SoS; February 2018

Thank you Gus.

 

That's beautiful Jim! ☺️

 

Thanks Jim. Have a great day buddy. ☺️

 

Thank you, Roby! Have a great day!

 

At the last minute I decided to put aside my cherished 1950's Super Speed and shave with my cheap dollar store Junjie DE which had a Derby blade on day unknown because it's been quite some time since I last used it. The results were excellent. This OSP Grapefruit Menthol soap really delivered brilliantly on the rich, dense, icy-cold lather and the fantastic post-shave care. The Black Powder aftershave from F&C felt so cooling and it smells delightful!

Have a great weekend!

 

SOTD February 2, 2018

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Schick
Razor: Schick G1 injector
Brush: Omega 10049 boar
Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post: Witch hazel, Fine American Blend aftershave
WTG, touch up

The Fat! Terrific shave as usual with this combination. Doesn't get much better than this for me. Have a great day!

 

Gorgous G1 - i have one with that Unique handle coloring made in Canda - and suddenly the damn thing does NOT hold the blade straight - so as Fuzzy said in a video - I will "take a hacksaw to it and cut it in half" as its useless - and these things are not fixable.

 

Last Night's Shave - February 1, 2018

Brush = @Jayaruh JR #256 Faux Horse "400" type.
Schick Type O = Vintage Schick twin [4]
CROWN KING = PORTHOS [aramis tribute] - soap, splash, post balm.
PRE = PAA CUBE mentholated pre soap.

It is impossible to get a bad shave from the TYPE O Loaded with Twin blade ammunition...

PEACE !!!!!!

Thanks, Jamie! The head on this one is starting to show a little play. I'm careful with it and watch it diligently. Hasn't affected the shave yet.

 

Cool looking brush

 

Thanks. It’s a WildWest Brushworks with Boss knot. It has been great

Another two pass, minor touch-up, BBS shave this morning. The Polsilver blades have moved into the #1 slot in my rotation. They worked well and yielded terrific, smooth shaves in the RR slant last month and the performance is the same in the Fatip. I have 100 of them on the way. So, with my meager two razor rotation, I have 6 blades to rotate through: Astra SP, Personna Red, Gillette Nacet, Gillette 7 O'Clock green, Rapira LUX and Polsilver Super Iridium.

Soap: Proraso White
Brush: Semogue 620
Razor: Fatip Grande
Blade: Polsilver SI (6)
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Vanilla

Have a great day!​

 

Oh, I just gave my Dad a great shave!

Here's what I used on him:

Two hot towels
Omega 49
Junjie/Astra day 3
Lord Emofresh SC
Tabiano AS Gel

Dad really enjoyed his shave a lot and he's BBS. He found the scent of the Lord cream very nice and although he's not a menthol fan he said that this cream is cooling in a comfortable way which it is. He likes the scent and feeling of the Tabiano gel!
