Saturday SOTD Thread - August 5, 2023

August 5, 2023

• Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
• Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
• Blade: Personna 74 (12)
• Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Cherry Pipe - Soap
• Post Shave: Old Spice - Original - Aftershave

The Central Texas Soaps base is pretty nice. Very slick, takes a lot of water if you want it to, feels nice. They used to be even cheaper than Stirling, though the scent choices were relatively limited. This scent is pretty simple and nice.

• Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
• Razor: Razorock Hawk V2
• Blade: Feather AC Pro
• Lather: Henri et Victoria - Costa - Soap
• Post Shave: Henri et Victoria - Costa - Aftershave

Weird razor, inefficient soap like vegan stuff and an ok scent aquatic and spicy. It turned out ok not really that close of a shave but no real problems.

• Preshave: Cold Water
• Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
• Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
• Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (6)
• Lather: The Goodfellas Smile Amber Fougère
• Post Shave: Pitralon Original After Shave

Same old, same old. I'm still not getting the scent notes listed for the Pitralon - it's not bad, but it's unlikely that I will buy it ever again. My skin starts to become rather dry, and I will have to get something more than just a n aftershave.

Have a good night!
