against the grain.

I had no idea that Gillette could make something that looked like that. What happened to them?

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another fantastic shave this morning. Returned to my vintage Crabtree & Evelyn "Mysore Sandalwood" shave soap. Great lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Bisbee" Sweet Spot badger brush. The scent it light but there's still some of the sandalwood when lathered. I finished with D.R. Harris "Sandalwood" aftershave splash & Arden for Men "Sandalwood" EdC.

Hope you have a great day.

Wonderful vintage combo !
