Cold Water Rinse
Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap
Jayaruh #188 Synthetic
Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #188 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD: 01/18/2026

Razor: Atelier Durdan Vestige Ti
Blade: Personna GEM Stainless PTFE, 1st use
Brush: Oumo Shaving Exceed 3 - Blood Of God Tyrant T-8 Badger
Bowl: Symmetrical Pottery Sheet Metal Bowl
Soap: Le Père Lucien Oud Neroli Croap
Aftershave: Le Père Lucien Oud Neroli Aftershave
Additional Care: Osma Alum
Additional Care: Thayers Facial Toner: Rose Petal

Today I grabbed the Durdan Vestige and LPL’s Oud Neroli.

The Vestige is one smooth shave as one would expect from Atelier Durdan. It moves effortlessly across my face taking the contours with ease. Smooth, efficient, and a joy to shave with I don’t grab for this enough!

And Le Père Lucien is just top notch soap and splash. Performance is amazing! Rich, thick lather. Slickness to last for days and an after shave feel to die for. Scents that are top notch too! I don’t reach for this enough either!

What a great Sunday shave! Have a great week and awesome shaves!

Hi @silverlifter there seems to be a problem with your photos uploading. I don’t know if it’s just me but I haven’t seen any of them for awhile now.
Cheers mate.
