Tonight's shave was with a French Point, German made razor. I had a very nice shave, that left me BDBS(Baby Dolphin Butt Smooth). Zero issue, but a very very noisy razor.

Razor- Hugo Rader, Solingen.
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood.
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice Cologne. Smells the exact same as the regular lotion, and exactly the same strength. Mmmmm Mmmmm Good.

 

6/8 Boker Rycrofter Had a wonderful shave with this razor.She sports a Yellow Lake finished edge .Sharp and Keen.BTW Grooming Depth Shave Soap is great.

 

5/8 Seelbach. Another keeper....

 

Razor: N.B.& Co.

Not the easiest name (or 2 letters) to research... but they claim excellence and I agree .

Really do love the double notch and decorative collars.
Enjoy your shave!

Second shave with this razor so far. This shave went better the second time. The tang on this one is pretty tall and makes it take more time to shave since it’s harder to maneuver and focus more on angle. But hey it just more time to enjoy.

No shave today, had to blow snow for about 3 hours to get out of the garage and driveway. 35 MPH winds so I'll get to do it again after work. -27 tonight. I don't ever want to see the pile of snow I've shoveled in my life time. BTW, I did find a box with some shaving soap on my steps this morning that was delivered yesterday.

 

Stay safe, Oscar, blowing snow is the absolute worst. Thankfully we hit 55 today and a ton of snow melted, which makes room for the snow that’s coming

 

Today's shave was with an American Made razor. I had a Super smooth 2 pass shave, that left me Closer than I would have liked, beyond BBS. I was distracted with today's events at the home, and my mind wandered. I took a small layer of skin, under the chin. It didn't bleed much, but it sure did smart some, with the Styptic Pen.

Razor- Union Razor-Cutlery Co. Union GA. Extra Hollow Ground.
Brush- B-400, By Tom
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Arctic Blue

Robeson Shuredge Straight Razor
Frank Shaving Boar Brush
WSP Fougere Noir Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Musk After Shave

Haven't used a straight in a while, and since I didn't shave today, I needed more practice, especially with my left hand. Went with the Shuredge tonight, WTG on my first pass and a combination of WTG and XTG for the second pass. Not BBS, but not a bad DFS overall.

 

Great shave with the red injun

 

I like this razor every time I use it. Great looks and great shave.
