Today's shave
Hot water wash with Nivea men's face wash and a washcloth
FS silvertip
Reef Point Test Depth
ATT Calipso m1
Astra ss (1)
RP Test Depth aftershave balm
Today's shave was a bit lack luster. The FS silvertip seemed to be stingy with the large amounts of lather it made. RP test depth does smell very nice. A new to me razor, the ATT Calipso. I feel decently shaved, but i had to work get here. It's very mild (if that's your thing, this one is supremely mild). Feather light, it does sing when your on point, but its a very narrow window of operation. Jury is still out, but it was like kissing your sister. I predict a search for a r or h plate when i get round to it.
Finished with the matching balm.
Seriously hope y'all did as well, or better.

Nice shave this morning.

 

Thank goodness I brought my coldest soaps, balms, and aftershaves to Florida with me because it's ungodly hot here. The Glacial Wintergreen trio gave me tons of menthol freeze and perfect skincare. The soap lathered with an explosion and I had a perfect three pass BBS shave. The balm felt so moisturizing, soothing, as well as frigid, and the witch hazel gave me a menthol blast which off the charts. My wife said she could smell the wintergreen and menthol as soon as I opened the bathroom door when I came out!

Now, we're going for breakfast and we'll sit in the sun a little - damn, it's already 83 and it feels like a sauna! lollllllll

Have a great day, my friends!

 

The C3 did it again. This razor gives one of the most enjoyable, close, and smooth shaves ever. No kidding.

Another great shave. Finished with Glacial Lemon. Holy cow does that stuff pack a punch! For a minute there I thought I was going to have to end up in the chemical burn unit of the local hospital. Fortunately all ended well. Shave on, gentlemen!

it appears your bathroom was a "sauna" of a different kind .

I love the menthol in the Sterling soap that starts the shave off with a straight up orange scent. It smells like you cut open an orange and mixed it with some menthol soap. Then a two pass DFS with the open comb TTO Sheraton which is a somewhat aggressive razor. The finish with a wake up of Fine splash on with the accompanying shot of cologne and I am shaved smooth and smell like a gentleman.

 

I'm so reluctant to try my new OneBlade Core, I'm afraid it's going to fall apart, or the blade with move during the shave. I'll give it a go in the next couple of hours. Wish me luck.
