    Thanks very much.
    The rescue actually made an initial bad shave into a very enjoyable and satisfying one.

    Effortless two pass, minor touch-up, BBS shave this morning. The RR Disruptor whips up copious amounts of lather in no time. Although, it seems IB no longer offers that brush. Not sure why though.

    Cream: Derby Lavender
    Brush: RazoRock Disruptor synthetic
    Bowl: Dollar Tree salsa
    Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
    Blade: Personna red (4)
    Aftershave: Pinaud Special Reserve

    Wednesday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: Maggard Limes & Bergamot
    Razor: Gillette Pre-War Fat Handle Tech (triangle slots)
    Blade: Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus (Shave #13)
    Brush: Cowboy Classic/Whipped Dog Silvertip-24mmx54mm
    Aftershave: Stirling Sandpiper w/Menthol

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)


    Maggard Limes & Bergamot today. 20 seconds to load the Cowboy Classic/Whipped Dog Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus still in the Gillette Fat Handle Tech. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Sandpiper aftershave.

    Gillette New SC
    GSB(5)
    B&M Eventide
    Yaqi Mysterious Space (24mm silvertip, Frigate class)

    For the last shave of FAVuary I choose my favorite new soap, Eventide. This soap is an amazing Oud forward scent with the Raspberry, Lime, and Rose fragrances blended in to make just a bit sweeter and tangier! No problems with smelling any badger funk over this scent because it is easily a 9 on the strength scale and filled the whole bathroom. 3 passes to a DFS and the GSB I'm using is starting to lose its sharpness a little. No aftershave today but I'm still catching whiffs of Eventide every now and then! have a great day my friends!

    Razor: Personna Floating Head
    Blade: Gillette TwinJector (5)
    Pre Shave: Homemade
    Lather: Proraso Green
    Brush: VDH Badger
    AS: Aqua Velva/Afta
    Newspaper Date: Dec. 9,1943

    A near perfect shave with the razor, blade and lather mentioned above, of course prep is important, but are interchangeable, personal choice. IMO!
    Two passes, WTG/ATG with clean up after each pass....... Voila ! Near prefect for the last 35 shaves. Samo, samo and getting boring. I`m going to use a new month for an excuse to change to something else for awhile. happy Camper here wishing the same for all, God Bless to all.

    Thursday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #105
    Henckels Rapide
    Henckels Wedge
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #105 two-band badger brush. I did two passes with the Henckels Rapide Razor using a Henckels Wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
