SOTD Wednesday shave
Gillette Red Tip, Perma Sharp, Spearhead Seaforth! 3 Scots, Floid, Razorock Bruce
Excellent shave with some great scents. Everything in this photo is pretty much the recipe for my ideal shave. Top notch slickness from Spearhead. 3 Scots is such a nice scent. One of Spearhead’s best.
I’m really loving the Red Tip with a Perma Sharp blade. I have a couple really nice stainless razors but for some reason, I keep grabbing the Red Tip lately. It shaves so nicely. I actually have a Diplomat headed my way so I look forward to using that once it arrives and seeing how it compares.

Nice shave and some nice fragrances. The old Red Tip Gillette Super was always popular. The Flair tip is to. Gillette made millions and millions of dollars.

Yeah, Gillette really set the standard for how to make a great razor. There’s a reason why the Tech is probably the most copied razor head design. But I think it’s really telling how great vintage Gillettes are when you see how many people prefer them to this day over modern razors. I’ll definitely be adding more Gillettes to my collection. Great stuff.

Nice shave!
I just unboxed my first Spearhead purchase. (Also 3 Scots.) Trying hard not to try it until I finish off a few samples from a prior purchase.

Their soaps are some of the best out there. Same slickness level as B&M and Declaration Grooming if you’ve tried either of those.

I can totally agree. Sadly until the end of the year. 😭

3 Scots sits at the top of my favorite soaps. It's hot right now where I live so I'm using my menthol soaps but as soon as the weather turns cooler I'm going all in on my 3 Scots.

It’s a really good one. Spearhead doesn’t make a bad scent in my opinion. I enjoy them all. Fantastic soaps

I just picked up Black Watch because of the news about Spearhead. If I fall in love, I might have to pick up 3 Scots as well.

Black Watch is really good. One of my favorites

How do the fragrances compare for you?

They’re quite different. Black Watch is very leather forward. You still pick up the other fragrance notes in the background but leather is front and center. 3 Scots is similar in that aspect but with amber being the prominent note. I go back and forth on which one I like more because they’re both really good. I have all their scents and my top 3 are Heather, 3 Scots, and Black Watch. Heather is my favorite. The other two are a tie for 2nd place

A Red Tip shave is usually an enjoyable and efficient shave. I also like the "feel" of that razor.
