    Soap: Route 66 Lavender Woods
    Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed

    Route 66 Lavender Woods today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I moved the Personna 74 Tungsten to my Red Tip Super Speed. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Chiseled Face Sherlock aftershave.

    Adagio provided excellent lather and a gentle but welcome cool. Three easy passes. I used Chattilon Lux Tea Tree Roborant for the first time, and it does leave my face smooth. The tea tree scent did overwhelm the Adagio. I used Michael Kors for men and I'm good to go.
    Prep: CL butter
    Soap: B-M Adagio
    Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
    Razor: Merkur Futur
    Blade: Rapira SS
    AS: B-M Adagio, CL Tea Tree Roborant
    EdT: Micheal Kors For Men[​IMG]

    Another night with the Futur clone and another 3 pass BBS. This razor is performing very well considering it can be had for less then $10 and very well might take the place of my 34C on the dream team. This razor is delivering consistent, long lasting BBS shaves. Have a great day everyone!

    The Glacial Obsidian tub I'm using is almost finished but I have a brand-new one. I swear, when I was shaving this morning not only did my face feel like it was coming off my eyes were half-closed! (but I love that feeling!)

    SOTD: Peaceful post-Easter Monday shave using this vintage Sheffield 'Celebrated IXL Razor' from George Wostenholm & Son; Soap Commander 'Devotion' soap and matching mentholated aftershave balm, Brad Sears Shave Works silvertip. Lovely lather & brush combination, and sweet razor. Hard to beat this morning's shave. Have a great Monday, all!

    How does that Taconic cream lather? Also how's the cooling effect? The reason I ask is because it's available in a store here in Montreal so if you give me a good report on it I'll buy it! ;)

    Been too long since I picked up a straight. My personal brick wall - maintenance & honing. A shavette gives me close enough to a SR experience for now.

    Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
    Pre shave - Proraso
    Razor – Merkur 34C HD
    Blade – Astra S/S
    Brush - 'Papa Chub' (Chubby 3 Manchurian)
    Soap – Sir Hare - Drunken Sailor
    Post - Cold water rinse, Tallow + Steel – Dark Aftershave

    An absolutely wonderful shave, and I cannot believe that Sir Hare soaps don't get the love that they deserve.. A truly phenomenal soap, that nobody seems to shout about...If you get the chance, try it.
