SOTD August 23 - September 23

Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (02.09.2026)

IMG_0848.jpeg
Razor: Kämpfe // Blade: Gillette Platinum (3) // Soap: SV Felce Aromatica // Brush: PAA Peregrino // Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer

Maaaaan, what a fantastic shave this was. The razor could be my „lonesome island“ Razor. SO smooth, gentle and efficient. The Felce Aromatica with it´s wonderful scent was whipped up with the Peregrino which tool only a few seconds. Tons of glide and cushion.

BBS in 2,5 joyful passes.

To close out this shave i ´ve used the Mennen Skin Bracer. Lightly mentholized with an elegant and fresh scent. Skincare is top notch.

10 out of 10

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

Greetings
Thorsten

BLUE?!? I didn't know about that one. Do you happen to have a picture of one? Or know where to find a picture of one?

I haven't seen one in a very long time. I did a search and could find no reference to them either. But I do remember seeing a couple many years ago on ebay that were for sale. They were a dark, mottled blue.

What a soap & great scent! First time trying this soap and aftershave.

Proraso pre-shave, Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars soap and aftershave balm, Omega EVO, Gillette 195 (E1), Tatra platinum, Omega alum, Thayers Toner. Amazing 2.5 pass shave this combination will see plenty of cooler weather use.
