    First Lemmy SOTD!:

    2023.06.12 SOTN:

    • Pre-Shave: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser
    • Brush: AKA Brushworks w/ APShaveCo 26mm G5C
    • Razor: Henson AL13 (+)
    • Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (2)
    • Lather: Stirling Glacial Satsuma
    • Post shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Stirling Glacial Satsuma Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry

    First lemmy shave! Woot! The shave was really nice. Glacial Satsuma is a fantastic soap. Just a fantastic warm citrus smell and the great Stirling quality. The perma-sharps do a fantastic job in the Henson. I think I’m going to buy an aggressive AL13 during the next Maggard sale to see the difference.

    • Prep: Hot water splash with face wash
    • Razor: King C Gillette
    • Blade: Dorco Prime Platinum
    • Lather: Catie’s Bubbles ‘95 Liquid Labels
    • Brush: Omega 10066
    • Splash: Aqua Velva Ice Blue
    • Balm: Afta After Shave Skin Conditioner Great BBS shave. No irritation with a few nicks on my neck, chin and upper lip. Bloody shave which is my fault, but the Prime blade was medium sharp and very smooth. It did so well for me that I’ll gladly use it again. Overall, great shave to start off this week. The next blade to try out is a blade that came with a razor I bought months ago. Sorry if this is a late comment. I forgot to join the Lemmy, but here I am now, happy to see my homies here.

    SOTD Monday 12 June, 2023

    • Prep: WDCB.org Chicago’s Home for Jazz
    • Prep: Warm Shower
    • Brush: Omega HI-Brush 146206 25mm Synthetic
    • Lather: Chiseled Face Midnight Stag 1st of 10 samples
    • Razor: 1956 Gillette Red Tip Super-Speed
    • Blade: Shaving Revolution Platinum Series (8)
    • Post: Nivea Men Maximum Hydration Moisturizing Post Shave Balm
    • Post: Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne

    The brush and soap samples were a 20th anniversary gift from my school district. I’m liking the brush more, although it’s pretty stiff. I’m not so sure about the soap’s fragrance, but it lathers really well. Have a great day, everybody.

    • Brush: Grizzly Bay Shire 26mm V18 Fanchurian

    • Razor: Filarmonica 12 Doble Temple 5/8" Full Hollow (Straight Shave 251)

    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Shire 2 - Soap

    • Post Shave: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner

    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Shire 2 - Splash

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    I did the right side of my face with a Rolls Razor that is owned by @Tetriside as an edge test. When I transitioned to the Fili 12, I was surprised by how rough it felt by comparison. For me, the edge on that Rolls was just effortless.

    You can’t go wrong with Shire 2 (IMHO), and the Shire brush is ultra luxurious as is the Shire Lancaster towel (though I actually prefer the larger, equally soft and absorbent, ““plush”” car detailing towels available online).

          Have you got a one liner for each of us?

          No, but in my defense, most people have names I can remember. If presented with multiple strings of numbers in hard-pressed to recognise “our” numbers, but I’ll remember enndeegee😅

    • Brush: Hucklaration B3
    • Razor: Gillette Slim
    • Blade: 7 O’Clock – Super Stainless (Green) (1)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Glacial, Citron
    • Post Shave: The Holy Black – Tangerine Creeper

    Spent last week on a Caribbean cruise with the family. Started off my first morning back with a 4 mile run around the neighborhood. Not a fan of the swampy conditions, but that’s what I get for living in Florida. Had a nice cool shower with Stirling Glacial Lemon bath soap to cool off followed by a nice cool noggin scrape with Glacial Citron and the Gillette Slim. Finished it all off with some Tangerine Creeper to keep things chilly.

    Fuck Spez.

    • Lather: Proraso White Soap
    • Brush: AP Shave Co G5C 24mm
    • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable
    • Blade: ASCO Platinum (1)

    A very comfortable shave. The ASCO blade was very smooth and sharp enough. It reminded me a bit of the Gillette Silver Blue. I will see if it changes with more shaves but the first shave was good.

    • Brush: Omega 40033 24mm
    • Razor: Gillette Superspeed
    • Blade: Feather (DE) (1)
    • Lather: Chiseled Face – Gearhead
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Shire 2
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Shire 2

    Back from my trip. Had to mow down growth since Friday night so a feather it was. I’d prefer to have used a different soap but was in a rush. HoM splashes are the only methanolated ones I have so it was an easy choice since I wanted cooling after being outside. Good shave, got some splash burn but also the coolant gives me that sensation. Let’s get blackout week started.

    Found this sample of Mûir(e) Wood while organizing my collection yesterday. I forgot they shipped them loose in paper, so definitely killing this next.

    I’m not committing to killing a tub anytime soon, but I am going to try to kill some samples. I got this huge sample several years ago at the Maggard Meet. Although I have used it several time there is still a significant amount left. Maybe I’ll kill it by the end of summer.

    • Blade: Derby Premium (1)

    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Nordost splash

    • Fragrance: Noble Otter - Monoi de Tahiti

    Hello everyone, good to see some familiar faces usernames here. This is my first time posting here so apologies in advance if the formatting is botched/I quadruple post/any other shenanigans.

    On to the shave, this giant and dense knot continues to destroy this soap; it’s funny that this has become my go-to soap killing brush, moreso than MOAR BOAR, which seems reasonable in comparison. Nordost is a great scent but I look forward to replacing it with something new once this tub is gone. Been eyeballing Catie’s Bubbles sandalwood soap recently and may not be able to resist temptation much longer.

    First of all, big thanks to @[email protected] for posting the SOTD thread today. The bot is having trouble and as a non-coder I’m reliant on GPT-4 to actually make it go for me. Fortunately, I think I see the problem and hopefully it will work tonight. If not, DJ will post the thread again.

    I was very pleased with this shave. As I mentioned in previous posts, since I have no thrill left I’ve decided to start using DEs again just make things interesting. I’ve tried the SuperSpeed (waaaaaaaaaay to mild) and the Tech (too mild but not in a bad way). Decided to do the Slim for the next several shaves and I got to say that with the slim on 9 it dealt with several days of growth like it wasn’t there. Ended up with a really nice feeling shave with no irritation.

    This is my first SOTD on Lemmy, and I’m happy I remembered it was Mammoth Monday to use some Mammoth products for this first SOTD!
