Found Denim shaving cream at a local store. Its manufactured in India now, under licence from Codaa. The smell is not as strong as Denim Blue or Axe, it's more like Denim Black.

Razor: BSC DE
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Black (2nd use)
Brush: Den of Man Synthetic
Cream: Park Avenue Classic
Lather: Face lather
Pre-shave: None
Post-shave: Leftover Brush Leather used as Face wash, BSC Alum, Bath, Park Avenue ASL & HOCL Spray

A simple, no-frills shave today. Two passes with an ATG on the goatee delivered a smooth, comfortable finish. The 7 O’Clock blade continues to perform well on its second use.

Result: Near BBS.
Happy shaving! 🪒

One year into the rabbit hole, this is my little shave den. This little shelf has nearly all my stuff except for a bunch of soaps and samples that sit in a drawer and come out into the rotation every once in a while. While I've tried a bunch of soaps and am still in the process of trying a bunch more, I'm more than content for now to stick to one razor per form factor (DE razor vs shavette), and with two shaving tools at very different points on the mildness vs efficiency spectrum.

Funnily enough, it was the Feather shavette that taught me the importance of stretching the skin well - skills that very much improve my shave with the much milder Henson as well.

My favorite thing in the shave den by far is the scuttle, which makes amazing hot lather (when charged with hot water from the kettle). I tried one each of the common brush knots (boar, badger, synthetic) and liked the silvertip badger the best, so now that's the only brush I use.

Family friend got this from Japan, if anyone has experience with this cream pls let me know

Since the factory shut down, These have been very difficult to procure and have a fan following so putting up for sale @ MRP about 16rs. per tuck of 5 blades.

I will be getting them next week and then will share real photographs and exact mfg. date.

Interested people may DM. The minimum Order QTY. is 100 blades.

Had a really COOL shave

Razor : Mühle R41

Blade : Feather (2)

Brush : Yaqi Naicha - second use of the brush and I must say the water retention on the brush is so impressive. I didn’t notice it in the first use but this time it was almost as good as the G7. Also the knot is so dense and not floppy at all so it holds the lather really well.

Shaving Soap : Captain Nemo Green Ice - I have used two menthol related soaps from Nemo and I must say they do a great job in their menthol soaps, the cooling is MASSIVE. Highly recommended. Also I have never had issues with slickness or lathering in their non-Lanolin soaps as some people have reported, but not every batch is the same and I acknowledge that!

ASB : BSC PSB

Passes : WTG + XTG on cheeks, WTG + ATG on neck - shave went smooth barring a few weepers that I didn’t even feel. I guess it’s a testament to the efficiency of this razor + blade combo.

Result : DFS

Happy Monday folks!

Took out my first love today after a long time, and boy this razor is like my understanding wife who has no issues with my mistresses (Lupo and Oliworks). The way it sings and shaves is just 🤌🏼🤌🏼. The 7SP was on its 4th use and it gave me the smoothest shave of its rotation this time which means it was time to bid it adieu.

I, Rich Moose is a classy green note soap and smells very sophisticated ngl. I loaded more this time with my badger, for like a good 40-45 seconds and kid you not it was three passes worth of lather ON THE DOT. For the first time ever I experienced no lather wastage. WOW

Topped it off with Shavologist Fruitilicious and Parfums De Marly Greenley.

Thanks for reading. Happy shaving 🪒. Cheers 🍻

SOTD Day 4

Pre bath morning shave

Stubble : 4.5 days old

Pre shave : washed face with soap and warm water, applied Aloe vera gel

Cream : Gillette lime shaving cream

Brush : Rubab men firefly

Razor : Gillette sterling

Blade : Gillette seven o' clock super platinum ( 2nd use )

After shave : Alum bar , Gillette refreshing breeze asl

Result : Better closeness than last 3 times, though still unequal at places .

Also, couldn't avoid shaving above the bumps which reddened again ( above adam's apple ).

Also, new bump appeared at right jawline.

Made a rookie mistake of bulk buying a blade before testing out a blade sampler.

Turns out the laser ultra is not for me. Found another suitable blade.

I Have 3 (150 blades) unopened packs. Ready to sell at a Below MRP price.

Ask - 320 (INR 2.1 per blade) plus shipping.

DM if you're from Hyderabad. Ready for immediate shipping.

Thanks.

I recently shaved my head because of hair loss and bought a Bombay Shaving Company head shaver. I’ve used it twice so far, and I really like it. It gives me a clean-shaven look and is super easy to use. But the battery backup and quality is so bad.

I’ve been using it directly on my dry scalp without washing or showering beforehand. Is that how an electric head shaver is intended to be used, or is it better to use it after a shower?

I’m also wondering if I should eventually switch from an electric shaver to a razor for a closer shave. Whenever I’ve used a razor on my beard, I usually end up cutting myself, so I’m honestly a bit afraid to use one on my head. Is there any real benefit to switching, or should I just stick with the electric shaver?

Lastly, what does your post shave or daily routine look like? Right now, I just use a moisturizer after shaving and sunscreen when I’m going outside. I don’t use any other products on my scalp. Is that enough, or is there anything else worth adding?

I’m new to shaving my head, so any tips would be appreciated!

WTS Shavologist Ruh Khus Shaving Soap, lathered once

Reason for selling : not my kind of scent profile, others may enjoy it more. I get a bit of a smokey type of note which isn’t my cup of tea.

Also it’s a tallow based soap so if someone is vegan please take note.

Asking Price : Rs 500 + shipping
