Thank you, Roby! Have a great day!

 

Thank you, Doug!

 

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Anbbas Boar
Cream: Arko
Razor: ER 1924
Blade: Gem SS
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, LaToja Balsamo

I'm not a big fan of Arko soap, can't get past the smell, but find the cream to be pretty good.
The shimmed 1924 was in its element and went about its business with vigour and aplomb.
The LaToja was the finishing touch to a very good shave, leaving my skin smooth and feeling grand.

 

Thank you, Doug!

 

Great photo Andrew!

 

Wednesday's SOTD
Paradigm 17-4 / Polsilver
DG Trismegistus soap
RazoRock Beehive
Fine L'Orange Noir
​

My first shave with my new Paradigm Stainless 17-4 and what an incredible shave it was. YES the hype is deserving of this razor, so glad i was lucky enough to get one of the 150 made

 

Thank you, Rob! Have a great evening my friend!

 

Almost exactly the same for Thursday's shave as today, but a minor difference:

Brush-Stoylin' "li'l brudder".

Seems I had the two Stoylin brushes lined up next to each other in the rotation.

 

Thanks

 

SOTD January 17, 2018

Prep: Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: GEM PTFE
Razor: GEM G-Bar
Brush: JR #60 synthetic
Soap: Williams
Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Baker Street aftershave
WTG, touch up

Good shave today. Not superb but solid. The G-Bar razor is becoming a favorite quickly. Have a great day!

 

Thursday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Williams Mug Shave Soap
JR#206 2-band Badger
Schick H (the Hussy)
Schick Twin
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Vegetal

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the JR #206 2-band Badger brush. I did two passes with the Schick H Razor with a Schick Twin blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Good pictures and gear Perry and Jim.
