Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (08.04.2026)

IMG_9519.jpeg
Razor: Weber // Blade: Dorco Prime Platinum (7) // Soap: Grooming Dept Chypre Peach // Brush: Yaqi Moka // Aftershave: Alum - Sebamed Balm

A magnificent shave. This was the first time i could take a photo in our garden since we moved here last December.

The Weber is one of my most loved razors. It shaves so well. Today with the Dorco blade the shave was smooth, gentle and highly efficient. 2 passes plus one touch and BOOOOOOOOM…BBS :)

No problem with the lather of this soap. This scent is great. Citrusy fresh with hints of herbal and sweeter notes. Lovely scent. Cushion, glide and skincare were top notch but that´s no wonder, it contains Tallow, Goat Milk and Lanolin.

No feedback from the Alumblock which is always nice. Applied some of the Balm which also has some fruity notes to it so it paired well with the scent of the soap.

A 10 out 0f 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick Stick Injector Razor
Personna Injector Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Derby Chop Shop After Shave Tonic

The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #425 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Stick Injector Razor and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Derby Chop Shop After Shave Tonic. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor: Barbasol (non floating head)
Blade: Gillette Nacet(3)
Brush: TSD 30DC LE
Soap: Stirling Vanilla Bean Espresso
AS: Cella

Absolutely amazing shave with the Barbasol NFH. The save was a little rough at the start but a little fine tuning of the angle (riding the cap) really smoothed things out. And wow, what an efficient razor this is. I could have stopped after the first pass, but the second brought home the baby.

Happy shaving!

Borrowed a Weber DLC from a friend and I Loved it! He has four maybe I can buy this one from him?

Proraso pre-shave, Zingari Man Navigator soap, Omega EVO brush, Weber DLC razor, Tatra (3), Thayers toner, HAGS Faceless balm. Fantastic two pass shave. Can’t wait to try the razor with a new blade!
