Beautiful roses to fit the occasion, Mrs. H. TOB sandalwood, a perfect soap for beginner and veterans wet shavers alike. The loss of the queen on the world stage is indeed the hallmark loss of greatest generation. Sensational life lived.
My condolences to you and all in the UK, God Bless Queen Elizabeth! Lovely Flowers Mrs H, and great shave Paul. I like both creams and hard soaps, I’ve been on a hard soap binge lately, Floris, DR Harris, TOBS, Trumpers, Truefitt & Hill, Mitchell’s Wool Fat. My favorites are the Floris 89 and DR Harris Windsor. My SOTD: H&S no75 Razor, Feather Blade, DR Harris Lavender Soap, TN Dickinson’s Menthol Witch Hazel, Mr Fine Barber Blue Aftershave, Proraso Sensitive Balm. My MOTD: Grilled Angus Ribeye Steak over mesquite wood, Avocado Slices, and a wedge of Murray’s Aged English Cheddar. Hoping you have a great week! Paul H (Tucson AZ)
Sorry for your country's loss. I am from the USA. And I love your 👑 Queen and your country. Wish that I can take a holiday in your country. At one point in my life. .
First Paul, condolences to everyone across the pond, we are with you. Great Shave as Always! STOD - TRC/SCS Razor, Voskhod blade, Yaqi barber pole 24mm synthetic, Mike's Natural Soap - Hungarian Lavender, Thayers Lavender witch hazel, Zirh Soothe Balm, Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male. MOTD - Ratatouille :):)
Condolences on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Seventy years is an incredible tenure as Queen. I generally like soaps slightly better than creams, but have and enjoy creams as well as soaps. Some manufacturers haven't had well performance soaps so you have to use creams. My SOTD is: Henson AL13 Aggressive razor with Rapira Platinum Lux, Zingari Man Coconut Nanas soap and aftershave, Declaration grooming B15 knot in a Prometheus Handcrafts handle and Thayers Coconut Witch Hazel. My MOTD is: Grilled NY Strip Steak, Garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Cherry cheesecake for dessert. Enjoy your wedding and the pig roast... sounds delicious.
Hi Paul- Sincere condolences on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Great shave; thank you! I generally prefer a cream or softer croap, mixed with a synthetic brush. I shave very early in the morning each day and this helps deal with the limited period of time I have allocated to the shave. Lovely flowers from Mrs H; thank you, as always! Have a great rest of the day and a wonderful start to the week. Be safe and be well. See you on Wednesday for the mid-week shave. All the best, Paul!
Hi Paul great Sunday SOTD! Thanks to Mrs. Humphrey for the gorgeous display of flowers. And my deepest condolences to your lost of your Queen as a Brite. I hope you enjoy in this Sunday.
Great shave Paul 💈 Interesting that razor has 2 different plates. Stunning flowers Mrs H 🌸 Hope you enjoy the wedding party Lovely ending tribute. RIP EIIR 👑💈🌸💈
SOTD: EJ DE89, Shark blade second use, DR Harris Windsor soap, Kent synthetic brush, Thayers cucumber witch hazel, TOBS Sandalwood aftershave, T&H West Indian Limes Edt. Greetings Paul. Much remembrance for Queen Elizabeth II here in the US, may she Rest In Peace.
Hey Paul great Sunday shave. TOBS Sandle Wood shaving soap was my first shaving soap and is still one of my favourites. My SOTD was Zingari Man Merchant shaving soap and aftershave lotion. Razor was my Edwin Jagger DE 89 with a Gillett Blue blade. Brush was your brush. Today I will be grilling salmon with some salt pepper olive oil and lemon slices. With a side garden salad. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Royal family and the people of the UK for their loss. Take care
Condolences on the loss. Nice shave. Thought it would be a British shave in tribute. SOTD Karve CB brass with the E plate. Third use Dorco. Baby oil pre shave. Stirling Dunshire .BBS. Thayers Lavender witch hazel. CK IN TO U aftershave. Shrimp Alfredo and veges. Take care.
Beautiful display by Mrs H, and some great choices for your Sunday shave Paul!!! My Sunday SOTD will be the Wilkinson Sword Classic razor with a Wilkinson Sword Classic blade, Simpson Chubby 2 Badger Brush, DR Harris Arlington soap and aftershave, with some Nivea Men’s cooling lotion to finish the shave. Meal of the day will be some Grilled Salmon with some Chopped salad, grilled asparagus, street corn and garlic bread. Have a wonderful day and stay safe!!!
Good morning Paul. I would have to say I prefer soap to cream as I have about 14 soaps and 3 creams .I will say that Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood is a must have in my den , a wonderful scent ! Also from the Colonies, the Queen is dead, long live the King ! Stay safe and have a great day
Great shave and floral arrangement by mrs h. I love tobs sandlewood. Wonderful scent. Ive got to get me some more. Im sorry for the lose your country has had. Its an end if an era. Very sad world wide. My sotd was my parker 96r with a 2nd use derby. Used simpson t3 brush to lather paa, cad. And finished with cad after shave and star jelly. Busy week here. My wife and i are moving. Hope your wknd is more relaxing.
Great shave as always. SOTD for me is a Trumpers Sandlewood total shave with the cream, skin food, cologne, deodorant. I love the the scent. Razor used was Rockwell 6c. Favourite razor with my favourite Gillette blacks blade, the super Platinums. Have a great Sunday I love a hog roast. Will you be sneaking in a bottle of chilli 🌶 sauce ?? Lol
What a gorgeous display of roses today. Like you, I enjoy shaving soaps and creams. Hard soaps like Tabac, medium hard soaps like PAA and Stirling, soft soaps like Wet the Face, and creams like GFT and TOBS. My SOTD: GFT cream (face lathered) using my 6S with a Wilkinson Sword (Indian Saloon Pack) blade. Post-shave was alum, Dickinson's witch hazel, and Duke Cannon Ice Cold balm. BTW, you should post pics of you and Mrs. H at the wedding party. Enjoy.
Awesome shave and display as usual. To answer your question I enjoy both shaving cream and soaps. In the wet shaving hobby you ought to love everything related with it. I always bowl lather so even with a hard soap like the MWF I've scraped today in my goodfellas bowl and with my yaqi mysterious space two band badger 24 ton of lather and not messing the soap by wetting it or losing soap by rinsing it. Have a nice day sir.
Regarding your question, I actually enjoy both of your options. (Cream vs Soap) One shave this week I used a Palmolive stick soap, another was Geo Trumper Spanish Leather cream. Today was a Fine Santal Absolut soap. Three shaves, three types of soap. I just enjoy them all.
Good morning Paul, Fatip piccolo special edition is a great razor love mine. SOTD is Merkur 34c Treet platinum blade Lea menthol shaving cream Yaqi red marble brush, proraso eucalyptus and menthol aftershave and Nivea fresh kick balm. MOTD will be Roast Chicken with roast vegetables and lashentoes of gravy! All the best to you both enjoy your day
Another great shave and video Paul! My wife and I really love watching your shaves and also the Hot & Spicy channel! I am a wet shaver as well as a spicy food lover. Thanks for all the great videos and ideas! In the spring of 2023, my wife and I are likely heading over to Scotland or Ireland for our 35th wedding anniversary so maybe we could arrange a meetup during our holiday….
Nicely done Paul💈💈 Great shave and results today, no worries or issues. TOBS Sandalwood is a classic scent, many imitators out there but only one TOBS. Never used a FaTip razor, they're certainly within reach cost wise and seem to work well. Awesome display of color today, Mrs H definitely has an eye for beauty, thanks. SOTD: PAA Cube, T&S "Boreal" soap/splash, Wolf Whiskers custom badger brush, Timeless SS Scalloped razor w/Feather blade, alum, witch hazel and AV 5in1 balm to end...Fantastic. Well done video and fitting salute at the end. Enjoy!
Gorgeous flowers, Mrs H. Great video, Paul. I like both hard soaps and creams; which one I use depends on whether or not I'm going to bowl lather. If I have plenty of time, I bowl lather with a cream. If time is not so plentiful, I lather straight from the puck of a hard soap or croap. I used to scrape hard soap and croap into the bottom of my shaving bowl, but I found that there were invariably hard bits left undissolved, even when I used a boar brush. Having said all that, very occasionally I will lather cream from a tube (Nivea, Palmolive, Denim) straight to my face with a synthetic brush, but never with a boar brush. My SOTD: Gillette 1941 Ranger safety razor, T.O.B.S. Sandalwood shaving cream, Yaqi 28 synthetic brush, Old Spice aftershave. I have temporarily stopped using moisturizer, because I have a naturally oily skin, and I have lately been getting spots. At 52, having spots makes me feel kinda young again, but I can definitely live without them!
great shave and video flowers are beautiful as usual. I use it all Soap, Cream, stick even foam and some gel though not so fond of Gels´s some are nice. Stay safe, cheers...Peter
Nice shave Paul. I know in my town, there's quite a few different Post Boxes from different eras. Usually they don't get replaced with a new one, when we get a new King or Queen. In my town there's a Post Box with VR on it (Queen Victoria) others with GR (King George) another with either GVI or GVII (for another King George).
Good morning Paul, great video as always! I was going through my den trying to decide which soap to shave with today, and there you are with a perfect choice. I find myself using more soap than cream these days, for no reason really. I just enjoy the blooming and all I guess. Have a great Sunday!
Shave today is the Feather Popular razor with a new Feather blade. I have other razors like EJ de89 and Wilkinson Sword new vintage, but I really like the cheaper Feather razor. Brush is a amazon barber pole 26mm brush with Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandlewood cream.
Beautiful yellow roses, thanks Mrs.H. As for soap vs cream: even though I shave with both, I prefer using soaps most of the time, that includes hard and soft Artisan soaps/croaps. I do find creams normally easier and quicker to make lather with, so they are handy when I need a quicker shave. I consider the Fatip "Gentile" plate about medium aggression and works well for me with milder blades.👍😎🤟
You made my mind up on what soap to use I'll have to get my Sandalwood TOBS wooden bowl out like yourself, don't mind either. these multi-plate razors are getting back in fashion, don't have one myself maybe I ask for one from Santa I'll have to be a good boy and behave myself lol. Enjoy the wedding party that goes for Miss H as well. Thanks, Paul 👍
Good morning sir. Personally I prefer the hard soaps over the creams. For travel I’ll use TOBS Sandalwood or DR Harris Marlborough cream. Fantastic shave and cheers.
Sorry 😣 for your loss. We all feel the pain. Not gonna rattle on. Back to it love to switch back &forth from soft soaps to hard. Love slickness achieved from hard soaps. When I can make the hard soap creamy I’m thrilled. The best Fred H.
You ask an interesting question. I'm not actually sure I have a general preference for cream or soap, one against the other. Rather, some of my favorite lather media are creams: TOBS Avocado, Proraso Red, are all-time favorites, and some of my favorites are harder, or hard soaps. I've tried a lot of stuff over the years, and the emergence of shaving soap artisans has had an influence on my collection, but if it comes down to it, my ultimate preference can only be a particular hard soap. If I could use only one product to make lather with, for the rest of my time shaving, it would be Mitchell's Wool Fat.

Hello Paul, I’ve used DR Harris Arlington soap for years when I’m at home. When I travel I use the DR Harris Arlington shave cream that comes in a squeeze tube. At home I always shave with my Muhle R89 Grande, which has a heavy long handle. My travel razor is a Merkur travel razor with a short two-piece aluminum handle. I honestly prefer my “at home” shave set up for a number of reasons. First, I like the DR Harris hard soap as it lasts me for about 50-60 shaves. A tube of DR Harris cream only lasts for about 20-24 shaves. The cream is also not as slick as the soap. Perhaps because it does not use tallow like the soap. Then there is the razor. I love my heavy long handled Muhle compared to my short handled light weight Merkur travel razor. My blade of choice for both home and travel is the German made Wilkinson Sword. Obviously concessions need to be made for travel, and I’m not saying I don’t like wet shaving when I’m on the road, but as Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz “There’s no place like home”.
@@nelsonduarte1979 I typically only need about 2 grams of of the soap puck per shave. That gives me plenty of lather for 2 to 3 passes. How long does your soap last you?
Hi Paul have you ever used the rolls viceroy mechanical razor I have just bought one which I am waiting delivery of what sort of a shave could I expect from it
On a lighter note when I come across "Piccolo" I think of Dragon Ball Z or Ultraman Taro. The latter show had a friendly alien of the same name(he resembled Pinocchio)who wanted to destroy humanity after he found out a landlord poisoned the pet rabbit owned by a little boy he befriended-not in person,but he took a liking to the kid and involved himself in the dispute between the boy and the landlord of the apartment building the boy lived in. The rabbit got better thankfully. And Taro stopped Piccolo's raging and convinced him to return to his home planet. Taro's rationalization to Piccolo was he wasn't about to stop defending humanity just because of the few "bad apples",lol.
Bore da Paul. Nice shave video again. SOTD will be my Wacker 6/8 razor. Progress Vulfix Super Badger brush. PAA Gondolier soap. Thayers Lavender witchazel. Gummy Lavender aftershave. Gabri balm. Hope that you and Mrs. H enjoy the wedding. And maybe the girls would like you to bring some titbits home for them. 🏴👍
Kool shave dood. I'm looking to buy one of those razors soon, as for the soap or cream I don't mind really, can't stand the gels or trumper soap coz' it's terrible, cream yes soap no. Anyhoo be Kool dood and keep laughing 👍 ✌️. PS we had a 130lb pig roast at our wedding, the flipping thing was a monster. Grab the crackling fast coz it won't last long.
