    Today's shave
    Hot water wash with a washcloth
    Hoffritz pure badger brush
    Bombed Tampa Shave Company Mango Lime
    Mekur Progress (3.5)
    Rockwell swedish stainless steel (5)
    Razorock essential oil of lime aftershave balm
    Today's shave was near perfect in every way. Special note of mango lime, exceptional slickness, great scent, very good cushion and longevity. I really couldn't ask for more in a shave soap. (Maybe a menthol bump built in) but M-Bomb lets me choose, so all is good. Three passes with the progress. The Swedish steel in the Rockwell blade is living up to the Swedish reputation. I'm on 5 shaves with no sign of degradation. I'd only note that the first pass seems rough and noisy, but subsequent passes quiet down and glide. Sorta reminiscent of SR shaving. Finished with RREOL, I'm as good as I can get.
    Church today, y'all come with me. 20170716_092508_resized.jpg

    Going with the Japanese vibe on the straight thread today. My Suzy Q performed wonderfully. Light touch, super reduction, and nothing but face-rubbing goodness all the way around. :happy036:

    [​IMG]Today I had planned to do a shootout between the red tip and the standard flare tip, but since I'm fighting the beginnings of a sinus infection, I decided to stay home from church today. As such, the worry of showing up looking like I'd been in a fight with a bobcat was alleviated, and the call of the straight razor became stronger and stronger. So, my non-focus focus became a bit unfocused as I went off the trail for another straight razor shave. Details in the 30 day rule thread for anyone interested.

    Hi Friends,

    here my Sunday Shave:

    [​IMG]
    Razor: Merkur Progress // Blade: Personna red // Soap: Palmolive Rinfrescante // Brush: PAV Brushworks // Aftershave: Pino Silvestre mixed with Jojoba Oil

    A very joyful shave. With and across the grain on setting 4, against the grain on 1. Smooth and gentle. The Palmolive smells great. I like it a lot better than the "original" version without Menthol. I splshed the Pino Silvestre on and mixed it with a few drops of Jojoba Oil for this "balm-like"-Feeling. Great!!!

    Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and take care.

    Greetings
    Thorsten​
