You have quite a photographic eye.

 

Someone has become quite enamored with the Brass General

I admit I am smitten with the brass General. So much so that I am contemplating selling some of my other artist club razors.

Have a great day!​

 

As an extra, added attraction...an AOS Tallow Lather shot. Enjoy.

 

QShave-4 beard, Rockwell 6C-4 head shave. First use of the Coate's Tea Tree, decent but not exceptional. I like the comfort of the 4 plate, and buffing ATG was quite easy. Nice shave.

I have the aluminum version and it's an excellent 2 pass shaver for me for me just behind the Cobra Classic and KC.

Wow what a shave!! I love the feel of this razor in my hand. It feels delicate but with substance. I thought initially it was going to be a rough shave but as the shave went on and I got comfortable with the razor, the shave went smoothly. I got bbs smooth but I did get some feedback from the aftershave. The clean up pass is what did me in. The blade and razor worked well together but I'm gonna try the Astra sp in the next shave.

 

Saturday morning's planned shave:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Rapira day 6
Tcheon Fung Sing Sottozero S/S
Lucky Tiger A/S Cream
Mennen Skin Bracer A/S Splash

The best way to describe this Sottozero soap is like this:

It's inappropriately-named because in Italian sottozero means below zero and the menthol effect is not that strong. In fact I find it lighter than what you'd get from the Proraso Green. It's still fairly-cooling and it has a very nice minty scent with great lather. It's always a pleasure to use the Lucky Tiger a/s balm and the Skin Bracer!

Today my face feels great!!!

I broke out The Fat last night for an overnight soak since I haven't used it since January and it was cracked and dried. This morning it loaded and lathered like nothing. I then proceeded to get a fabulous two pass shave from my favorite razor, the Merkur 34c. My usual post was finished with Pinaud Clubman because I like "Clubman Fridays." Just a stellar shave.

I usually use one of my Fatboys on Fridays, but I am glad I went with the 34c today. I had a great shave that really lifted my spirits this morning.

 

Thanks, buddy. Have a great day!

 

The Evolution looks fantastic, Jorge!

 

Very cool Rob, I hope you are enjoying life in Texas!

 

Thanks Andrew, I sure am. Have a great day buddy.

 

2 days beard, left late, dry shave at work.

*Near little plastic canister TTO Trac II travel razor, about the size of a lipstick, with a new T-II cart

A very slow and easy DFS/near BBS. Followed up with a copious DG witch hazel splash and I feel fine.
