    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    20180321_140847.jpg

    Shower: Lisa's Natural Dragons Blood bar soap, Lisa's Apple Cider Vinigar face bar, PAA Porthos shampoo bar.
    Prep: Musgo Real Classic
    Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Bolzano (2nd shave)
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft
    Soap: Van Yulay Oh Man
    Post: Fine American Blend, Van Yulay Rugged balm



    Excellent shave this afernoon. Had a strange dream last night where I was at the grocery store and they had samples of Van Yulay soap in small yogurt containers hahaha. You know you have problems when you dream about shaving. Anyways, haven't used VY soaps in a while so decided to go with the hard puck. This may be the best of their formulas IMO. Nice 2oz hard puck. Shave went well with no problems, lather held a lot of water and remained thick. Finished off with American Blend (which the wife says smells like pachouli lol). Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!

    March Madness!!!

    March 21

    Razor - 1959 (E1) Gillette Super Speed
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Proraso Green Tub
    Brush - Stirling Two Band Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    My weekend has arrived! My plans? Pack, haul stuff to storage, pack, haul stuff to storage, you know....all that fun stuff you live for on the weekend. I bet you all wish you were me right now. Admit it.

    The shave tonight was the best of the three with the Rapira Swede. The Proraso was just the right consistency, meaning I'm getting it dialed back in after not using it for a very long time. The Swede is still nice and sharp and the synthetic brush laid down a perfect lather. The baby showed up in two passes and some neck touch up and my wife is enjoying the scent of Proraso again. She always did like that eucamenthol thing it has going for it.

    Tomorrow will be a switch to a different blade for 3 days and just enjoying the simplicity of these shaves. Have a great night and a better tomorrow!

    I've enjoyed seeing you go through your Slants. How aggressive would you rate the RazoRock 37?

    The photo makes the handle of your brush look dark. Is it polished aluminum, and who is the maker?
