SAFETY Razor Shave of the Day (SOTD)

[Bluebriz]

Do you just set the bowl on the side of the tub?  I see myself having to create some kind of hanging platform for my shower hahah.  The ground is not flat enough and the tub wall is narrow for my XL scuttle ><

Actually I just put it on the shelf below the mirror while I'm showering.

hmmmmm my scuttle is quite hefty. I'm sure i could find a nice hanging shelf for the shower head large enough to accommodate it. I didn't think of that thanks

SOTD Saturday April the 6th 2013:

Head:
Razorock professional Lube; WS Extreme III

Face:
Body shop Maca Root shave cream
Gem Featherweight (generously piffed by an esteemed member of this forum), with Gem blade.
Omega boar brush

Dessert:
Witch hazel, 444 gel with Lucido aftershave.

Most things here I use regularly, but this was my first time with the Body Shop Cream.  It has an unusual scent that was familiar to me but I couldn't quite place.  The cream lathers easily and offers wonderful protection and glide, as well as leaving my skin feeling great afterwards. 
Normally I don't use Body Shop products, but a respected gent recommended it to me and I have to say it's fantastic stuff!

Overall, a wonderful start to the weekend!

Say what? What does "piffed" mean?

[Bluebriz]

"Piffed" is from "pif" which means pass it forward or pay it forward.  It's like doing a good deed for someone (in this case giving me a razor) and knowing that I'll pass something on to someone else in the future.  It's a very common thing around wet shaving forums like badgerabdblade.com

[smoothsailing]

Ah ok someone explained pif to me but I haven't seen it used like that yet haha

Hi Brian:  Great pic of the SOTD.  I'm glad that you are enjoying the Gem Featherweight.  I am thoroughly enjoying my Gem G Bar.  Last night I decided to try my Merkur 37C and I had a fantastic shave.

Best head/face shave yet!  I used a new razor and soap I bought today at Art of Shaving.  Very pleased with these purchases.  New razor is heavier and more aggressive than my merkur... something I like actually because I was putting too much pressure and this razor really helped me just use the weight of the razor.  The soap was awesome!  Amazingly thick and easy lather, something I'm more accustomed to in creams than soaps.  The sandlewood smell could be a bit stronger, but other than it being too weak, it's a great scent!

Razor:
Muhle r106

Blade:
These blades came with my sampler.  Since they were added in there extra and not listed I have no clue what they are.  They just say "10 Double Edge Blades" and underneath "Made in Isreal"  Anyone know who makes these?

Brush:
Same brush I always use since I only have 1.  Not sure if it's made by this vendor or is another brand.  No distinguishing features about the brush beyond the handle really and there are no marks on it.  In fact if anyone can help me identify that would help...

Pre:
Exfoliating soap & Lucky Tiger Face wash in shower
Shave Secret oil

Cream/Soap:
TOBS Avacado creme on face (pre shower)
Art of Shaving Sandlwood soap on head (post shower)

Post:
Cold water followed by
Old Spice Aftershave
Dove aftershave balm

Last night's SOTD, April 10, 2013

Razor:  Weber ARC w/ Bulldog Handle (face)

Razor:  Weber DLC w/ Wave Handle (dome)

Blade:  Feather

Soap:  Mike's Natural Soap (Lemongrass )

Brush:  TSN Semogue 2012 LE

Last night, I had an incredible shave.  I thoroughly enjoyed the process.  The Weber razors are outstanding razors.  The Feather blade is super sharp.  Mike's Natural Soap is one of my favorites.  The TSN Semogue 2012 LE brush is great.  Enjoy your shaves gents and ladies.  I know I am.

As requested by warhawk here are pictures of the incredible scuttle I ordered from Germany.  It has a massive basin and keeps my lather pleasantly warm for up to 45 minutes!  This is only using hot tap water- I'm sure you could use hotter water, though the insert that came with it warned not to use boiling water.  The little bowl inside of it holds soap that I grated and pressed into.

That scuttle looks huge!

Nice stuff!

Hi SS:  Jeramy... that is a sweet looking scuttle.  Thanks for sharing.
